Wraps up the entire Android 6 permissions system in a easy to use plugin.

The documentation for the plugin is located in the src folder.
I'm getting this error from ".catch(function(result)" result:

And then comes my permission denied catch console comment.
Same happens on Android N and Android M emulators.
There's no other plugin running at the current view, where I ask these permissions.
I have installed the plugin using the command:
$ tns plugin add @master.technology/permissions
And used it as follow:
permissions
.requestPermission(
permissions.PERMISSIONS.CAMERA,
"why not the permission"
)
.then(() => {
console.log("Woo Hoo, I have the power!");
})
.catch(() => {
console.log("Uh oh, no permissions - plan B time!");
});To the info.plist I have added the following key:
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Required for make images of documents that need to be uploaded</string>When the code is executed, both functions are not executed, I only get the following block logged to the console:

I am getting this error when building:

Any suggestions on how to resolve this? I commented out the module declaration and was able to move past the problem but is there a better way?
I've been working on a port of https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-diagnostic-plugin to nativescript.

I'm coding on API LEVEL 23, and when adding the android17.d.ts to the references.d.ts file, there's no member Manifest in the android namespace. Is it a problem with the tns-platform-declarations or with this module?
I have android.permission.BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN within my AndroidManifest.xml as per my other permissions but currently I'm unable to request permission for it. There's no "toast" notification to accept/deny as with the other permissions.
The request permissions code is as follows
requestPermission(android.Manifest.permission.BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN, 'needed for kiosk mode').then(function () {
console.log("permission for BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN");
})
.catch(function () {
console.log("no perms for BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN");
});I'm trying to get a permission for android.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE but it always returns {"android.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE":false}.
var permissions = require('nativescript-permissions');
readAccessibility()
.catch(function(error) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(error)); // {"android.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE":false}
});
function readAccessibility() {
permissions.requestPermission(
android.Manifest.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE,
'Need permission to read USSD'
);
}
Additionally, I've <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE" /> under AndroidManifest.xml
Any idea why it does not work?
Hi
I think I have a problem with the plugin. The issue is exactly like #5 .
I am using android 6.0.1 and latest version of your awesome plugin. It used to work perfectly but then i started getting the java permissions error in my main (Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int android.content.Context.checkPermission(java.lang.String, int, int)')
I created brand new test app via "tns create --ng"
My code:
`import {nativeScriptBootstrap} from "nativescript-angular/application";
import {AppComponent} from "./app.component";
var permissions = require("nativescript-permissions");
declare var android;
permissions.requestPermission(android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, "I need these permissions because I'm cool")
.then(function () {
nativeScriptBootstrap(AppComponent);
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.log(err);
});
`
Manifest has the permissions...
demo\platforms\android\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
Thanks for your help
Hey Nathanael,
Our CI patched this plugin and failed during build. Rolling back to 1.3.11 fixed the issue.
Error code:
ERROR in ../node_modules/@master.technology/permissions/permissions.js 67:46

You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently no loaders are configured to process this file. See https://webpack.js.org/concepts#loaders

