Android user do not want to see "Allow ____ to photos, media, and files on your device". #94

I am building an app for user's with-in our company. I use cordoba-screenshot to capture the app when user's submit feedback. The app uses Crosswalk. I always use the "URI" method of capturing screenshots. I don't need access to the user's media or files.

Is it possible to reconfigure the PERMISSIONS request to only ask for a screen shot of the current app when you call URI? I have a few senior staff very annoyed that our app asks for access to everything.

Here is the offending dialog. Android 6.0.1.

Also, I'm happy to hack down this plugin to the subset I need if it is going to be possible to avoid this dialog.

BTW: The plugin is very handy. Thanks for maintaining it.

I created a fork of this project to support my needs. https://github.com/perry2of5/cordova-screenshot It only supports Crosswalk on Android and the default web view on iOS. It does not request any permissions from the OS. The plugin is not as full-featured as this one, but my users are happy now. Thanks for maintaining this plugin -- I couldn't have created the forked plugin from scratch without a much larger investment of time. Cheers! Tim
