Request permission dialog pauses my activity

Question

I am asking for permission inside onActivityResult of my activity and what is happening is that my activity is being paused while request permission dialog is disp

Answer 1

There is also possibility that, your Activity (say, MainActivity) that invoking the

requestPermissions()

might have been declared flag

android:noHistory="true" 

in the Manifest.

Therefore the MainActivity is paused, and eventually finish()'d during requestPermissions(). From Android documentation requestPermissions

You cannot request a permission if your activity sets noHistory to true in the manifest

If that is the case.. you may do a finish() clear specific activity programmatically inside the MainActivity { .. } to remove it from the activities stack, not in the Manifest.

This was in my case !
