Unit test for uses-permission permissions

Question

I'm trying to figure a way to test if <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> is set in AndroidManifest.xml, but I can't. Is it possible to do that? Right now I'm using ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2.

I'm trying to learn testing in Android Studio, and I think that testing that certain uses-permission permissions are set is a good idea at the start of testing the application.

This is how I ended up doing it:

Context testContext = getActivity().getContext();
PackageManager pm = testContext.getPackageManager();

expected = PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED;
actual = pm.checkPermission(Manifest.permission.<PERMISSION_YOU_ARE_LOOKING_FOR>, testContext.getPackageName());
assertEquals(expected, actual);
