Android 6.0 Runtime Permissions Code Labs

At droidcon NYC, happening at an NYC
near you on August 27-28, Larry Schiefer will be delivering a
presentation, ���Android, May I?���,
covering the new Android 6.0 runtime permission system. His
presentation is slated for Friday (August 28th) at 10:10am.
While augmented reality, annotation processors, and typography are
all fine topics in that same time slot, everybody at droidcon NYC
should be attending Larry���s presentation.

Later that day, I am scheduled to run a code lab at droidcon NYC,
where we will put the runtime permission system through its paces.
Come armed with your Android 6.0-equipped developer notebook
(and maybe an Android 6.0-flashed mobile device), and you���ll be able
to update an existing app to ask for runtime permissions as
needed: on first run and if the user asks to do something for which
we do not have permission yet.

For those of you who are more of the Washington inclination, I will be
reprising the code lab at DevFest DC,
though the exact schedule is (ahem) not yet published. I believe
the lab will be on Saturday, September 12th.
At DevFest DC, I am also delivering a presentation on
what���s new in Android 6.0, covering the runtime permissions, the war
on background processing, and other bits of goodness (and not-so-goodness)
(and downright bad-ness) (but with a marshmallow filling) (and parentheses!)
coming our way.
DevFest DC is September 11-12, at the AOL headquarters in Northern
Virginia.

If you are unable to attend either event:

Ask the organizers of your favorite Android developer meetup/GDG/etc.
to see if
I can do something for your group.
That might even be live if you are in the eastern PA/north-central NJ/NYC area.
Otherwise, we can look into some sort of webinar.

The code lab itself will be backed by a standalone tutorial being
added to the next version of The Busy Coder���s Guide to Android Development,
due out��� um��� before I have to deliver the code lab. So, early next
week. Right now, I���m digging out from under a large marshmallow that landed on
my writing plans.
