PermissionsDispatcher

Fully Kotlin/Java support
Special permissions support
100% reflection-free

PermissionsDispatcher provides a simple annotation-based API to handle runtime permissions.

This library lifts the burden that comes with writing a bunch of check statements whether a permission has been granted or not from you, in order to keep your code clean and safe.

Usage

Kotlin: You can pick either of ktx or kapt.
Java: apt

Here's a minimum example, in which you register a MainActivity which requires Manifest.permission.CAMERA.

0. Prepare AndroidManifest

Add the following line to AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

1. Attach annotations

PermissionsDispatcher introduces only a few annotations, keeping its general API concise:

NOTE: Annotated methods must not be private.

Annotation	Required	Description
`@RuntimePermissions`	✓	Register an `Activity` or `Fragment` to handle permissions
`@NeedsPermission`	✓	Annotate a method which performs the action that requires one or more permissions
`@OnShowRationale`		Annotate a method which explains why the permissions are needed. It passes in a `PermissionRequest` object which can be used to continue or abort the current permission request upon user input. If you don't specify any argument for the method compiler will generate `process${NeedsPermissionMethodName}ProcessRequest` and `cancel${NeedsPermissionMethodName}ProcessRequest`. You can use those methods in place of `PermissionRequest`(ex: with `DialogFragment`)
`@OnPermissionDenied`		Annotate a method which is invoked if the user doesn't grant the permissions
`@OnNeverAskAgain`		Annotate a method which is invoked if the user chose to have the device "never ask again" about a permission

@RuntimePermissions
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity(), View.OnClickListener {

    @NeedsPermission(Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
    fun showCamera() {
        supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction()
                .replace(R.id.sample_content_fragment, CameraPreviewFragment.newInstance())
                .addToBackStack("camera")
                .commitAllowingStateLoss()
    }

    @OnShowRationale(Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
    fun showRationaleForCamera(request: PermissionRequest) {
        showRationaleDialog(R.string.permission_camera_rationale, request)
    }

    @OnPermissionDenied(Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
    fun onCameraDenied() {
        Toast.makeText(this, R.string.permission_camera_denied, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
    }

    @OnNeverAskAgain(Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
    fun onCameraNeverAskAgain() {
        Toast.makeText(this, R.string.permission_camera_never_askagain, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
    }
}

2. Delegate to generated functions

Now generated functions become much more concise and intuitive than Java version!

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
        findViewById(R.id.button_camera).setOnClickListener {
            // NOTE: delegate the permission handling to generated function
            showCameraWithPermissionCheck()
        }
    }

    override fun onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode: Int, permissions: Array<String>, grantResults: IntArray) {
        super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults)
        // NOTE: delegate the permission handling to generated function
        onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, grantResults)
    }

Installation

NOTE:

If you're using jCenter we've moved on to MavenCentral, see migration guide.
4.x only supports Jetpack. If you still use appcompat 3.x is the way to go.

To add PermissionsDispatcher to your project, include the following in your app module build.gradle file:

${latest.version} is

dependencies {
  implementation "com.github.permissions-dispatcher:permissionsdispatcher:${latest.version}"
  annotationProcessor "com.github.permissions-dispatcher:permissionsdispatcher-processor:${latest.version}"
}

With Kotlin:

apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

dependencies {
  implementation "com.github.permissions-dispatcher:permissionsdispatcher:${latest.version}"
  kapt "com.github.permissions-dispatcher:permissionsdispatcher-processor:${latest.version}"
}
