Implement ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale()?

[QuickBrownFoxy]

Can ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale() be implemented for cases where user denies permission in first attempt?

See http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/ActivityCompat.html#shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(android.app.Activity, java.lang.String)

Yes, planning on implementing this

You can check for PermissionRationale before using Grant. That way you can decide to show the snackbar or not. I put the following code in my Utility class for that:

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
    public static void requestPermissions(String permission, Activity activity, String rationalMessage, PlickPermissionAction action){
        if(ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(activity, permission)) {
            ErrorHandler.raiseSnackbar(rationalMessage, Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE, v ->{
                PermissionsManager.getInstance().requestPermissionsIfNecessaryForResult(activity,
                        new String[]{permission}, action);
            });
        }
        else{
            PermissionsManager.getInstance().requestPermissionsIfNecessaryForResult(activity,
                    new String[]{permission}, action);
        }
    }
