Here are the permisions that I ask for in activity resume

Sub Activity_Resume ' good practice work with files in activity resume



    rp.CheckAndRequest(rp.PERMISSION_READ_SMS)
    rp.CheckAndRequest(rp.PERMISSION_READ_CONTACTS)
    rp.CheckAndRequest(rp.PERMISSION_RECEIVE_SMS)
    rp.CheckAndRequest(rp.PERMISSION_RECORD_AUDIO)
    rp.CheckAndRequest(rp.PERMISSION_CALL_PHONE)
    rp.CheckAndRequest(rp.PERMISSION_READ_CALL_LOG)

    rp.CheckAndRequest(rp.PERMISSION_ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)
    rp.CheckAndRequest(rp.PERMISSION_READ_PHONE_STATE)
    rp.CheckAndRequest(rp.PERMISSION_SEND_SMS)

I do not understand what is goning on ...now It works and I can not reproduce the actions that I have been through
A lot of trouble with all these changes ....

 

[hookshy]

Stupid permisions ...what the hell if you do not allow the app will not work ... now have to search for crashes when the user denies permitions...because they are afraid of digital thiefs

I even seen developer ...ask before ..please please allow permitions to this app

@hookshy have you added all the relevant permissions in the Manifest?

I always make sure that I've added all the relevant lines in the manifest file too.

AddPermission(android.permission................)

You can tidy up all those RP's with something like this

'Try this
   For Each RTPermission As String In Array (RP.PERMISSION_READ_SMS, RP.PERMISSION_READ_CONTACTS, RP.PERMISSION_RECEIVE_SMS, RP.PERMISSION_RECORD_AUDIO, _
        RP.PERMISSION_CALL_PHONE, RP.PERMISSION_READ_CALL_LOG, RP.PERMISSION_ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, RP.PERMISSION_READ_PHONE_STATE, RP.PERMISSION_SEND_SMS)
        RP.CheckAndRequest(RTPermission)
        Wait For Activity_PermissionResult (permission As String, Result As Boolean)
        If Not(Result) Then
            ToastMessageShow($"${permission} not granted..."$, True)
        Else
            Log($"${permission} is granted..."$)
        End If
    Next

Enjoy...

@hookshy have you added all the relevant permissions in the Manifest?

I also add to the manifesto but it probably is not necessary. The compiler will add them automatically when compiling.

 

[Peter Simpson]

Hmm, I'm not 100% sure about that @kisoft,
For example when using MLWiFi using target sdk 28, if I remove AddPermission(android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) from the manifest, even though I have the
RP.PERMISSION_ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION in the Main activity requesting for permission, MLWiFi will point blank refuse to work until I put AddPermission(android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) back into the manifest, you can always try it yourself.

I was under the impression that any RTP requested in the the main module would be automatically added to the manifest, but MLWiFi and another library that I used crushed that theory for me. Give me some time to get back home and I'll PM you an example...

Anyway, I always add the manifest permission as a matter or course these days, just to be on the safe side, better safe than sorry wasting time trying to figure out why certain RTP isn't working

1. In most cases you don't need to add any permission as the permissions are declared inside the libraries.

2. There is no need to guess. You can click on List Permissions button (in the Logs tab) and see which permissions where added and whether they are considered dangerous or not.

 

[Peter Simpson]

1. In most cases you don't need to add any permission as the permissions are declared inside the libraries.

That may be in most cases but not all cases, so I just add them anyway to stop any confusions or unnecessary issues, which I've had a few times now.

I sent @kisoft an example via pm, he agreed that the example I sent did indeed need the addpermission adding to the manifest even thought I'm requesting it via RuntimePermissions in the main Activity_Create.

 

[Erel]

adding to the manifest even thought I'm requesting it via RuntimePermissions in the main Activity_Create.

A dialog will never appear for a permission not listed in the manifest file. What I meant is that in most cases you don't need to add the permissions yourself as they will be added for you.
