1410980 - No easy way to find out which permissions exactly have been denied

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Jan Henning [:JanH]]

When requesting multiple permissions in one go, it's currently not (easily?) possible to find out which permissions were really denied in the "andFallback" case.

Is this needed for another bug right now?

Comment 2

Potentially a follow-up of bug 1362919, so we can include the Image/Video capture options in the file picker depending on whether the permission was granted or not.

I think there still isn't anything that *really* needs this [1], but if we ever want to implement this I think one way would be to introduce a new callback (in addition to "run" and "andFallback") that uses a custom Runnable class which gets passed a list of which permissions where exactly granted respectively denied.

[1] The only benefit that I can think of would be that the file picker could allow recording a video if the camera permission was granted but the external storage permission wasn't.
