Android Question Google don't like the text of the background location access request anymore

When I put in the rp.CheckAndRequest(rp.PERMISSION_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) ir comes up with the standard question of access to the user that have been going through the Google Play aproval process for years.
However now Google complains and says:

• Appear before your app’s location runtime permission.
• Include at least the following sentence, adapted to include all the relevant features requesting access to location in the background in the app that are readily visible to the user: “This app collects location data to enable ["feature"], ["feature"], & ["feature"] even when the app is closed or not in use.”

So now it needs to be app specific. How do I modify the text that the RunTimePermissions (Version 1.12) library presents.

Also how do I diverse in the location request between just foreground access and both foreground and background access.
Since they now demand a video of how and why you need location background access, some of my apps could be modified to just use location in the foreground.

Try my suggestion to explain to the user WHY background location is needed:

Explain to user why a permission is needed before displaying Android's cryptic permission prompt

Below is some sample code I use to display the reason why my app needs a particular permission so that the user is well informed of why its needed before I let Android display it's cryptic and sometimes dangerous sounding permission prompts, such as "Allow MyApp to access photos, media, and...

The async msgbox is not as sleek as integrating it directly into the text but I will see if Google will approve it.

Still struggling with what triggers the "Allow all the time option" for location.
I have 2 apps that have the exact same Mainifest and both runs rp.CheckAndRequest(rp.PERMISSION_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) but on one I also get asked the "Allow all the time" option wile the other one only asks "Allow only while using the app" and no all the time option.
