EasyPermissions is a wrapper library to simplify basic system permissions logic when targeting Android M or higher.
EasyPermissions is installed by adding the following dependency to your build.gradle file:
dependencies { compile 'pub.devrel:easypermissions:0.1.9' }
To begin using EasyPermissions, have your Activity (or Fragment) override the onRequestPermissionsResult method:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); } @Override public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) { super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults); // Forward results to EasyPermissions EasyPermissions.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults, this); } }
The example below shows how to request permissions for a method that requires both
CAMERA and CHANGE_WIFI_STATE permissions. There are a few things to note:
- Using
EasyPermissions#hasPermissions(...)to check if the app already has the required permissions. This method can take any number of permissions as its final argument. - Requesting permissions with
EasyPermissions#requestPermissions. This method will request the system permissions and show the rationale string provided if necessary. The request code provided should be unique to this request, and the method can take any number of permissions as its final argument. - Use of the
AfterPermissionGrantedannotation. This is optional, but provided for convenience. If all of the permissions in a given request are granted, any methods annotated with the proper request code will be executed. This is to simplify the common flow of needing to run the requesting method after all of its permissions have been granted. This can also be achieved by adding logic on theonPermissionsGrantedcallback.
@AfterPermissionGranted(RC_CAMERA_AND_WIFI) private void methodRequiresTwoPermission() { String[] perms = {Manifest.permission.CAMERA, Manifest.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE}; if (EasyPermissions.hasPermissions(this, perms)) { // Already have permission, do the thing // ... } else { // Do not have permissions, request them now EasyPermissions.requestPermissions(this, getString(R.string.camera_and_wifi_rationale), RC_CAMERA_AND_WIFI, perms); } }
Optionally, for a finer control, you can have your Activity / Framgment implement
the PermissionCallbacks interface.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements EasyPermissions.PermissionCallbacks { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); } @Override public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) { super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults); // Forward results to EasyPermissions EasyPermissions.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults, this); } @Override public void onPermissionsGranted(int requestCode, List<String> list) { // Some permissions have been granted // ... } @Override public void onPermissionsDenied(int requestCode, List<String> list) { // Some permissions have been denied // ... } }
In some cases your app will not function properly without certain permissions. If the user
denies these permissions with the "Never Ask Again" option, you will be unable to request
these permissions from the user and they must be changed in app settings. You can use the
method EasyPermissions.checkDeniedPermissionsNeverAskAgain() to display a dialog to the
user in this situation and direct them to the system setting screen for your app:
@Override public void onPermissionsDenied(int requestCode, List<String> perms) { Log.d(TAG, "onPermissionsDenied:" + requestCode + ":" + perms.size()); // Handle negative button on click listener. Pass null if you don't want to handle it. DialogInterface.OnClickListener cancelButtonListener = new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) { // Let's show a toast Toast.makeText(getContext(), R.string.settings_dialog_canceled, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT) .show(); } }; // (Optional) Check whether the user denied permissions and checked NEVER ASK AGAIN. // This will display a dialog directing them to enable the permission in app settings. EasyPermissions.checkDeniedPermissionsNeverAskAgain( this, getString(R.string.rationale_ask_again), R.string.setting, R.string.cancel, cancelButtonListener, perms); } @Override public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); // Do something after user returned from app settings screen. User may be // changed/updated the permissions. Let's check whether the user has some permissions or not // after returned from settings screen if (requestCode == EasyPermissions.SETTINGS_REQ_CODE) { boolean hasSomePermissions = EasyPermissions.hasPermissions( getContext(), somePermissions ); // Do something with the updated permissions } }
