Hello.
I am working in monitoring app, and I need modify the language of message to request the ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission. How to do it?
According to http://developer.estimote.com/android/tutorial/part-1-setting-up/ I’m calling in the MainActivity:
SystemRequirementsChecker.checkWithDefaultDialogs(this);

The default Android permissions dialog doesn’t allow you to add a custom message/explanation to it.

The way to go about that is to use the check method first, see what permissions are missing via the onRequirementsMissing callback, show your own dialog or a screen which explains why you need these permissions and what’s in it for the user, e.g.:

(the copy/message could be better here :P)

And then if the user taps on the button, you invoke the actual dialog.