Hey Nathanael,
I've been getting great use of your plugin, thanks for your hard work on it. Unfortunately since upgrading to 2.2.0 I am now getting an issue with android.Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS
The code below results in this error message: {"android.permission.READ_CONTACTS":false}
let perm = permissions.requestPermission(android.Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS,
'Please click allow to fetch contacts from your phone');
perm.then(() => {
this.getAllContacts();
}, (err) => {
console.log("Error: " + JSON.stringify(err));
})
Let me know if you need any other details, hope this wasn't a silly mistake on my part.
Hey there,
I'm trying to set some sytem settings in my app, and therefore i was hoping to use this plugin to handle the permissions. Unfortunately, when I'm trying to request the permission it simply fails.
I found a solution by manually asking with this code:
if (android.provider.Settings.System.canWrite(application.android.context)) {
// permission granted
} else {
const intent = new android.content.Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_WRITE_SETTINGS);
intent.setData(android.net.Uri.parse("package:" + application.android.foregroundActivity.getPackageName()));
intent.addFlags(android.content.Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
application.android.foregroundActivity.startActivity(intent);
}
Maybe something like this could be added to this plugin?
I have written a plugin that basically acts as a thin wrap around your plugin and adds IOS Permission requesting... (while attempting to keep a consistent API between the two, so some 'vanity' methods have been added)
you can see it here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@spartadigital/nativescript-permissions
we've noticed some strange behaviour from the promises, it seems that they are being fired twice, once when the dialog is opened and once when the permission is granted/rejected, and i believe that the issue is with your plugin
Here is the implementation script
let hasLocationPermissionsI = false;
let hasCameraPermissionsI = false;
let amountOfTimesFired = 0;
console.log('Requesting Location Permissions');
Permissions.requestLocationPermission().then((isLocationEnabled) => {
hasLocationPermissionsI = isLocationEnabled;
console.log('Requesting Camera Permissions');
return Permissions.requestCameraPermission();
}).then((isCameraEnabled: boolean) => {
hasCameraPermissionsI = isCameraEnabled;
return Promise.resolve([hasLocationPermissionsI, hasCameraPermissionsI])
}).then(([hasLocationPermissions, hasCameraPermissions]) => {
console.log(` hasLocationPermission: ${hasLocationPermissions ? 'Yes': 'No'} `);
console.log(` hasCameraPermissions: ${hasCameraPermissions ? 'Yes': 'No'} `);
amountOfTimesFired++;
console.log(`Amount of Times this has been fired: ${amountOfTimesFired}`);
const promises = [];
if (!hasLocationPermissions) {
promises.push(this.dialog.alert('You cannot use this app without location access', 'Access to Location is Required!'));
}
if (!hasCameraPermissions) {
promises.push(this.dialog.alert('Access to the Camera is required to use this application, Please go to your settings and enable Camera Permissions', 'Access to the Camera is Required!'));
}
if (hasLocationPermissions && hasCameraPermissions) {
resolve(true);
} else {
Promise.all(promises).then(() => {
this.store.dispatch(new AuthActions.LogoutAction());
Permissions.openAppSettings();
resolve(false);
});
}
});
which results in the following log

Any Ideas?
I have been trying to figure out how to get permissions into my nativescript app and came across your plugin.
When looking through the source code of it, I see numerous references to an 'android' object. Where is this coming from since 'application' is the only thing that is being imported?
Below is an example of what I mean:
var hasPermission = android.content.pm.PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED == android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(application.android.foregroundActivity, perm);
Does not work with this permission.
I'm very new to Nativescript so i might be wrong.
hasPermission method crashed, and requestPermission does nothing.
Using Android 8.0 on OnePlus 3T
I have this app that tracks user location, so I deny permission the first time it asked me on screen X, then I went to some other screen Y and came back to screen X and it asked for permissions again but after selecting "Deny" this second time it throw an error on this line:
if (typeof promises.granted !== 'function') { return; }
Basically the error says that "promises" is undefined, so it cannot read "granted", does not matter if granted was there or not, promises is undefined...
Using NS 2.3.0 and plugin version 1.2.0
Thanks!
@NathanaelA , nice simple plugin. I put it on the real situation. For example, create a app where the main page require to access the calllog. So i add some code your demo main-view-model.js as
function HelloWorldModel() {
_super.call(this);
var cursor = appModule.android.context.getContentResolver().query(
android.provider.CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI,
null, null, null, null);
if (cursor && cursor.getCount() > 0) {
while (cursor.moveToNext()) { }
cursor.close();
}
this.set("message", "Click to see if I have permissions!");
}
Now, I want to settle to the permission before go to main page. So I think i should request on app.ts.
var application = require("application");
var permissions = require("nativescript-permissions");
console.log("Requested permissions:", [
android.Manifest.permission.CAMERA,
android.Manifest.permission.READ_CALL_LOG,
android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
android.Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE]
);
permissions.requestPermission([
android.Manifest.permission.CAMERA,
android.Manifest.permission.READ_CALL_LOG,
android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
android.Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE],
"I really need all the permissions in the world!")
.then(function (result) {
console.log("WooHoo you granted me all the permissions!");
application.start({ moduleName: "main-page" });
})
.catch(function (result) {
var count = 0;
console.dump(result);
for (var res in result) {
if (!result.hasOwnProperty(res)) { continue; }
if (result[res] === true) { count++; }
}
console.log("Oops, I'm so sad, I was only granted " + count + " of 4 permissions!");
});
However, I got below exception
JS: Requested permissions: android.permission.CAMERA,android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG,android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
JS: === dump(): dumping members ===
JS: {
JS: "nativeException": {
JS: "constructor": "constructor()function () { [native code] }"
JS: }
JS: }
JS: === dump(): dumping function and properties names ===
JS: === dump(): finished ===
I got 2 questions.
#1. In above situation, is it too early to invoke requestPermission? Where is the early places to invoke requestPermission before goes to main screen.
#2. Let's say if I register application.uncaughtErrorEvent, once the permission throw exception, the uncaughtErrorEvent catch above permission deny but how we could invoke requestPermission again and navigate back to main page.
When I try permissions.hasPermission, this error happens
An uncaught Exception occurred on "main" thread.

