Annotation based simple API flavoured with AOP to handle new Android runtime permission model.
If you check Google's Samples about the new permission model, you'll see a lot of boiler plate code for requesting, handling and retrying the request for required permissions.
Let will minimize the boiler plate code you have to write for requesting and handling permissions and hence help you keep your code more readable.
Annotate your methods requiring permissions with @AskPermission and let Let handle the rest.
@AskPermission(ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
private void getUserLocationAndDoSomething() {
Toast.makeText(
SampleActivity.this,
"Now that I have the permission I need, I'll get your location and do something with it",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
).show();
...
}@AskPermission({
Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS,
Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE,
Manifest.permission.CAMERA
})
private void skipTutorial() {
// permissions needed for the best app experience are granted; let's go to the app's home screen
startActivity(new Intent(this, HomeActivity.class));
}Let will check these annotated methods and execute them unless the permissions required are granted; otherwise Let will put on hold the method execution and request these permissions at runtime. After examining the permission request result, Let will execute the method already put on hold only if the permissions are granted by user.
Let will also inform about the rationales before making any permission request and tell about denied permissions; whether they're simply denied or with 'Never Ask Again' checked.
Just make sure to override the onRequestPermissionsResult in your Activity or Fragment, where your
@AskPermission annotated methods are located:
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
Let.handle(this, requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
}And make sure your Activity or Fragment implements RuntimePermissionListener in order to get notified
about denied permissions and rationales:
public class SampleActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements RuntimePermissionListener {
// ....
@Override
public void onShowPermissionRationale(List<String> permissions, final RuntimePermissionRequest request) {
/**
* you may show permission rationales in a dialog, wait for user confirmation and retry the permission
* request by calling request.retry()
*/
}
@Override
public void onPermissionDenied(List<DeniedPermission> deniedPermissionList) {
/**
* Do whatever you need to do about denied permissions:
* - update UI
* - if permission is denied with 'Never Ask Again', prompt a dialog to tell user
* to go to the app settings screen in order to grant again the permission denied
*/
}
// ...
