Foster user trust by adopting privacy-respecting permission workflows
summary
Android recommends requesting permissions at the moment a feature is used, showing 2x more likely to deny unexpected requests if asked earlier, and prefers coarse vs fine location when exact tracking isn’t required. Concrete tools include shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale for explaining requests, the revokeSelfPermissionOnKillAPI to drop temporary grants, the Data Access Audit APIs to find who accessed sensitive data, and using intents like action image capture instead of directly requesting camera permission.
