An android library that makes it really easy to deal with dynamic permissions. Based on the context, library automatically decides whether to show a dialog (in case app is in foreground) or a notification (in case permission is required by a background service).

The callbacks (permission denied / granted) don't seem to work in a foreground service in Android API 29. The permission prompt shows up, but callbacks don't fire. Used the code from the Readme and it works when I place it in my MainActivity but it doesn't work in the foreground service.
Add dependency to gradle file
Error:failed linking references. (and more messages that have parts of my own package names)
If I remove that dependency again, everything works as before. So this dependency is messing up the build. I can't explain it any better, this is my first experience with Android programming.
My crash reporting tools are logging dozens of ConcurrentModificationException exceptions related to this library (2.0.49). Reports are from various devices including different Samsung, Google, OnePlus, and Xiaomi models. The consistent factor does appear to be that all devices appear to be running Android 10. Unfortunately all I can offer is the raw error output, as I am unable to reproduce the error myself. The log output is identical on all devices except some line numbers for the OS methods are slightly different. Here is an example from a Google device:

Hi, this isn't a bug, just a question. I can't find this library in maven central or bintray. Do you publish this library anywhere so that we can consume it without having to download and build the source?
Thanks!
If PermissionManager is called when app is in foreground everything works ok - dialog is show.
But when app is in background, no notification is shown (and according to docs:
In case permissions are not yet provided, user would be asked for permissions (a dialog in case app is in foreground, a notification in case it's in background)) it should.
Instead following error is found in adb log:
NotificationService: No Channel found for pkg=xxx, channelId=android-permissions, id=-1951610903, tag=[android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION], ...)
The reason is that this plugin is using channels, but not registering them with NotificationManager. createNotificationChannel
Steps to reproduce the problem
Call PermissionManager checkPermissions when app is in background
Expected behavior:
Notification should shown with Allow action
Android API Version:
API 27 (Oreo)
Android Device (include Model and Manufacturer):
any
Link to sample code (not always needed):
Fatal Exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: com.xxxxxxxx.apps.xxxxxxx: Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that one of FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE be specified when creating a PendingIntent.
Strongly consider using FLAG_IMMUTABLE, only use FLAG_MUTABLE if some functionality depends on the PendingIntent being mutable, e.g. if it needs to be used with inline replies or bubbles.

Right now the notification does not produce a heads-up visual, which means the user may not notice that they need to interact with this notification to continue.

Hello!
I really liked your library and I would really love if there were a function like checkPermissions(...), but that instead of using a notification, would open the permissions activity using intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK.
I am developing a keyboard so I do kind of running on the foreground even though my service isn't an activity.
Thanks anyway!
Hello! Thanks for the library!
As a developer, I would like to have the ability to use my own app logo/icon for the status bar notification. Right now it's using the default android icon, which is OK, but I think we can do better.
I believe this part
Builder notificationBuilder = (new Builder(this.context, "android-permissions")).setContentTitle(title).setContentText(message).setAutoCancel(true).setPriority(0).setSmallIcon(17629184).setContentIntent(pendingIntent);needs to be updated with an option to use provided icon
Thank you!
The JCenter repository is shutting down and Android Studio now displays a warning when including dependencies that access it. It appears that android-permissions is hosted on JCenter and will need to be moved to allow future updates and prevent this warning.
From https://developer.android.com/studio/build/jcenter-migration:
"JFrog, the company that maintains the JCenter artifact repository used by many Android projects, made JCenter a read-only repository on March 31st, 2021. According to the announcement, JCenter will allow downloads of existing artifacts indefinitely.
Developers who publish artifacts on JCenter should migrate their packages to a new host, such as Maven Central.
Developers who use dependencies from JCenter will need to find the new location of updated versions of those dependencies."
Thank you for this amazing library, it helps escaping the tyranny of the activity lifecycle!
I'm using android.useAndroidX=true and android.enableJetifier=true in the gradle.properties of my app which leads to an exception (see below). To avoid this, I had to add implementation 'androidx.localbroadcastmanager:localbroadcastmanager:1.0.0' to my gradle.build file.
Because AndroidX replaces the now unmaintained Support Library, I think the time is right to switch to AndroidX, adding the correct localbroadcastmanager-dependency to android-permissions while doing so. Would you accept a PR doing this?
I see that LocalBroadcastManager itself is deprecated, but there is no direct replacement and the AndroidX version isn't going anywhere, so I'd leave the code alone for now, just add the dependency.

great library!
Hi,
I am using an npm plugin that uses android-permissions 0.1.8
When permissions are denied, my app crashes at PermissionHandler.java:102
I can see that your library has been developed well past 0.1.8
Has this bug already been fixed?
Can you give me the lowest version number at which it is fixed?
E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
Process: com.okappy.okappy, PID: 28732

Thank you in advance for any help you are able to give me.

On create() I have this part of code:
PermissionManager permissionManager = PermissionManager.getInstance(this);
permissionManager.checkPermissions(singleton(Manifest.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT), new PermissionManager.PermissionRequestListener() {
@Override
public void onPermissionGranted() {
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Permissions Granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
fingerprintCheckBox.setEnabled(true);
}
@Override
public void onPermissionDenied() {
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Permissions Denied", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
But when I check if the permission is granted:
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
it returns FALSE.
As you're probably aware, there's a new location permissions model for Android Q.
I've donated to you in the past. How much would you like for a donation to upgrade this library to support the new location permissions of Android Q?
Hello!
Love that the latest release supports setting the notification icon. Would you consider adding support for setting the color as well? It appears that this could be done when setting up the Builder in NotificationService.java and exposed to the API caller similarly to .withSmallIcon().
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context, CHANNEL_ID)
.setContentTitle(title)
.setContentText(message)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT)
.setSmallIcon(smallIconResId)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
Thanks!
Andrew
Does this library use the application attribute allowBackup
Can it be removed?
Implementing the library in an App which also defines this attribute requires some tools:replace fiddling:
/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:11:7-34 Error:
Attribute application@allowBackup value=(false) from AndroidManifest.xml:11:7-34
is also present at [com.intentfilter:android-permissions:0.1.5] AndroidManifest.xml:12:9-35 value=(true).
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:allowBackup"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:7:5-24:19 to override.
Using checkPermissions(), if there is a pending prompt for one permission, and request(s) for other permission(s) arrive, the user is never prompted for the additional permission(s) until the app restarts. Looking at logcat output, it appears that the library believes there is still a pending request for the second permission but that prompt is never shown to the user.
For example, upon launching my app, it asks for ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION almost immediately. Within a short period of time (less than a second), READ_PHONE_STATE typically becomes needed by another method. In this instance, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION was also requested. The user gets the location permission prompt, but the phone permission prompt never appears unless you shut down and restart the app. Logcat output attached with comments:
