Android Runtime permission in Cordova 3.6 App

Question

How to implement android runtime permissions in app that is using cordova 3.5

Answer 1

Android Runtime permission introduced from Android 6.0 (API level 23). It has no relation with cordova version.

In MainActivity.java of your Android platform, add this code after loadUrl(launchUrl);

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23)
{
    // Sample request for user permission runtime */
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this,
            new String[] {                      
                    android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
            },
            100);        
}  

If you are working on android studio it will automatically import necessary packages like:

import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat;
