How android determines required permissions

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30546197/android-studio-adds-unwanted-permission-after-running-application-on-real-device

If you still wind up with permissions that you do not want, then you will need to determine where the permissions are coming from. There should be a manifest merger report in build/outputs/logs/ of your module.

How to setup license verification library

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18449680/setting-up-the-licensing-verification-library-on-android-studio

In Android Studio, Tools-Android-SDK Manager
In SDK Manager, in the extras section choose Google Play Licensing Library
Go back to Android Studio, and choose File-New-Import Module
ADK Manager will have put the downloaded files under your SDK directory, in my case Desktop/android-sdk-macosx/extras/google/play_licensing/library
Choose to import this directory as a module, and give it a name. I used ‘lvl’
Optionally change targetSdkVersion in the lvl module’s build.gradle to match your project targetSdkVersion.
Then in your projects build.gradle, add the line compile project(':lvl') inside the {dependencies{ section.
Re-sync Gradle and everything should compile correctly.
