How to request run-time recording permission on Android 6.0?

Question

Since Android 6.0, we need to request permissions during app runtime.

In my app, i\'m using local storage, camera, geolocation and audio recording permissions.

You need the ti.permissions module and a recompiled version of TiSDK :

• Go under your Titanium SDK directory eg: /Users/[YOUR USER]/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/
• Duplicate the 5.2.0.GA directory and rename it as 5.2.0.WhatYouWant
• Go under android subdir and replace titanium.jar with this jar : https://github.com/AppWerft/Tierstimmenarchiv/blob/master/modules/android/titanium.jar
• After that in your project, inside the tiapp.xml replace <sdk-version>5.2.0.GA</sdk-version> with your new named SDK (5.2.0.WhatYouWant) don't forget to insert <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"/> inside the tiapp.xml under the <android .... > node

and after that, you can request storage permission with this snippet:

if (!require('ti.permissions').hasPermission('android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO'))
require('ti.permissions').requestPermissions(['android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO'], function(e) {
    if (e.success != 0)
        Ti.API.debug("Permissions OK");
    else
        Ti.API.warn("Permissions denied");
});
