Permissify - Simplifying Android Permissions

Permissify is an Android library that makes requesting permissions at runtime much easier.

Android Marshmallow added a new functionality to let users grant permissions when running an app instead of granting them all when installing it. This approach gives the user more control but requires developers to add lots of boilerplate code to support it.

Overview

  • Tested in production - over 1000 000 installs in the Holidaycheck app
  • Handles showing Rationale & Permission denied dialogs
  • Consistent API across android versions
  • Perfectly fine with configuration changes
  • API for activity and fragment
  • Works great without hacking android
  • No memory leaks guaranteed
  • Supports Android 15+

Add it to your project

Include the library in your build.gradle

dependencies{

  compile 'com.holidaycheck:permissify:1.0.0' 
}

or to your pom.xml if you are using Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.holidaycheck</groupId>
  <artifactId>permissify</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0</version>
  <type>aar</type> </dependency> 

Configuration

To start using the library you need to extend your activity from PermissifyActivity and configure library in your custom android.app.Application.

Minimum configuration to run is presented below. You basically need to provide translations for every Permission group that is used in your app.

public class Application extends android.app.Application {

@Override
  public void onCreate() {

super.onCreate();

 PermissifyConfig permissifyConfig = new PermissifyConfig.Builder()

 .withDefaultTextForPermissions(new HashMap<String, DialogText>() {
{

put(Manifest.permission_group.LOCATION, new DialogText(R.string.location_rationale, R.string.location_deny_dialog));

put(Manifest.permission_group.CAMERA, new DialogText(R.string.camera_rationale, R.string.camera_deny_dialog));

  
}

}
)

.build();

 PermissifyConfig.initDefault(permissifyConfig);

  
}
 
}

Full configuration looks like this, but mostly you will use minimum config. You can customize default options for every permission call, and dialogs appearance. See javadoc for more details.

PermissifyConfig permissifyConfig = new PermissifyConfig.Builder()
  .withDefaultPermissionCallOptions(

new PermissionCallOptions.Builder()

 .withDefaultDenyDialog(true)

 .withDefaultRationaleDialog(true)

 .withDefaultRationaleDialog(R.string.default_rationale_dialog_text)

 .withDenyDialogMsg(R.string.default_deny_dialog_text)

 .withRationaleEnabled(true)

 .build()
  )
  .withDefaultTextForPermissions(new HashMap<String, DialogText>() {
{

put(Manifest.permission_group.LOCATION, new DialogText(R.string.location_rationale, R.string.location_deny_dialog));

put(Manifest.permission_group.CAMERA, new DialogText(R.string.camera_rationale, R.string.camera_deny_dialog));

  
}

}
)
  .withPermissionTextFallback(new DialogText(R.string.fallback_rationale_dialog_text, R.string.fallback_deny_dialog_text))
  .withDialogRationaleDialogFactory(new PermissifyConfig.AlertDialogFactory() {

@Override

public AlertDialog createDialog(Context context, String dialogMsg, DialogInterface.OnClickListener onClickListener) {

 return new CustomRationaleDialog(context, dialogMsg, onClickListener);

}

  
}
)
  .withDenyDialogFactory(new PermissifyConfig.AlertDialogFactory() {

@Override

public AlertDialog createDialog(Context context, String dialogMsg, DialogInterface.OnClickListener onClickListener) {

 return new CustomDenyDialog(context, dialogMsg, onClickListener);

}

  
}
)
  .build();
  PermissifyConfig.initDefault(permissifyConfig);

Usage

To request specific permission you need make a call to PermissifyManager. Every call is associated with your unique RequestId.

getPermissifyManager().callWithPermission(this, LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUEST_ID, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);

the result and the current permission status is provided via

@Override public void onCallWithPermissionResult(int callId, PermissifyManager.CallRequestStatus status) {

  if (callId == LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUEST_ID) {

switch (status) {

 case PERMISSION_GRANTED:

  getUserLocation();

 break

 case PERMISSION_DENIED_ONCE:

 //do some custom logic

 break;

 case PERMISSION_DENIED_FOREVER:

 //do some custom logic

 case SHOW_PERMISSION_RATIONALE:

 //do some custom logic

}

  
}
 
}

If you want to request permission from a fragment make sure it implements PermissifyManager.Callback

There are two types of dialogs:

  • Rationale dialog - is shown in situations where the user might need an explanation why the app needs this permission
  • Deny dialog - is shown when the user permanently denied requested permission

There are number of options that you can change when requesting for permission using additional parameter:

getPermissifyManager().callWithPermission(this, LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUEST_ID, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,

 new PermissionCallOptions.Builder()

  .withDefaultDenyDialog(false)

  .withRationaleEnabled(false)

  .build());

Current limitations

  • Multiple permission request at once is not currently supported (will be added soon)

Resources

Android Library to easily allow you to determine device's WebGL support level.

It's a tracking activity ring widget like in Apple watch for Android.

A different beautiful Floating Edit Text.

JsonAnnotation can speed up Android development. It generates gson model class by json string automatically and lets you concentrate on what's really important.

The library allows to create fixed collage (cards can not be moved, scaled or rotated) or dynamic collage (cards can move, scale and rotate).

CustomMenu is a custom control that can help you to create Menu quickly.
