EasyPermissions is a wrapper library to simplify basic system permissions logic when targeting Android M or higher.
Note: If your app is written in Kotlin consider the easypermissions-ktx library which adds Kotlin extensions to the core EasyPermissions library.
EasyPermissions is installed by adding the following dependency to your build.gradle file:
dependencies {
// For developers using AndroidX in their applications
implementation 'pub.devrel:easypermissions:3.0.0'
// For developers using the Android Support Library
implementation 'pub.devrel:easypermissions:2.0.1'
}To begin using EasyPermissions, have your Activity (or Fragment) override the onRequestPermissionsResult method:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
// Forward results to EasyPermissions
EasyPermissions.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults, this);
}
}The example below shows how to request permissions for a method that requires both
CAMERA and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permissions. There are a few things to note:
- Using
EasyPermissions#hasPermissions(...)to check if the app already has the required permissions. This method can take any number of permissions as its final argument. - Requesting permissions with
EasyPermissions#requestPermissions. This method will request the system permissions and show the rationale string provided if necessary. The request code provided should be unique to this request, and the method can take any number of permissions as its final argument. - Use of the
AfterPermissionGrantedannotation. This is optional, but provided for convenience. If all of the permissions in a given request are granted, all methods annotated with the proper request code will be executed(be sure to have an unique request code). The annotated method needs to be void and without input parameters (instead, you can use onSaveInstanceState in order to keep the state of your suppressed parameters). This is to simplify the common flow of needing to run the requesting method after all of its permissions have been granted. This can also be achieved by adding logic on theonPermissionsGrantedcallback.
@AfterPermissionGranted(RC_CAMERA_AND_LOCATION)
private void methodRequiresTwoPermission() {
String[] perms = {Manifest.permission.CAMERA, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION};
if (EasyPermissions.hasPermissions(this, perms)) {
// Already have permission, do the thing
// ...
} else {
// Do not have permissions, request them now
EasyPermissions.requestPermissions(this, getString(R.string.camera_and_location_rationale),
RC_CAMERA_AND_LOCATION, perms);
}
}Or for finer control over the rationale dialog, use a PermissionRequest:
EasyPermissions.requestPermissions(
new PermissionRequest.Builder(this, RC_CAMERA_AND_LOCATION, perms)
.setRationale(R.string.camera_and_location_rationale)
.setPositiveButtonText(R.string.rationale_ask_ok)
.setNegativeButtonText(R.string.rationale_ask_cancel)
.setTheme(R.style.my_fancy_style)
.build());Optionally, for a finer control, you can have your Activity / Fragment implement
the PermissionCallbacks interface.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements EasyPermissions.PermissionCallbacks {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
// Forward results to EasyPermissions
EasyPermissions.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults, this);
}
@Override
public void onPermissionsGranted(int requestCode, List<String> list) {
// Some permissions have been granted
// ...
}
@Override
public void onPermissionsDenied(int requestCode, List<String> list) {
// Some permissions have been denied
// ...
}
}In some cases your app will not function properly without certain permissions. If the user
denies these permissions with the "Never Ask Again" option, you will be unable to request
these permissions from the user and they must be changed in app settings. You can use the
method EasyPermissions.somePermissionPermanentlyDenied(...) to display a dialog to the
user in this situation and direct them to the system setting screen for your app:
Note: Due to a limitation in the information provided by the Android
framework permissions API, the somePermissionPermanentlyDenied method only
works after the permission has been denied and your app has received
the onPermissionsDenied callback. Otherwise the library cannot distinguish
permanent denial from the "not yet denied" case.
@Override
public void onPermissionsDenied(int requestCode, List<String> perms) {
Log.d(TAG, "onPermissionsDenied:" + requestCode + ":" + perms.size());
// (Optional) Check whether the user denied any permissions and checked "NEVER ASK AGAIN."
// This will display a dialog directing them to enable the permission in app settings.
if (EasyPermissions.somePermissionPermanentlyDenied(this, perms)) {
new AppSettingsDialog.Builder(this).build().show();
}
}
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == AppSettingsDialog.DEFAULT_SETTINGS_REQ_CODE) {
// Do something after user returned from app settings screen, like showing a Toast.
Toast.makeText(this, R.string.returned_from_app_settings_to_activity, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
}Implement the EasyPermissions.RationaleCallbacks if you want to interact with the rationale dialog.
@Override
public void onRationaleAccepted(int requestCode) {
// Rationale accepted to request some permissions
// ...
}
@Override
public void onRationaleDenied(int requestCode) {
// Rationale denied to request some permissions
// ...
}Rationale callbacks don't necessarily imply permission changes. To check for those, see the EasyPermissions.PermissionCallbacks.
