//and maybe you need in some ocations
import com.frosquivel.magicalcamera.Objects.MagicalCameraObject;

Extends Application Class

public class MyApplicationClass extends MagicalCameraApplication {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
    }
    
    //IF YOU NEED MULTIDEX, SET HERE, NOT ON APPLICATION TAG ON MANIFEAST, LIKE THIS
    @Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
      super.attachBaseContext(base);
      MultiDex.install(this);
    }
}

On manifest, change the name, for the name of your Application class, like this:

  <application
        android:name=".MyApplicationClass">

Permissions on real time

With the MagicalPermissions class you can ask for permissions in a Activity or in an Fragment. This class will take care of validating the device API level, what permissions the user haven't granted yet, ask for thoose permissions, deliver the result and together with MagicalCamera will take the photo or select it from the gallery.

Requesting permissions on real time to the user is a 2 part process. First permissions most be requested, then the result is delivered. So you need a field variable to later call it again on the permissions result:

private MagicalPermissions magicalPermissions;

MagicalPermissions constructor accept two params, the first is the Activity or Fragment and the second is a String array of the permissions you need String[]. MagicalPermissions use the Activity or Fragment to later deliver the result of the permission, and the array to ask for thoose permissions.

magicalPermissions = new MagicalPermissions(this, permissions);

Inside MagicalPermissions it will be solved if the API level of the device requiere to ask permissions or not. If permissions must be asked to the user then MagicalPermissions will validate which permissions are already granted and only asked for the needed. This is why is very important you only ask for the permissions you need, taking the photo or selecting it will only happen if every permission you have asked is granted.

By example, if you only need to take the photo then:

String[] permissions = new String[] {
                Manifest.permission.CAMERA
        };
magicalPermissions = new MagicalPermissions(this, permissions);

MagicalCamera take care of saving the photo commonly you will need:

String[] permissions = new String[] {
            Manifest.permission.CAMERA,
            Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
            Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
    };
magicalPermissions = new MagicalPermissions(this, permissions);

Or maybe you want to use more potential of MagicalCamera and also ask for location related info, then you need:

String[] permissions = new String[] {
            Manifest.permission.CAMERA,
            Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
            Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
            Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,
            Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
    };
magicalPermissions = new MagicalPermissions(this, permissions);

You can also ask for other permissions in other places of your app, even unrelated to MagicalCamera using MagicalPermissions separatedly. So if getting location information is not requiered for the photo, but is a plus, you should consider separating thoose permissions from the absolutely needed to your feature. MagicalPermissions use a Runnable to do whatever you want after checking the permissions. When is used along with MagicalCamera you don't have to be aware of that, is automatic, but in this case we are considering asking for other permissions:

String[] location = new String[]
