How do I request permission for Android Device Location in React Native at run-time?

Question

I have been trying to use React Native \'s GeoLocalisation for an Android App. The poorly documentated module is found here https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/geol

You can ask location permission using following code

try {
     const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
       PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
     )
     if (granted === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
       alert("You can use the location")
     } else {
       alert("Location permission denied")
     }
   } catch (err) {
     console.warn(err)
   }
   alert('hi');
