PermissionsDispatcher is an annotation-based library for handling Android runtime permissions in Kotlin and Java. It generates boilerplate-free permission-checking code at compile time, with full support for rationale, denial, and 'never ask again' flows.

Use cases

• handle android runtime permissions without boilerplate
• request camera permission in an activity
• show a rationale dialog before asking for permissions
• handle denied and never-ask-again permission states
• use runtime permissions in a fragment with kotlin
• avoid reflection when checking permission grants

When to choose

• you want a mature, reflection-free, annotation-processor-based permission library for Android
• you need both Kotlin and Java support in the same codebase
• you need fine-grained callbacks for rationale, denial, and never-ask-again flows

When to avoid

• you are starting a new project and prefer the modern Jetpack ActivityResult API
• your project does not use annotation processing (kapt/apt)
• you need permissions handling outside Android activities or fragments
