60This sample shows runtime permissions available in Android M and above.
61It shows how to check and request permissions at runtime, handle backwards compatibility using the
62support library and how to declare optional permissions for M-devices only.

68Android M introduced runtime permissions. Applications targeting M and above need to request their
69permissions at runtime.
70All permissions still need to be declared in the AndroidManifest. However, when accessing APIs that
71require a permission, the Activity or Fragment has to verify that the permission has been granted
72or request the missing permissions using calls through the support library. Permissions are checked
73through  ActivityCompat#checkSelfPermission(Context, String) or
74ContextCompat#checkSelfPermission(Context, String).
75Permission are requested through ActivityCompat#requestPermissions(Activity, String[], int), and the response
76received in a callback to  ActivityCompat.OnRequestPermissionsResultCallback#onRequestPermissionsResult(int, String[], int[]).
77Applications can provide an additional rational for the use of permissions after calling
78ActivityCompat#shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(Activity,String). This call will return true if the
79application should provide the user with more context on why the requested permissions is needed,
80for example if the permission request has been denied before.
81
82If an application targets an SDK below M, all permissions are granted at runtime and are available
83when the application is running. The support library calls handle these checks appropriately.
84However, if permissions have been turned off in the system settings
85for an application targeting an SDK below M, the API will return empty or no data.
