02/09/2020, 3:53 PMThanks, I didn’t know splitties. Will take a look at it. I wish to know if there’s any problems with my approach though, to see if I’m getting scopes right…

Splitties permissions are agnostic to that, plus handle a bug in the framework where you can get your Activity in a state where it can no longer request permissions. All you need is to use the lifecycleScope of viewLifecycleOwner in a Fragment or lifecycleScope in an Activity to run the coroutine where you request the permission.
