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
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:
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}"
}
