Detailed Description

The QPermission class is an opaque wrapper of a typed permission, used when checking or requesting permissions. You do not need to construct this type explicitly, as the type is automatically used when checking or requesting permissions:

 qApp->checkPermission(QCameraPermission{});

When requesting permissions, the given functor will be passed an instance of a QPermission, which can be used to check the result of the request:

 qApp->requestPermission(QCameraPermission{}, [](const QPermission &permission) {
     if (permission.status() == Qt::PermissionStatus:Granted)
         takePhoto();
 });

To inspect the properties of the original, typed permission, use the value() function:

 QLocationPermission locationPermission;
 locationPermission.setAccuracy(QLocationPermission::Precise);
 qApp->requestPermission(locationPermission, this, &LocationWidget::permissionUpdated);
 void LocationWidget::permissionUpdated(const QPermission &permission)
 {
     if (permission.status() != Qt::PermissionStatus:Granted)
         return;
     auto locationPermission = permission.value<QLocationPermission>();
     if (!locationPermission || locationPermission->accuracy() != QLocationPermission::Precise)
         return;
     updatePreciseLocation();
 }

Typed Permissions

Member Function Documentation

template <typename T, QPermission::if_permission<T> = true> QPermission::QPermission(const T &type)

Constructs a permission from the given typed permission type.

You do not need to construct this type explicitly, as the type is automatically used when checking or requesting permissions.

This constructor participates in overload resolution only if T is one of the typed permission classes:

QBluetoothPermission

Access Bluetooth peripherals

QCalendarPermission

Access the user's calendar

QCameraPermission

Access the camera for taking pictures or videos

QContactsPermission

Access the user's contacts

QLocationPermission

Access the user's location

QMicrophonePermission

Access the microphone for monitoring or recording sound

Qt::PermissionStatus QPermission::status() const

Returns the status of the permission.

QMetaType QPermission::type() const

Returns the type of the permission.

template <typename T, QPermission::if_permission<T> = true> std::optional<T> QPermission::value() const

Returns the typed permission of type T, or std::nullopt if this QPermission object doesn't contain one.

Use type() for dynamically choosing which typed permission to request.

This function participates in overload resolution only if T is one of the typed permission classes:

QBluetoothPermission

Access Bluetooth peripherals

QCalendarPermission

Access the user's calendar

QCameraPermission

Access the camera for taking pictures or videos

QContactsPermission

Access the user's contacts

QLocationPermission

Access the user's location

QMicrophonePermission

Access the microphone for monitoring or recording sound
