Location permission denied

Hi all,

I am having a hard time to get the Flic2 SDK working in my Android app due to permission issue.
I just add the following line in my build.gradle with no other changes:

implementation 'com.github.50ButtonsEach:flic2lib-android:1.+'

But, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission is denied even if user allowed it in permission dialog.
If I remove that line from build.gradle, permission is granted after user allowed it.

Is there any other version that works with permission?

Thank you.

@bmatest0910 You need to carefully study the readme at https://github.com/50ButtonsEach/flic2lib-android, in particular the section https://github.com/50ButtonsEach/flic2lib-android?tab=readme-ov-file#scanning-for-new-buttons. What API level does your app target and what Android version does your device have?

If targeting and running on Android 12 or higher, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION is not the permission that you should request at runtime, but BLUETOOTH_SCAN and BLUETOOTH_CONNECT.

If you really need ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION in your app for your other purposes, not Flic-related, such as GPS, you need to follow the instructions at https://github.com/50ButtonsEach/flic2lib-android?tab=readme-ov-file#api-versioning-and-manifest-permissions.
