Requesting Android run-time permissions using try and catch

Question

I am wondering would it make sense to use Java's try and catch statements to request user app permissions, if we get SecurityException?

Rough example would be:

int hasReadExternalStoragePermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this,
        Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
if (hasReadExternalStoragePermission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    if (!ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(
            MainActivity.this,
            Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
                // inform user
            }
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this,
            new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
            REQUEST_CODE_READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE_OPEN_PROJECT);
    return;
}
myFunction();

versus

try {
    myFunction();
} catch (SecurityException) {
       ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
                 MainActivity.this,
                 new String[] {Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
                 REQUEST_CODE);
       return;
}

Pros and cons for both approaches?

Answer 1

Some thoughts on unchecked exceptions: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/exceptions/runtime.html

Recalling that SecurityException is a runtime exception, I emphasize this part:

Runtime exceptions represent problems that are the result of a programming problem, (...)

So I understand that requesting permission after a thrown SecurityException means that the program has a problem of not checking whether the app has some specific permission before calling an operation. I particularly avoid developing problematic programs.

Nonetheless, both codes will work the same.
