Dexter is an Android library that simplifies requesting runtime permissions on Android Marshmallow and above, decoupling permission logic from activities via listener-based APIs. It offers helpers like dialogs and snackbars for denied permission responses.
Use cases
- request android permissions at runtime
- simplify marshmallow permission handling
- ask for camera permission in android app
- show dialog when user denies a permission
- request multiple permissions with callbacks
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android app already using Dexter
- you need a simple listener-based permission API on old Android support levels
When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - the project is no longer under active development
- you want modern permission APIs like ActivityResultContracts
- you need long-term support or updates
