Permission (Type of variable)

In french: Permission

The Permission type represents a permission requested by the application (and therefore declared in the manifest). The characteristics of this permission can be defined and modified using different WLanguage properties.

Remark: See Declaring a variable for more details on the declaration of this type of variable and the use of WLanguage properties.

Example

// Checks if the CAMERA permission has been granted to the application
perm is Permission = PermissionList("android.permission.CAMERA")
IF NOT perm.Granted
// Process if the permission has not been granted
END
