RxPermission

This library wraps the Android Runtime Permissions with RxJava 2. It's based on the RxPermissions library and was adjusted with simplicity in mind. Here are a few things that are different:

• API is really small and focused
• Uses a shadowing Activity to request the permission which allows you to use the library within Services, Broadcastreceiver etc.
• Supports the 'Never ask again' case

Usage

The core functionality is provided via an interface:

public interface RxPermission {
  /** Requests a single permission. */
  Single<Permission> request(String permission);

  /** Requests multiple permissions. */
  Observable<Permission> requestEach(String... permissions);

  /** Returns true when the given permission is granted. */
  boolean isGranted(String permission);

  /** Returns true when the given permission is revoked by a policy. */
  boolean isRevokedByPolicy(String permission);
}

And the Permission class:

public class Permission {
  /** The name of the permission. For instance android.permission.CAMERA */
  @NonNull public String name();

  /** The state of the permission. */
  @NonNull public State state();

  public enum State {
    /** Permission has been granted. */
    GRANTED,

    /** Permission has been denied. */
    DENIED,

    /**
     * Permission is denied.
     * Previously the requested permission was denied and never ask again was selected.
     * This means that the user hasn't seen the permission dialog.
     * The only way to let the user grant the permission is via the settings now.
     */
    DENIED_NOT_SHOWN,

    /** Permission has been revoked by a policy. */
    REVOKED_BY_POLICY
  }
}

Production

For your Android application you can get an instance of the interface via RealRxPermission.getInstance(application) and then simply use the above mentioned methods to your needs.

RealRxPermission.getInstance(application)
    .request(Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
    .subscribe();

Testing

In addition the library offers you a MockRxPermission that can be used for testing. The constructor takes a vararg of Permissions.

new MockRxPermission(Permission.denied(Manifest.permission.CAMERA))
    .request(Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
    .test()
    .assertResult(Permission.denied(Manifest.permission.CAMERA));

The Permission class provides you a few static factory methods:

/** This will create a granted Camera Permission instance. */
Permission.granted(Manifest.permission.CAMERA)

/** This will create a denied Camera Permission instance. */
Permission.denied(Manifest.permission.CAMERA)

/** This will create a denied not shown Camera Permission instance. */
Permission.deniedNotShown(Manifest.permission.CAMERA)

/** This will create a revoked by policy Camera Permission instance. */
Permission.revokedByPolicy(Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
