Problem with Android permissions -- they are never asked at least on my device

Original Author: NalleXP
I made following slight changes to /modules/std/permissions/permissions.monkey2 and the asking of Android permissions at run-time seems to work:
`Namespace std.permissions

#If __TARGET__="android"

#Import "native/Monkey2Permissions.java"

Private

Using jni..

Global _class:jclass
Global _ctor:jmethodID
Global _checkPermission:jmethodID
Global _requestPermissions:jmethodID
Global _requestPermissionsFinished:jmethodID
Global _requestPermissionsResult:jmethodID
Global _instance:jobject

Global _requests:=New Deque<Request>
Global _busy:=False

Function Init()

    If _class Return

    Local env:=sdl2.Android_JNI_GetEnv()

    _class=env.FindClass( "com/monkey2/lib/Monkey2Permissions" )

    _ctor=env.GetMethodID( _class,"<init>","()V" )

    _checkPermission=env.GetMethodID( _class,"checkPermission","(Ljava/lang/String;)I" )
    _requestPermissions=env.GetMethodID( _class,"requestPermissions","(Ljava/lang/String;I)V" )
    _requestPermissionsResult=env.GetMethodID( _class,"requestPermissionsResult","()Ljava/lang/String;" )

    Local instance:=env.NewObject( _class,_ctor,Null )

    _instance=env.NewGlobalRef( instance )
End

Class Request

    Field permissions:String
    Field finished:Void( result:ResultType[] )

    Method New( permissions:String[],finished:Void( result:ResultType[] ) )

        Self.permissions=";".Join( permissions )

        Self.finished=finished
    End

    method Start()
        Assert( Not _busy )

        _busy=True

        Local env:=sdl2.Android_JNI_GetEnv()

        Local callback:=async.CreateAsyncCallback( Finished,True )

        env.CallVoidMethod( _instance,_requestPermissions,New Variant[]( permissions,callback ) )
    End

    Method Finished()

        Local env:=sdl2.Android_JNI_GetEnv()    

        Local result:=env.CallStringMethod( _instance,_requestPermissionsResult,null )

        _busy=False

        StartNextRequest()

        Local sresult:=result.Split( ";" )

        Local iresult:=New UInt[sresult.Length]
        For Local i:=0 Until iresult.Length
            iresult[i]=UInt( sresult[i] )
        Next

        finished( iresult )
    End

End

Function StartNextRequest()

    If Not _busy And Not _requests.Empty _requests.RemoveFirst().Start()
End

Public

#end

#rem monkeydoc Check an android permission.

This function is only available on android.

Returns 1 if the given permission has been granted to the app, else 0.

The permission string should be in android manifest form, eg: "android.permission.READ\_EXTERNAL\_STORAGE".

#end
Function CheckPermission:Int( permission:String )

 #If __TARGET__="android"

    Init()

    Local env:=sdl2.Android_JNI_GetEnv()    

    Return env.CallIntMethod( _instance,_checkPermission,New Variant[]( permission ) )

#else

    Return -1

#endif

End

Alias ResultType:uInt

#rem monkeydoc Request android permissions.

This function is only available on android.

Attempts to grant the given permissions to the app.

Depending on the permissions, this may cause a modal dialog to be presented to the user.

The permission strings should be in android manifest form, eg: "android.permission.READ\_EXTERNAL\_STORAGE".

If the result is an empty array, the operation was cancelled.

#end
Function RequestPermissions( permissions:String[],finished:Void( results:ResultType[] ) )

#If __TARGET__="android"

    Init()

    _requests.AddLast( New Request( permissions,finished ) )

    StartNextRequest()

#endif
