Android Permissions Activity Results

Name: android-permissions-activity-results
Author: krutikjain

When To Use

Use this skill when the request is about: android permission request flow, activity result api android, camera permission in android app.
Primary outcome: Use modern permission requests, Activity Result APIs, and capability-gated UX in Android flows.
Read references/patterns.md when you need the picker-vs-permission matrix or API-level behavior checklist.
Read references/scenarios.md for photo picker, notification permission, and limited media access examples.
Handoff skills when the scope expands:
android-media-files-sharing
android-testing-ui

Workflow

Start with the capability the user needs, not the permission name: photo picker, document picker, camera capture, or notification opt-in often avoids broader runtime permissions.
Choose the right Activity Result contract and keep the launcher in a stable lifecycle owner such as an activity, fragment, or remembered Compose launcher.
Model the full permission state space explicitly: granted, denied, permanently denied, limited/selected access, one-time access, and settings-based recovery.
Account for API-level differences such as POST_NOTIFICATIONS on Android 13+, approximate vs precise location, background location as a separate flow, and Android 14 selected-photos access.
Re-check capability on return from settings or picker flows, then validate rotation, process death, and denial recovery instead of assuming the happy path.

Guardrails

Treat loading, empty, error, offline, and permission-denied states as first-class UI states.
Do not launch permission or picker contracts directly from composition without a user action or explicit side effect.
Prefer the narrowest capability surface available, such as Photo Picker or SAF, over broad storage permissions.
Keep permission recovery testable: rationale, settings redirect, denied state, and post-return revalidation.

Anti-Patterns

Assuming the happy path is enough for product flows.
Repeatedly re-prompting after denial instead of offering a clear settings or alternate-path recovery.
Requesting media or storage access when the Photo Picker or document contracts are enough.
Treating Android 14 selected-photos access as full media-library access.

Review Focus

Can the feature use a picker or contract instead of a runtime permission?
Does the flow handle denial, limited access, and return-from-settings correctly?
Are permission launches owned by the right lifecycle scope and initiated at the right time?
Are platform-specific behaviors called out for Android 13+ and Android 14+ where relevant?

Examples

Happy path

Scenario: Find the repo's Activity Result and permission surfaces before proposing a flow change.
Command: rg -n "rememberLauncherForActivityResult|RequestPermission|RequestMultiplePermissions|PickVisualMedia|OpenDocument|TakePicture" examples

Edge case

Scenario: Review notification and media access paths for API-level-specific behavior.
Command: rg -n "POST_NOTIFICATIONS|READ_MEDIA_|READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE|PickVisualMedia" examples

Failure recovery

Scenario: Differentiate permission prompts from media-sharing and testing requests.
Command: python3 scripts/eval_triggers.py --skill android-permissions-activity-results

Done Checklist

The chosen contract or picker is narrower than a broad permission where possible.
Denied, permanently denied, limited, and settings-return states are all modeled.
API-level differences are called out for the affected Android versions.
Recovery UI and observability are explicit instead of implied.
