Location permission about rxandroidble HOT 7 CLOSED

Yes, you should handle them by yourself. It would be hard to do it in the library because each application has it's own design. Making an universal one might not be the best idea.

There are libraries for Runtime Permissions that might be a good choice for you.

Hey!

Starting from Android 6.0 it is required to hold ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION in order to get scan results of device mac address. This is to strengthen user privacy. Even more, it is required that the user will have location services enabled.

You can read more [here](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/le/BluetoothLeScanner.html#startScan%28java.util.List<android.bluetooth.le.ScanFilter>, android.bluetooth.le.ScanSettings, android.bluetooth.le.ScanCallback%29).

We handle it internally (both permission and enabled state) and BleScanException is emitted with code LOCATION_PERMISSION_MISSING or LOCATION_SERVICES_DISABLED.

And why don't you handle the "permission request" in your library? Do I have to handle by myself?

I always get the hint: Location services needs to be enabled on Android 6.0
How can I enable the location services?
Thanks

Oh, never mind, I just enable it (By enable GPS...)
Thanks for the source anyway.