I have started a new project using the tns for an angular project, and I have copied your example code almost verbatim, but when I go to request the permission, it automatically fails without prompting the user at all. Here goes the code:
In app.component.ts:
import {Component, OnInit} from "@angular/core";
var permissions = require('nativescript-permissions');
declare var android: any;
@Component({
selector: "my-app",
templateUrl: "app.component.html",
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
ngOnInit() {
}
public counter: number = 16;
public get message(): string {
if (this.counter > 0) {
return this.counter + " taps left";
} else {
return "Hoorraaay! \nYou are ready to start building!";
}
}
public onTap() {
this.counter--;
this.handleRequestForPermissions();
}
public handleRequestForPermissions() {
permissions.requestPermission(android.Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS, "I need these permissions because I'm cool")
.then(function () {
console.log("Woo Hoo, I have the power!");
})
.catch(function (e) {
console.log("Uh oh, no permissions - plan B time!",JSON.stringify(e) );
});
}
}
And in my android manifest file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="__PACKAGE__"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">

</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="com.tns.ErrorReportActivity"/>
</application>
</manifest>
The error message:
JS: Uh oh, no permissions - plan B time! {"android.permission.READ_CONTACTS":false}
Am I missing something obvious here?
HI i encountered problem while testing in my physical device with os version android 10
Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: permission is null
I'm asking for permission READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE to get imei of device
Hi Nathaneal,
We used most of your plugins more than 25 in our app , all are useful ,but beyond that we need some plugins for app to app permissions to fetch data from their apps like (Fitbit,Garmin) to our app ,but we achieved for one device named as googlefit(Apple Healthkit) and got a output successfully, in the same way we are looking for fitbit,garmin and some devices,,can you have any idea on how to do this??
Note:
how can a plugin can be written by own ?? for our business logic needs can we write a own plugin??is it achievable
This must be something obvious, but I don't know what to do. I have added platform references per NS documentation and android.Manifest isn't defined there. What do you use?
I am trying to use this plugin along with the nativescript-contacts one to hack together a quick proof of concept. Currently the contants plugin fails with a permission error on Android 7.1 but works on 4.4, hence my interest in the permissions plugin.
import { Observable } from 'data/observable';
var app = require("application");
var contacts = require("nativescript-contacts");
var permissions = require("nativescript-permissions");
export class HelloWorldModel extends Observable {
// tap first
onTap2() {
permissions.requestPermission(android.Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS, "I need these permissions because I'm cool")
.then(function () {
console.log("Woo Hoo, I have the power!");
})
.catch(function () {
console.log("Uh oh, no permissions - plan B time!");
});
}
// tap second
public onTap() {
contacts.getContact().then(function (args) {
/// Returns args:
/// args.data: Generic cross platform JSON object
/// args.reponse: "selected" or "cancelled" depending on wheter the user selected a contact.
console.log('args.response ' + args.response);
if (args.response === "selected") {
var contact = args.data; //See data structure below
// lets say you wanted to grab first name and last name
console.log(contact.name.given + " " + contact.name.family);
//lets say you want to get the phone numbers
contact.phoneNumbers.forEach(function (phone) {
console.log(phone.value);
});
//lets say you want to get the addresses
contact.postalAddresses.forEach(function (address) {
console.log(address.location.street);
});
}
});
}
}

I'm trying to request permission for com.google.android.gms.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION but when I write this

