Can you request permissions synchronously in Android Marshmallow (API 23)'s runtime permissions model?

Question

Say you have a method like this:

public boolean saveFile (Url url, String content) {

   // save the file, this can be done a lot of different ways, but
   // ba         


        

Answer 1

Short answer: no, there isn't any sync operation today. You have to check if you have the right permission before to complete the operation or as last option, you could put a try/catch block for the security exception. In the catch block you can inform the user that the operation failed due to permission problems. In addition, there is another point: when a permission is revoked the app doesn't restart from main activity, so you have to check for permission even in your onResume().
