Problem:
I have an existing app that I would like to implement Android 6.0's Runtime Permissions on. I have read a lot of different things on Runtime Permissions, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around all the different snippets. Nothing I have found actually shows how to implement this into an existing Activity.
Other Points
When I run my existing application targeting SDK v23 I get the permission error as expected, but the permission error I get is not even a permission that I am requesting. I have the SEND_SMS permission in the Manifest file, but the error I am getting is for READ_SMS. My app runs fine on pre 6.0 without READ_SMS.
I would like the my app to ask for permission as soon as the app is launched because the sole purpose of the app is the send an SMS message, so without that permission there is no other use for the app.
Questions:
How would I implement Runtime Permissions for SEND_SMS into my existing Activity as soon as the app is launched?
Does the handling of these permission need to run in a background thread?
Do I also need permissions for READ_SMS since that is the permission error that it is giving (even though that permission has never been used on my app)?
