Android Question Runtime Permissions

[aaronk]

Hi,

I had a look and found there is a new runtime permissions going to be introduced in Android 6.0.

The part I would like to know how to do in B4A is how to Check if the app has the needed permission already enabled.

http://developer.android.com/preview/features/runtime-permissions.html

Any ideas on how to do this in B4A ?

you need a wrapper library for this. Idon´t know any exiting library for the new runtimepermissions.

I'm currently working on it.

I think a library will not be necessary because only 3 methods needs to be called and this can be done with JavaObject or Reflection.

But I think it is quite complicated to use (much code, events, inline Java code etc.) and maybe I can wrap some of the functionality into a class and make usage simpler.

Maybe I should write a tutorial how to use this.

Problem is that you HAVE to use it if you want to use targetSdkVersion=23 or above.

Thanks Corwin but if it s compulsory then perhaps Erel ought to include it in the core?

I have thought about it this night and I must agree. I think this feature will be very important in the future so I think it should be a core feature of the IDE.

I created a feature request for it in the bugs and wishlist forum.
