Activity Recognition Running permissions in android 6.0

I'm trying to implement activity recognition so it will support api 23. I've followed the running permissions guide from here :

https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/permissions.html#normal-dangerous

And i cant find if activity recognition is classified as dangerous permission or normal?

Even in google's activity recognition sample they dont target api 23 : https://github.com/googlesamples/android-play-location/tree/master/ActivityRecognition

is it possible that activity recoognition is not supported in android 6.0?

Solution

  • I use this permission in my app and it doesn't require any extra effort on Android 6, you can use it without any problem, it's not "dangerous".
