My phone just offered to upgrade to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. This looks like a good thing: "With the new app permissions model, you pick and choose which permissions to grant apps at the time of use." -- http://officialandroid.blogspot.com/2015/10/get-ready-for-sweet-taste-of-android-60.html But this looks like a big missed opportunity: "To determine if your app has been granted a permission, call the new checkSelfPermission() method." -- https://developer.android.com/about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0-changes.html Are there good examples of APIs and user interfaces for this stuff? Did CapDesk get it right? -- Dan Connolly http://www.madmode.com/
