## What it is
An Android library that simplifies requesting runtime permissions by presenting an educational intro-style UI explaining why each permission is needed. It provides a customizable BasePermissionActivity with per-screen theming and automatic handling of special permissions like SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW.

## Use cases
- request android runtime permissions with explanation screens
- show permission onboarding intro before asking user
- handle SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission automatically
- customize permission request ui colors fonts and icons
- explain to users why my app needs permissions

## When to choose
- building an Android app that needs runtime permissions with an educational intro flow
- wanting a pre-built, customizable permission explanation UI instead of writing dialogs from scratch

## When to avoid
- starting a new project today, since the library has not been updated since 2018
- using Kotlin-first or Jetpack Compose permission handling approaches
- needing only a minimal permission request without intro screens

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, mobile-framework
- domain: android-tools, mobile-development, developer-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: android, runtime-permissions, onboarding-ui, intro-screens, java, mobile
