I recently started making an Android application, and I wish that there was a way for it to ask for incremental permissions. Unfortunately, it is all or nothing (as far as I know).
The app is a happiness tracker that tries to correlate things with your happiness level. Right now, it's just location and some text/values you input. But what happens if some users want to correlate their texts with happiness? Or their pictures?
I don't want to have to ask everyone to grant my app access to major phone functions when only a small subset of users would want that functionality. Unfortunately, I have to because of the way the OS is setup.
