Cannot resolve method checkSelfPermission

Question

I\'m trying to make my app ready for Android 6 and now I\'m stuck to the point where you need to request and check permissions.

I tried the following from the docs:

Answer 1

Trying to use checkSelfPermission() in a Fragment with Kotlin and wondering how to get around Context being null?

Have a look at the sample below, and remember, before the Fragment is attached to the Activity, the Context will be null.

private fun fineLocationPermissionApproved(): Boolean {

    val context = context ?: return false

    return PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED == checkSelfPermission(
        context,
        Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
    )
}
