react-native-permissions: If RESULTS.DENIED, is there a way to tell if user manually denied?

Question

I'm looking at the following Android Flow for react-native-permissions. RESULTS.DENIED can be returned either in the scenario Is the permission already granted -> NO or Is the permission still requestable -> YES. In other words, it will return RESULTS.DENIED both when the app first calls check() and when the user clicks deny.

Is there any way to distinguish between these two scenarios?

Answer 1

When permission is DENIED, it continues to be requestable then the app can ask permission again with a popup permission modal.

In the worst-case scenario, when the user checks NO NOT ASK AGAIN, the permission is BLOCKED and not requestable anymore. If that happens, the app can ask a user to grant permission manually from app settings.
