flutter_permission_handler_plus #

A wrapper around the standard permission_handler package that provides built-in rationale dialogs, automatic app settings redirects, automatic retry loops, and clean batch request handling.

Features #

• Automatic Rationale Dialogs: Prompts users with configurable reasons why a permission is needed.
• Auto Redirect to Settings: Prompts the user to navigate to system settings if a permission is permanently denied.
• Robust Batch Requesting: Requests multiple permissions sequentially to prevent platform locks.
• Status Cache: Optional status caching to minimize redundant native platform calls.

Installation #

Add the dependency to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  flutter_permission_handler_plus: ^0.1.1

Then run:

flutter pub get

Platform Setup #

Android #

Add the required permissions to your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

iOS #

Add descriptions for the permissions your app uses in ios/Runner/Info.plist:

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app requires camera access to take photos.</string>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app requires microphone access to record audio.</string>

Usage #

Request a Permission #

Request a single permission with default auto-rationale and settings redirect behavior:

import 'package:flutter_permission_handler_plus/flutter_permission_handler_plus.dart';

final status = await PermissionHandlerPlus.instance.requestPermission(
  PermissionType.camera,
);

if (status.isGranted) {
  // Permission granted
} else if (status.isPermanentlyDenied) {
  // Permanently denied (user rejected and settings redirect is disabled/canceled)
}

Custom Configuration #

Configure custom rationale messages, dialog titles, settings redirection, and retry limits:

final config = PermissionConfig(
  rationale: 'We need camera access to set your profile picture.',
  rationaleTitle: 'Camera Access Required',
  enableAutoRationale: true,
  enableSettingsRedirect: true,
  settingsRedirectMessage: 'Please grant camera access in settings to upload a photo.',
  retryCount: 2,
);

final status = await PermissionHandlerPlus.instance.requestPermission(
  PermissionType.camera,
  config: config,
);

Request Multiple Permissions #

Request multiple permissions with specific configurations in a single sequential flow:

final permissions = {
  PermissionType.camera: PermissionConfig(
    rationale: 'Camera access for scanning QR codes.',
  ),
  PermissionType.locationWhenInUse: PermissionConfig(
    rationale: 'Location access to find nearby stores.',
  ),
};

final results = await PermissionHandlerPlus.instance.requestPermissions(permissions);

results.forEach((permission, status) {
  print('${permission.displayName}: ${status.description}');
});

Check Status Without Prompting #

// Check a single permission status
final status = await PermissionHandlerPlus.instance.checkPermissionStatus(
  PermissionType.camera,
);

// Clear cached statuses if status caching is enabled
PermissionHandlerPlus.instance.clearCache();
