Android marshmallow request permission?

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

Answer 1

Add the permissions to the AndroidManifest.xml

 ....

To check the Android version if it needs runtime permission or not.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1) {
    askForPermission(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, 1);
}

Ask the user to grant the permission if not granted.

private void askForPermission(String permission, int requestCode) {
    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(c, permission)
            != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(MainActivity.this, permission)) {
            Toast.makeText(c, "Please grant the requested permission to get your task done!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[]{permission}, requestCode);
        } else {
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[]{permission}, requestCode);
        }
    }
}

Do something if the permission was granted or not.

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode) {
        case 1:
            if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                //permission with request code 1 granted
                Toast.makeText(this, "Permission Granted" , Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            } else {
                //permission with request code 1 was not granted
                Toast.makeText(this, "Permission was not Granted" , Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
            break;
        default:
            super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
    }
}
