Question

[ktx] Construct PermissionsRequester from Fragment may cause that callbacks (requiresPermission, onPermissionDenied, etc.) are called after Fragment instance is already dead

Overview

When we open and close the same Fragment that constructs PermissionRequester multiple times the callback passed by closed one's instance is called and this may cause a crash.

Reproducible steps

In my sample app,
- Open app then FirstFragment is launched as a root Fragment
- Navigate to SecondFragment (PermissionsRequester is constructed here) with tapping "CLICK TO NEXT"
- Back to FirstFragment
- Navigate to SecondFragment again
- Tap "REQUEST PERMISSION"
- Tap "DENY" or "ALLOW"
- App crashes (Toast is about to be shown in Fragment's Context with a permission result callback)

Stack trace:

Toast uses detached Context so java.lang.IllegalStateException: Fragment SecondFragment{9e09ebc} (c9cd8d4c-7acc-476a-90c8-7e882fc8dd69) not attached to a context. is shown

GIF with the above procedure

Expected

Permission result callbacks passed by Fragment that is alive (most recently opened one) are correctly called without any crashes.

Actual

App crashes with permission result callbacks being called passed by Fragment that is already dead.

Environment

Which library version are you using?
- ktx:1.1.3
On which devices do you observe the issue?
- I confirmed with Pixel 2 API 28

Hypothesis for the cause of the crash

LiveData is observed with using Activity as a LifecycleOwner regardless of whether PermissionsRequster was constructed by Fragment or Activity.
If PermissionsRequster was constructed by Fragment, lambda passed into LiveData.observe will still be registered, and observing LiveData won't stop when the Fragment dies
When the same Fragment is reopened and the LiveData is updated, the previous lambda is called

@hotchemi I'd appreciate it if you could take a look when you have time (There is no rush) 🙇

@hotchemi how about this PR?

maybe lifecycleOwner = this is not always right，fragment lifecycle is different from fragment viewLifecycle
