How do I handle runtime permissions in React Native for Android?

To handle runtime permissions in React Native for Android, you can use the PermissionsAndroid API.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import { PermissionsAndroid } from 'react-native';

async function requestCameraPermission() {
  try {
    const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
      PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.CAMERA,
      {
        title: 'Camera Permission',
        message: 'This app needs access to your camera.',
        buttonNeutral: 'Ask Me Later',
        buttonNegative: 'Cancel',
        buttonPositive: 'OK',
      },
    );
    if (granted === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
      console.log('You can use the camera');
    } else {
      console.log('Camera permission denied');
    }
  } catch (err) {
    console.warn(err);
  }
}

What if the user denies the permission?

If the user denies the permission, you should handle it gracefully by informing them that the feature won't work without the permission.
