PermissionsDispatcher Build Status

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(Java)

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, Fragment or Controller 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: 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 Download

dependencies {
  implementation "org.permissionsdispatcher:permissionsdispatcher:${latest.version}"
  annotationProcessor "org.permissionsdispatcher:permissionsdispatcher-processor:${latest.version}"
}

With Kotlin:

apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

dependencies {
  implementation "org.permissionsdispatcher:permissionsdispatcher:${latest.version}"
  kapt "org.permissionsdispatcher:permissionsdispatcher-processor:${latest.version}"
}

Snapshots of the development version are available in JFrog's snapshots repository. Add the repo below to download SNAPSHOT releases.
