Android Question Removing permission

To remove the contact permission, instead of having the user uninstall the app (and thus loose all its settings) and then reinstall it and deny the contacts, you could simply programically bring the user to your apps info screen and allow them to manually remove the contact permission.

Here is ChatGPT info on that...

Here’s how you can do it in a B4A app:

1. Intent to Open the App Settings: You need to create an intent that targets the Android system settings for your specific app. The intent uses the ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS of the Android settings.
2. Implementing the Intent: You can use the following B4A code snippet to launch the app settings screen:

This code does the following:

• Initializes an intent with ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS. This action shows the application details settings screen.
• Sets the data URI to your app's package name, which is necessary to direct the user specifically to your app's settings.
• Starts the activity using StartActivity, which will open the settings screen.

1. Usage: You can call this method (OpenAppSettings) from anywhere in your app where you deem it appropriate, such as after a user has denied a permission request or from a settings/help screen within your app that explains permissions.

By opening the app settings screen, users can manually enable or disable permissions as they prefer. This approach respects user autonomy while providing them an easy path to manage app permissions.
