EasyGrant

EasyGrant is yet another Android Library to ease the process of asking Runtime Permissions. Quoting Android official site -- Beginning in Android 6.0 (API level 23), users grant permissions to apps while the app is running, not when they install the app. This approach streamlines the app install process, since the user does not need to grant permissions when they install or update the app. It also gives the user more control over the app's functionality; for example, a user could choose to give a camera app access to the camera but not to the device location. The user can revoke the permissions at any time, by going to the app's Settings screen.

Actual code for seeking permissions, showing rationale and handling disabled permissions is little complex and tightly coupled with Activity.

HOW IT WORKS

Firstly, create PermissionRequest

private var cameraPermission = PermissionRequest(Manifest.permission.CAMERA,
            "I need camera permission to show you world", 1)

Secondly, call the method like this for single permission

private fun askCamPermission() {
        EasyGrant.Builder()
                .withActivity(this)
                .withPermission(cameraPermission)
                .setCallback(this)
                .seek()
    }

EasyGrant will provide simple callback of GrantCallbacks like

interface GrantCallbacks {
   
    fun onPermissionDenied(deniedPermissions: ArrayList<PermissionRequest>)

    fun onPermissionDisabled(disabledPermissions: ArrayList<PermissionRequest>)

    fun onPermissionGranted(grantedPermissions: ArrayList<PermissionRequest>)
}

EasyGrant seeks either a single permission or seeks multiple permissions in one go. To seek a single permission you must call withPermission(permissionRequest: PermissionRequest), To seek multiple permission you must call withPermissions(permissionsRequest: List<PermissionRequest>)

PermissionRequest takes permission name, rationale message to be shown and id.

EasyGrant throws IllegalEasyGrantBuilderException if with(activity: Activity)not called or called with a null value. If setCallback(callback: GrantCallbacks) is not called or called with null value. If none of the permissions are requested.

Multiple permission

EasyGrant.Builder()
        .withActivity(this)
        .withPermissions(permissionsList)
        .setCallback(this)
        .seek()

Usage

Dependency

Include the library in your app level build.gradle

dependencies{
    compile 'com.abhinavsharma:easygrant:0.0.5'
}

Do you want to contribute?

Feel free to add or suggest any useful feature to the library, I would be glad to improve it with your help.
