What it is

AndPermission is an Android runtime permissions manager (API 14+) that wraps Android's permission request flow with a fluent API, supporting both standard runtime permissions (storage, camera, location) and special permissions (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW, WRITE_SETTINGS, REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES). It provides callbacks for granted/denied states and handles permission rationale dialogs transparently through a bridge activity/service pattern. Single-module monorepo: permission/src/main/java contains the core (AndPermission.java entry point, Boot.java initialization, RequestExecutor.java request handler). The bridge/ package wraps requests via BridgeActivity and BridgeService for API <23…

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/yanzhenjie/AndPermission.git
cd AndPermission
./gradlew build

Daily commands:

This is a library (not an app). To test: ./gradlew permission:build builds the AAR. To integrate: add implementation 'com.yanzhenjie:permission:2.0.3' to your app's build.gradle, then call `AndPermission.with(activi…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 2y ago
• Single-maintainer risk — top contributor 82% of recent commits
• BridgeActivity must be in AndroidManifest.xml: forgetting to merge manifests from the AAR will cause permission requests to crash silently. PermissionTest checkers are permission-specific: e.g.,…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
