android app custom library
AppTools is an Android library that simplifies the process of requesting permissions at runtime and much more.
Android Marshmallow includes a new functionality to let users grant or deny permissions when running an app instead of granting them all when installing it. This approach gives the user more control over applications but requires developers to add lots of code to support it.
Its frees your permission code from your activities and lets you write that logic anywhere you want.
Include the library in your build.gradle
dependencies{
compile 'com.techexe:apptools:app:+'
}To start using the library you just need to call PermissionManager with a valid Activity:
public MyActivity extends Activity {
@Override public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
new PermissionManager.Builder(MainActivity.this)
.addPermissions(PermissionRequest.callPermission())
.addRequestPermissionsCallBack(new OnRequestPermissionsCallBack() {
@Override
public void onGrant() {
}
@Override
public void onDenied(String permission) {
}
}).build().request();
}
}For each permission, register a PermissionCallback implementation to receive the state of the request:
new PermissionManager.Builder(MainActivity.this)
.addPermissions(PermissionRequest.callPermission())
.addRequestPermissionsCallBack(new OnRequestPermissionsCallBack() {
@Override
public void onGrant() {
}
@Override
public void onDenied(String permission) {
}
}).build().request();To make your life easier we offer some PermissionListener implementations to perform recurrent actions:
If you want to request multiple permissions you just add to request:
new PermissionManager.Builder(MainActivity.this)
.addPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE})
.addRequestPermissionsCallBack(new OnRequestPermissionsCallBack() {
@Override
public void onGrant() {
}
@Override
public void onDenied(String permission) {
}
}).build().request();The library will notify you when something bad happens. In general, it is a good practice to, at least, log every error AppTools may throw but is up to you, the developer, to do that.
IMPORTANT: Remember to follow the Google design guidelines to make your application as user-friendly as possible.
