Remarks

Determine whether the calling process of an IPC you are handling has been granted a particular permission. This is basically the same as calling #checkPermission(String, int, int) with the pid and uid returned by android.os.Binder#getCallingPid and android.os.Binder#getCallingUid. One important difference is that if you are not currently processing an IPC, this function will always fail. This is done to protect against accidentally leaking permissions; you can use #checkCallingOrSelfPermission to avoid this protection.
