Muiu special permissions?

[busslina]

Is there already an issue requesting this feature?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues.

Please select affected platform(s)

• [X] Android
• [ ] iOS
• [ ] Windows

Use case

In my Xiaomi device there is couple of permissions that I don't know if can be handled programmatically.

Translated are:

• Show on the lock screen
• Show popup windows while executing in background.

Motivation: I thought that acquiring "System Alert Window" permission was enough to start my foreground service from the backgroud (using Alarm Manager). But in this new phone it seems that this other two permissions are mandatory in order to do that. I don't know if these permissions are Android wide or Xiaomi (Muiu) exclusive. Also I'm wondering if I can get these permissions using this library.

Thank you

Hi @busslina, thank you for filing this feature request!

The plugin does not currently support this. I looked around and found out that this is certainly possible to add in the future.

@beebobox the feature is on the lower end of our priority list right now. You can thumb up the original post. We use this to check the demand for features, which influences our prioritization.

We also encourage the community to pick up issues and create a PR. If you have knowledge of Java, we would be happy to assist in your first contribution to the repository!

Wanted to let you know that we are working on a major refactor of the permission handler plugin. In the new version, we can support Android-only features more easily. What's more, users will be able to write Android-like code in Dart, allowing them to implement features that are not (yet) directly supported by our plugin.

This ticket would suit that scenario very well, as this might not be something we want to support directly, as it is quite specific to MIUI. We would expose all the Android-native classes and functions you need to Dart so you can build the functionality yourself, without having to dig into Java code, method-channels and whatnot.
