And as you quoted yourself, I have it : "and curently have a readable
result"

.... which I needed so I could take a quick peek at the permissions an app
requires.  The resource-ID to string is just an (though not unwelcome)
extra.

So, what would I need those tools for ?

You're mentioning the name of that app *way* to many times, making it look
as if you are trying to push it (sales pitch).  Which that makes me
uncomfortable and causes the opposite of what you are trying to effect.
