Insufficient permissions on Android 6 about k6nele HOT 4 CLOSED

This error indicates that Kõnele does not have the "microphone permission". The easiest way to add it is to click on Kõnele's launcher icon, then on the yellow microphone button, and finally on "Allow" (on the permissions asking dialog that pops up). I expect that most users go through this right after installing the app, that's why there is no separate permissions dialog for the IME.

Note that if you use 3rd party recognition services via Kõnele's UI, then these services need to be given permissions separately, via their own UI.

Permissions asking is difficult to get right. The current UX is definitely not ideal. Thus keeping the issue open.

Yes, the the given steps work but experienced users might not ever use K6nele via launcher.

We have to investigate how other keywords have solved this.

Regarding the other keyboards: Swype pops up the standard permissions asking dialog, Google Keyboard (SwiftKey, etc.) fail with a vague message (see screenshot).

Should be fixed in b39b5a3 (v1.5.18). Please verify.
