Reactive Permissions

Deal with Android M permissions in runtime in a simple way with reactive programming. This library was developed in Kotlin but can interoperate with Java.

  • You may define the permissions that you need (one or many at once). Each permission must be set in the Manifest

  • First verify if the permission is already granted, otherwise request to the user

  • Each permission may contain a string resource explaining why your app requires this permission. If the user denied the permission, the explanation is displayed with the possibility to retry or skip. Explanation can be omitted if the context is clear.

  • If some permissions are very important for your app functionality, you can define that can't continue without this. When an essential permission is denied, a special block dialog is displayed with retry or close options.

  • If the user choose the option "never ask again", the retry button in the block dialog opens the preferences of the app.

Setup

Make sure you have configured the repository jcenter(), it is almost always there

Add this to the gradle dependencies for your module:

  • For RxJava 1.x
compile 'com.github.maxcruz:reactive-permissions:1.5'
  • For RxJava 2.x
compile 'com.github.maxcruz:reactive-permissions:2.1'

Usage for Kotlin, read here for Java implementation

Define permissions as needed:

val camera = Permission(

Manifest.permission.CAMERA, // Permission constant to request

R.string.rationale_camera, // String resource with rationale explanation

true // Define if the app can continue without the permission )  val location = Permission(

Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,

R.string.rationale_location,

false // If the user deny this permission, block the app )
val contacts = Permission(

Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS,

null, // The context is clear and isn't needed explanation for this permission

true )  // Put all permissions to evaluate in a single array  val permissions = listOf(location, camera, contacts)

Create the library object for the request

// Define a code to request the permissions private val REQUEST_CODE = 10 // Instantiate the library val reactive: ReactivePermissions = ReactivePermissions(this, REQUEST_CODE)

Subscribe to observe results Pair<String, Boolean>

reactive.observeResultPermissions().subscribe {
 event ->
  if (event.second) {

Toast.makeText(this, "${
event.first
}
 GRANTED :-)", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
  
}
 else {

Toast.makeText(this, "${
event.first
}
 DENIED :-(", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
  
}
 
}

Evaluate the defined permissions. Call evaluate after of register the observer

reactive.evaluate(permissions)

In the activity, receive the response from the user and pass to the lib

override fun onRequestPermissionsResult(code: Int, permissions: Array<String>, results: IntArray) {

if (code == REQUEST_CODE)

  reactive.receive(permissions, results) 
}
