Activity recognition Running permissions in android 6.0

Question

I am trying to implement activity recognition in order to support api 23. I have followed the guide on current permissions:

https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/permissions.html#normal-dangerous

And I can’t find out if recognition of activity is recognized as a dangerous resolution or normal?

Even in the google activity recognition example, they are not aimed at api 23: https://github.com/googlesamples/android-play-location/tree/master/ActivityRecognition

Is it possible that overriding activity is not supported in android 6.0?

Answer 1

I use this permission in my application, and it does not require any additional efforts on Android 6, you can use it without any problems, it is not "dangerous".
