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

It may be a cleaner way. Add all your permissions in an array like

private static final String[] INITIAL_PERMS={
            android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
            android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
    };
    private static final int INITIAL_REQUEST=1337;

Whatever your permision is create method for each permision

@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
private boolean canAccessFineLocation() {
    return(hasPermission(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION));
}

@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
private boolean canAccessCoarseLocation() {
    return(hasPermission(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION));
}

@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
private boolean hasPermission(String perm) {
    return(PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED == checkSelfPermission(perm));
}

Call this method in onCreate

 if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M){
      if(!canAccessCoarseLocation() || !canAccessFineLocation()){
            requestPermissions(INITIAL_PERMS, INITIAL_REQUEST);
        }
 }

Now override onRequestPermissionsResult

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {

    if(requestCode == INITIAL_REQUEST){
        if (canAccessFineLocation() && canAccessCoarseLocation())  {
            //call your method
        }
        else {
            //show Toast or alert that this permissions is neccessary
        }
    }
}

For multiple permission at a time you can use this. This work for me.. I got another solution. if you give your targetSdkVersion bellow 22 it works for me. and it behavior as like getting permission from manifest.xml. Tested and works for me.

final private int REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS = 124;

    private void insertDummyContactWrapper() {
        List<String> permissionsNeeded = new ArrayList<String>();

        final List<String> permissionsList = new ArrayList<String>();
        if (!addPermission(permissionsList, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION))
            permissionsNeeded.add("GPS");
        if (!addPermission(permissionsList, Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS))
            permissionsNeeded.add("Read Contacts");
        if (!addPermission(permissionsList, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS))
            permissionsNeeded.add("Write Contacts");

        if (permissionsList.size() > 0) {
            if (permissionsNeeded.size() > 0) {
                // Need Rationale
                String message = "You need to grant access to " + permissionsNeeded.get(0);
                for (int i = 1; i < permissionsNeeded.size(); i++)
                    message = message + ", " + permissionsNeeded.get(i);
                showMessageOKCancel(message,
                        new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                                requestPermissions(permissionsList.toArray(new String[permissionsList.size()]),
                                        REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);
                            }
                        });
                return;
            }
            requestPermissions(permissionsList.toArray(new String[permissionsList.size()]),
                    REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);
            return;
        }

        insertDummyContact();
    }

    private boolean addPermission(List<String> permissionsList, String permission) {
        if (checkSelfPermission(permission) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            permissionsList.add(permission);
            // Check for Rationale Option
            if (!shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(permission))
                return false;
        }
        return true;
    }






@Override
    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
        switch (requestCode) {
            case REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS:
                {
                Map<String, Integer> perms = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
                // Initial
                perms.put(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
                perms.put(Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
                perms.put(Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
                // Fill with results
                for (int i = 0; i < permissions.length; i++)
                    perms.put(permissions[i], grantResults[i]);
                // Check for ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
                if (perms.get(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
                        && perms.get(Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
                        && perms.get(Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                    // All Permissions Granted
                    insertDummyContact();
                } else {
                    // Permission Denied
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Some Permission is Denied", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                            .show();
                }
                }
                break;
            default:
                super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
        }
    }

Answer 3

I have used this wrapper (Recommended) written by google developers. Its super easy to use.

https://github.com/googlesamples/easypermissions

Function dealing with checking and ask for permission if required

public void locationAndContactsTask() {
    String[] perms = { Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS };
    if (EasyPermissions.hasPermissions(this, perms)) {
        // Have permissions, do the thing!
        Toast.makeText(this, "TODO: Location and Contacts things", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    } else {
        // Ask for both permissions
        EasyPermissions.requestPermissions(this, getString(R.string.rationale_location_contacts),
                RC_LOCATION_CONTACTS_PERM, perms);
    }
}

Happy coding :)

Android-M ie, API 23 introduced Runtime Permissions for reducing security flaws in android device, where users can now directly manage app permissions at runtime.so if the user denies a particular permission of your application you have to obtain it by asking the permission dialog that you mentioned in your query.

So check before action ie, check you have permission to access the resource link and if your application doesn't have that particular permission you can request the permission link and handle the the permissions request response like below.

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
        String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode) {
        case MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS: {
            // If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
            if (grantResults.length > 0
                && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

                // permission was granted, yay! Do the
                // contacts-related task you need to do.

               } else {

                // permission denied, boo! Disable the
                // functionality that depends on this permission.
            }
            return;
        }

        // other 'case' lines to check for other
        // permissions this app might request
    }
}

So finally, It's a good practice to go through behavior changes if you are planning to work with new versions to avoid force closes :)

I use RxPermission library library for asking permission. Because it is long code which we have to write to ask permission.

RxPermissions rxPermissions = new RxPermissions(this); // where this is an Activity instance // Must be done during an initialization phase like onCreate
rxPermissions
    .request(Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
    .subscribe(granted -> {
        if (granted) { // Always true pre-M
           // I can control the camera now
        } else {
           // Oups permission denied
        }
    });

Add these dependency in your build.gradle

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.tbruyelle:rxpermissions:0.10.1'
    implementation 'com.jakewharton.rxbinding2:rxbinding:2.1.1'
}

RUNTIME PERMISSION IN ANDROID

public void onClick(View view) {
    if (view.getId() == shareButton.getId()) {
        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            this.shareLog();
        } else {
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[] { Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE }, LogConstants.PERMISSION_REQ_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
        }
    }
}

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
    if (requestCode == LogConstants.PERMISSION_REQ_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) {
        if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            this.shareLog();
        }
    }
}

OnClick method is to check runtime permission

and if Permission is restricted then it request permission
