Summary:
Explain the **motivation** for making this change. What existing problem does the pull request solve?
The Android permissions native module was open sourced recently (b7352b4667
) but it is currently undocumented and requires directly interfacing with the native module.
This provides a JS wrapper to make it easier to use the permissions module and documents it.
This could be cleaner if the native code used Promise blocks instead of callbacks, but I didn't want to change the native code without a thumbs up since I'm guessing this is used in one of facebook's apps. Happy to do that if it makes sense
I also tried to make the `PERMISSIONS` object a class property - it works in the actual code but not in the documentation (think it's a jsdocs problem), so decided to initialize in the constructor.
**Test plan (required)**
If the API looks good, I will change the UIExplorer example to use this.

UIExplorer
The UIExplorer is a sample app that showcases React Native views and modules.
Running this app
Before running the app, make sure you ran:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install
Running on iOS
Mac OS and Xcode are required.
- Open
Examples/UIExplorer/UIExplorer.xcodeproj
in Xcode - Hit the Run button
See Running on device if you want to use a physical device.
Running on Android
You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.
Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).
cd react-native
./gradlew :Examples:UIExplorer:android:app:installDebug
./packager/packager.sh
Note: Building for the first time can take a while.
Open the UIExplorer app in your emulator.
See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.
Running with Buck
Follow the same setup as running with gradle.
Install Buck from here.
Run the following commands from the react-native folder:
./gradlew :ReactAndroid:packageReactNdkLibsForBuck
buck fetch uiexplorer
buck install -r uiexplorer
./packager/packager.sh
Note: The native libs are still built using gradle. Full build with buck is coming soon(tm).
Built from source
Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.
This is different from apps created using react-native init
which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json
file (and build.gradle
for Android apps).
