Android Runtime Permissions Rationale Dialog Positive | Negative Buttons

[okarakose]

Description

We have runtime permissions in our application like almost all applications.
When user denies permission, need to explain "Why we need this permission" in rationale dialog. Title and Message can add but positive and negative buttons can not add for Android AlertDialog. Actually, it is not using AlertDialog for android platform.

From react-native documentation for PermissionsAndroid

https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/permissionsandroid.html

there are mentioned about Title and Message but nothing about Positive & Negative buttons.

Reproduction Steps and Sample Code

Example Code

import { PermissionsAndroid } from 'react-native';

export const RequestAndroidPermission = (permission,rationale) => {

    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {

        PermissionsAndroid.check(permission)
            .then(grantedPreviously => {
                if (grantedPreviously) {
                    resolve()
                } else  {
                    PermissionsAndroid.request(permission, rationale)
                        .then(granted => {
                            if (granted === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
                                resolve()
                            } else {
                                reject()
                            }
                        }).catch( e => reject(e))
                }
            }).catch(e => reject(e))

    })

}

const locationPermissionType = PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
const locationPermissionRationale = {
    title: "Location Access",
    message: 'Need for detect your location to select location nearby you easily'
    // how to create Positive and Negative alert dialog button here ?
}
export const RequestAndroidLocationPermission = () => RequestAndroidPermission(locationPermissionType,locationPermissionRationale)

Solution

I tried to follow the code flow, it is passing over android Dialog but I could not see the code which is called from.

Hi,
You have to pass buttonPositive, buttonNegative, buttonNeutral params with the rational object.

const locationPermissionRationale = {
    title: "Location Access",
    message: 'Need for detect your location to select location nearby you easily'
    // how to create Positive and Negative alert dialog button here ?
    buttonNeutral: "Ask Me Later",
    buttonNegative:"Cancel",
    buttonPositive: "OK"
}
