Handling Denials and Rationale
Explain why you need a permission.
Handling Denials
Users can deny a permission, and they can deny it permanently. A polished app handles all states gracefully: granted, denied once, and denied with "don't ask again".
Three Possible States
After a request you may be in one of three states:
- Granted: proceed with the feature
- Denied (can ask again): explain and re-request
- Permanently denied: the dialog no longer appears; guide the user to Settings
