A simple, idiomatic permissions API with Kotlin Coroutines.

Declare JitPack as a repository and add a dependency on the library:

repositories {
    maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.gabrielfeo:suspendpermission:1.0.0'
}

Gradle Kotlin DSL example

requestPermissionsAsync can be called from any Activity or Fragment with a set of permissions and a request code, just like the platform's requestPermissions:

suspend fun requestPermissionsForRecording() {
    val camera = Manifest.permission.CAMERA
    val mic = Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO
    try {
        requestPermissionsAsync(arrayOf(camera, mic), 13949)) // suspend
    } catch (exception: PermissionsDeniedException) {
        when {
            camera in exception.permanentlyDeniedPermissions -> // respect the user's decision
            else -> // explain you really need access to the camera
        }
    }
}

Permissions will first be checked and the ones which aren't yet granted will be requested to the user, throwing a PermissionsDeniedException if any is denied. The exception specifies which were permanently denied so that it's easy to decide what to do.

requestPermissionsAsync is available as an extension function on androidx.app.FragmentActivity and androidx.fragment.Fragment.
