     16 <dd itemprop="description">Declares the base name for a tree of permissions.  The application takes
     17 ownership of all names within the tree.  It can dynamically add new permissions 
     18 to the tree by calling <code>{@link android.content.pm.PackageManager#addPermission PackageManager.addPermission()}</code>.  Names within the tree are separated by
     19 periods ('{@code .}').  For example, if the base name is
     20 {@code com.example.project.taxes}, permissions like the following might be
     21 added:
     22 
     23 <p style="margin-left: 2em">{@code com.example.project.taxes.CALCULATE}
     24 <br/>{@code com.example.project.taxes.deductions.MAKE_SOME_UP}
     25 <br/>{@code com.example.project.taxes.deductions.EXAGGERATE}</p>
     26 
     27 <p>
     28 Note that this element does not declare a permission itself, only a 
     29 namespace in which further permissions can be placed.  See the 
     30 <code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/permission-element.html">&lt;permission&gt;</a></code> 
     31 element for information on declaring permissions.

     35 <dt><a name="icon"></a>{@code android:icon}</dt>
     36 <dd>An icon representing all the permissions in the tree.  This attribute 
     37 must be set as a reference to a drawable resource containing the image 
     38 definition.</dd>
     39 
     40 <dt><a name="label"></a>{@code android:label}</dt>
     41 <dd>A user-readable name for the group.  As a convenience, the label can 
     42 be directly set as a raw string for quick and dirty programming.  However, 
     43 when the application is ready to be published, it should be set as a 
     44 reference to a string resource, so that it can be localized like other 
     45 strings in the user interface.</dd>
     46 
     47 <dt><a name="nm"></a>{@code android:name}</dt>
     48 <dd>The name that's at the base of the permission tree.  It serves as 
     49 a prefix to all permission names in the tree.  Java-style scoping should 
     50 be used to ensure that the name is unique.  The name must have more than 
     51 two period-separated segments in its path &mdash; for example, 
     52 {@code com.example.base} is OK, but {@code com.example} is not.</dd>
