PermissionsAndroid request - missing dismiss button for initial dialog (or custom buttons)

[MarkOSullivan94]

• I have reviewed the documentation
• I have searched existing issues
• I am using the latest React Native version

I seen this had already been reported #13920 but had been closed so reopening this.

The dialog produced when requesting permissions isn't user friendly. There's no option to dismiss the dialog and so may seem confusing to the users.

An quick fix would be to include a dismiss button automatically but an additional field along with 'title' and 'message' called 'button' would be great for having custom text in the button.

Environment

Environment:
OS: Linux 4.4
Node: 9.4.0
Yarn: Not Found
npm: 5.8.0
Watchman: Not Found
Xcode: N/A
Android Studio: Not Found

Packages: (wanted => installed)
react: ^16.0.0-beta.5 => 16.0.0-beta.5
react-native: ^0.50.4 => 0.50.4

Steps to Reproduce

Add the following function to your project and call it.

async function requestPermission() {
	if (Platform.OS === "ios") {
		return true;
	}

	try {
		const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
			PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
			{
				title: "Enable Permission",
				message:
					"Message here"
			}
		);
		switch (granted) {
			case PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED:
				return true;
			case PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.DENIED:
				return false;
			case PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.NEVER_ASK_AGAIN:
				await doAlert(neverAskAgainTitle, neverAskAgainMessage);
				return false;
		}
	} catch (e) {
		console.log(e);

		// fall through
	}
	return false;
}

Expected Behavior

Expected the dialog to include a dismiss button so they can get to the actual permission dialog.

Actual Behavior

Dialog produced shown below.

It looks like your issue may refer to an older version of React Native. Can you reproduce the issue on the latest release, v0.55?

[MarkOSullivan94]

I assume this is still the case in 0.55 as there's nothing been updated in the docs to suggest otherwise.

[react-native-bot]

Can you reliably confirm that this is still an issue in 0.55.4 (stable) or 0.56.0-rc (release candidate)?

[MarkOSullivan94]

Yes.

[react-native-bot]

I am closing this issue because it does not appear to have been verified on the latest release, and there has been no followup in a while.
