Android Permission: Opposite to "Full Internet Access"

In Android an application can request the android.permission.INTERNET permission. This gets translated by Android for the UI to "full Internet access".

Is there something like "restricted Internet Access"? What does the word "full" mean here? Are there any other permissi开发者_如何学运维ons which enable Internet Access but only to specific sites?

I wrote an application which only needs access to one url and only needs a HTTP Connection to download this url. Do I need the INTERNET-Permission or is there something less which still suffices my needs?

INTERNET Allows applications to open network sockets.

USED FOR INTERNET ACCESS... There is no other permission and the word FULL is meaningless

However note these permissions:

ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE Allows applications to access information about networks

ACCESS_WIFI_STATE Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks

CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE Allows applications to change network connectivity state
