Question How to allow android permissions on plugins

Hi,
I have created an android plugin (which includes a background service) which all works fine, but I want the service to scan and connect to Bluetooth LE beacons. This is fine, I implement the code to do it but when it comes to running it, there are two permissions it needs:

• BLUETOOTH_SCAN
• BLUETOOTH_CONNECT

But I cant work out how to enable these permissions... I have added them to both manifest files (the Unity project and the Android Plugin (Im not entirely sure what the difference is or which one is needed)) and I have tried using

UnityEngine.Android.Permission.RequestUserPermissions(permissions);

to request the permissions. This worked with the background location permission, but I cant get it to work with the Bluetooth permissions... and Im not sure how to do it.

Also will granting those permissions in Unity give those permissions to the plugin? or should I really be implementing the permission requests from the plugin side?

Thanks for any help!

 

I have also tried:

Code (CSharp):

1.         String[] perms= new String[1];
2.         perms[0]=Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN;
3.  
4.         if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(myActivity, perms[0])
5.                 != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
6.             ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(myActivity,
7.                     perms,
8.                     1);

In the plugin but that seems to do nothing...

 

Did you find any solution?

 

Bump as well!

 

Im afraid I gave up and just made the application completely natively... I hope you are able to find a workaround

 

Hi, I am working on something similar, how did you request the background location permission using UnityEngine.Android.Permission.RequestUserPermissions(permissions)? it looks like it only supports fine/coarse location permissions rather than the separate background location permissions. Any help with this would be great!