I get the error: Cannot read property ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION of undefined

The line 49 is using promises which seems to be undefined. Here is the incriminated function:
application.android.on(application.AndroidApplication.activityRequestPermissionsEvent, function(args) {
// get current promise set
var promises = pendingPromises[args.requestCode];
// Delete it
delete pendingPromises[args.requestCode];
// Check the status of the permission
if (args.grantResults.length > 0) {
if (args.grantResults[0] === android.content.pm.PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
promises.granted();
return;
}
}
promises.failed();
});
Why is promises undefined ?
I'm using the plugin exactly as the README suggests it.
Would be nice to have typescript support for this plugin
We have a problem where we can't request any permissions on Android because all we get are "no v4 support" errors every time you try, there is not even a popup where you can confirm/deny access. This goes for location, phone access, you name it.
This happened without using this plugin so we thought we'd use this plugin to fix it, however the issue remains.
We are doing this:
declare var android: any;
import { requestPermission } from 'nativescript-permissions';
...
myFn() {
requestPermission(android.Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE, "I need these permissions because I'm cool").then(() => console.log('success')).catch((e) => console.log(e));
}
Another strange thing here is that success is being logged despite the fact that there is an error occurring when requesting permission.
What should we do to fix this?
Hi,
on the latest version, I'm facing the issue android is not defined when I want to bundle a release version that I've trailed down to this specific line
Tried to add guard clause on android property, but not working either
if (!android || !android.support || !android.support.v4
I've search for a couple of days to fix that, any idea why it's happening?
If I require the plugin at the top of my js file, then it would crash on ios, basically saying that "android" is not found or undefined, line 17
// If this isn't a Android platform we will exit and do nothing.
if (!android) {
return;
}
But instead it crashes.
Nice plugin!
Thanks
There is a mechanism for requesting multiple permissions simultaneously, [#requestPermissions](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/ActivityCompat.html#requestPermissions%28android.app.Activity, java.lang.String[], int%29), in addition to the singular #requestPermission.
This allows one to request, for example, both ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION simultaneously.
For some reason, android.Manifest does not exist. I'm testing like so:
var permissions = require("nativescript-permissions");
console.log(JSON.stringify(android.Manifest));
permissions.requestPermission(android.Manifest.permission.CAMERA, "I need access to your camera!")
.then(function() {
console.log("Woo Hoo, I have the power!");
//todo - enable button
})
.catch(function() {
console.log("Uh oh, no permissions - plan B time!");
});
And I never get the request. This is in ngOnInit.
I was thinking, for cross-platform compatibility, instead of
if (!global.android) {
return;
}maybe just return true for iOS?
function hasPermission(perm) {
if (!hasSupportVersion4()) return true;
if (!global.android) return true;
var hasPermission = android.content.pm.PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED ==
android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(application.android.foregroundActivity, perm);
return (hasPermission);
}Thoughts?
I just saw this issue, #7
This plugin doesn't seem to be working for me since we upgraded to NS 3.0. I never see the popups and it defaults to catch function automatically.
permissions.hasPermission(android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS) returns always false even if the permission was granted before
Hi there!
Wanted to know whether your plugin will still be working fine if I add the flag of 'markingMode' set to 'none' in package.json file, as mentioned in one of the blogs of NativeScript release?
Here is the link of the blog where the reference is made for the same: https://www.nativescript.org/blog/announcing-the-release-of-nativescript-3.2
Looking forward to an early reply. Thank you!
Hello, I'm trying to use videorecorder plugin which has your dependency.
I tracked down the issue that the permissions are not being granted and catching error
I made sure that in the Manifest I gave all the permissions needed but when I'm logging out the error this is what I'm getting
JS: === dump(): dumping members ===
JS: {
JS: "nativeException": {
JS: "constructor": "constructor()function () { [native code] }"
JS: }
JS: }
JS: === dump(): dumping function and properties names ===
JS: === dump(): finished ===
JS: Oops, I'm so sad, I was only granted 0 of 4 permissions!
JS: === dump(): dumping members ===
JS: {
JS: "event": "camera permission needed"
JS: }
JS: === dump(): dumping function and properties names ===
JS: === dump(): finished ===Do you think we can fix this issue?
It does not work properly. thanks～
