Android RuntimePermissionsBasic Sample

This basic sample shows runtime permissions available in the Android M and above. It shows how to use the new runtime permission API to check for and request permissions.

Introduction

Android M introduced runtime permissions. Applications targeting M and above need to request their permissions at runtime. This sample introduces the basic use of the runtime permissions API by checking for permissions (Activity#checkSelfPermission(String)), requesting permissions (Activity#requestPermissions(String[],int)) and handling the permission request callback (Activity#onRequestPermissionsResult(int, permissions[], int[])). An application can display additional context and justification for a permission after calling Activity#shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(String).

See the “RuntimePermissions” sample for a more complete description and reference implementation.
