Question

I am currently working on an application that requires several \"dangerous\" permissions. So I tried adding \"ask for permission\" as required in Android Marshmallow(API Lev

Starting in Android Marshmallow, we need to request the user for specific permissions. We can also check through code if the permission is already given. Here is a list of commonly needed permissions:

• android.permission_group.CALENDAR

  • android.permission.READ_CALENDAR
  • android.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR

• android.permission_group.CAMERA

  • android.permission.CAMERA

• android.permission_group.CONTACTS

  • android.permission.READ_CONTACTS
  • android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS
  • android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS

• android.permission_group.LOCATION

  • android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
  • android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION

• android.permission_group.MICROPHONE

  • android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO

• android.permission_group.PHONE

  • android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
  • android.permission.CALL_PHONE
  • android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG
  • android.permission.WRITE_CALL_LOG
  • android.permission.ADD_VOICEMAIL
  • android.permission.USE_SIP
  • android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS

• android.permission_group.SENSORS

  • android.permission.BODY_SENSORS

• android.permission_group.SMS

  • android.permission.SEND_SMS
  • android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS
  • android.permission.READ_SMS
  • android.permission.RECEIVE_WAP_PUSH
  • android.permission.RECEIVE_MMS
  • android.permission.READ_CELL_BROADCASTS

• android.permission_group.STORAGE

  • android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
  • android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

Here is sample code to check for permissions:

if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale((Activity) context, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR)) {
        AlertDialog.Builder alertBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
        alertBuilder.setCancelable(true);
        alertBuilder.setMessage("Write calendar permission is necessary to write event!!!");
        alertBuilder.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.yes, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                ActivityCompat.requestPermissions((Activity)context, new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR}, MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_WRITE_CALENDAR);
            }
        });
    } else {
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions((Activity)context, new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR}, MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_WRITE_CALENDAR);
    }
}
