Please check this video from Google IO - [this video] There is no more Internet permission - the app will have by default access to the internet. Their idea is that if you don't have access to the device data then you can not do anything dangerous Kind Regards

@Fraid: looks like they added this with preview #2 of Android M: [LINK] and it's probably what I was looking for. I can't test it right now but will do so next week. If it does what I hope it does, you can post it as an answer and get some reputation. In the meantime this might help others: [this video]

You should consider watching this video [this video] from I/O that talks about some best practices. If using these permissions is required for the core functionality of your app then you should request them following a warm welcome when the app is first loaded. If it's secondary functionality that some users might never encounter, then it's better to do so only after the user tries to use that functionality.

Nope, from 6.0 onward we have to ask the user directly. If you're more curious about why this is the direction Android is going, you might watch this video from Google: [this video]

If you have background process or services running in the background , then if user revokes permission from settings , the process gets restarted. This shouldn't affect your activity unless your activity context is tied to your service.The speaker in Google IO 2015- [this video] does tell about process restart ,etc....
Cites rekire · 2015-12 · Stack Overflow · on “Handle permissions change while in app”
I read somewhere that your app gets killed when the user changes the permissions on Android-M so you can be sure that this won't change while your app is running. It will been killed when this changes. As reference check this video: [this video]

ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS worked, thanks. On the second question, here: [this video] at around 27:30 the speaker said that if your permissions haven't been denied before you can intent directly to the app permissions, can't find the documentation though.

I am aware about the changes introduced in Android 6.0/SDKVersion 23 regarding the run-time permission.
