This library allows the usage of RxJava with the new Android M permission model. If you need to trigger the permission request from a specific event, you need to setup your event as an observable inside an initialization phase. You can use JakeWharton/RxBinding to turn your view to an observable (not included in the library). Because your app may be restarted during the permission request, the request must be done during an initialization phase. This may be Activity.onCreate, or View.onFinishInflate, but not pausing methods like onResume, because you'll potentially create an infinite request loop, as your requesting activity is paused by the framework during the permission request. If not, and if your app is restarted during the permission request (because of a configuration change for instance), the user's answer will never be emitted to the subscriber.
Features
- Avoid worrying about the framework version
- Android runtime permissions powered by RxJava2
- If the sdk is pre-M, the observer will automatically receive a granted result
- Prevents you to split your code between the permission request and the result handling
- All what RX provides about transformation, filter, chaining, etc.
