About granting permission above Marshmallow

Question

I have read something about permissions in "https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/declaring.html".

In there i have seen "Depending on how sensitive the permission is, the system might grant the permission automatically, or the device user might have to grant the request."

For example,

if your app requests permission to turn on the device's flashlight, the system grants that permission automatically.

My question is that for accessing the flashlight we have request the camera permission first. So why is it written that for flashlight app the permission will be granted automatically?

Try this it may be work http://stackoverflow.com/a/41221852/5488468 — Bipin Bharti, Jan 03 '17 at 10:50

The CameraManager.setTorchMode (how you'd turn on the flashlight on API 23+ devices) does not require the CAMERA permission.

what about the CameraMannager? – YoYo Hai Oct 25 '16 at 04:49
Getting the `CameraManager` system service does not require any permissions at all (the same as system services). – ianhanniballake Oct 25 '16 at 04:52
can you provide a sample code of turning on and off the torch as answer. – YoYo Hai Oct 25 '16 at 04:56
The use of the [flashlight APIs](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0.html#flashlight) really isn't pertinent to your question about run time permissions. – ianhanniballake Oct 25 '16 at 05:07
i have asked about run time permissions in Camera for using flashlight APIs. – YoYo Hai Oct 25 '16 at 05:10
Well if all you cared about was how to use the flashlight APIs, there are already questions for that. – ianhanniballake Oct 25 '16 at 05:29
