Android 6.0 multiple permissions

Question

I know that Android 6.0 has new permissions and I know I can call them with something like this

if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permiss         


        

Answer 1

You can use Dexter

In build.gradle add:

implementation 'com.karumi:dexter:5.0.0'

And use it in your activity as:

val requiredPermissions = when {
            Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q -> listOf(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
                Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,
                Manifest.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION)
            else -> listOf(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
                Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)
        }

Dexter.withActivity(this)
     .withPermissions(
           requiredPermissions
      )
     .withListener(object : MultiplePermissionsListener {
        override fun onPermissionRationaleShouldBeShown(
             permissions: MutableList<PermissionRequest>?,
                    token: PermissionToken?
             ) {
                    /* ... */
                }


        override fun onPermissionsChecked(report: MultiplePermissionsReport) = 
             if (report.isAnyPermissionPermanentlyDenied) {
                toast("You should grant all permissions") 
             } else {
                toast("All permissions granted")

                // continue here if permission is a must

              }).check()

             // continue here if permission is not a must

Answer 2

My approach is based on Nicks' answer and hopefully is a bit more usable for multiple (as many as needed, not only two) permissions. It suggests adding single-responsibility PermissionsHelper class:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat;
import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat;
import android.util.Log;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

public class PermissionsHelper {

private static final int REQUEST_ID_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS = 100; // any code you want.

public void checkAndRequestPermissions(Activity activity, String... permissions) {
    List<String> listPermissionsNeeded = new ArrayList<>();
    for (String permission : permissions) {
        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(activity, permission) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            listPermissionsNeeded.add(permission);
        }
    }
    if (!listPermissionsNeeded.isEmpty()) {
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(activity, listPermissionsNeeded.toArray(new String[listPermissionsNeeded.size()]), REQUEST_ID_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);
    }
}

public void onRequestPermissionsResult(Activity activity, int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode) {
        case REQUEST_ID_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS: {
            Map<String, Integer> perms = new HashMap<>();

            for (String permission : permissions) {
                perms.put(permission, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
            }

            if (grantResults.length > 0) {
                for (int i = 0; i < permissions.length; i++)
                    perms.put(permissions[i], grantResults[i]);

                boolean allPermissionsGranted = true;
                for (String permission1 : permissions) {
                    allPermissionsGranted = allPermissionsGranted && (perms.get(permission1) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
                }

                if (allPermissionsGranted) {
                    Log.d(PermissionsHelper.class.getSimpleName(), "onRequestPermissionsResult: all permissions granted");
                } else {
                    for (String permission2 : perms.keySet())
                        if (perms.get(permission2) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
                            perms.remove(permission2);

                    StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder("The app has not been granted permissions:\n\n");
                    for (String permission : perms.keySet()) {
                        message.append(permission);
                        message.append("\n");
                    }
                    message.append("\nHence, it cannot function properly." +
                            "\nPlease consider granting it this permission in phone Settings.");

                    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity);
                    builder.setTitle(R.string.permission_required)
                            .setMessage(message)
                            .setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, (dialog, id) -> dialog.cancel());
                    AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
                    alert.show();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

}

If one or several required permissions have not been granted by user, the detailed AlertDialog message will be shown to him.

Example of usage in Activity:

private PermissionsHelper permissionsHelper;

@Override
protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    checkPermissions();

    //any other code
}

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
    permissionsHelper.onRequestPermissionsResult(this, requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
}

private void checkPermissions() {
    permissionsHelper = new PermissionsHelper();
    permissionsHelper.checkAndRequestPermissions(this,
            Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
            Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
            Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION);
}

Hope that this will be useful for someone.

Answer 3

I just use an array to achieved multiple requests, hope it helps someone. (Kotlin)

    // got all permission
    private fun requestPermission(){
        var mIndex: Int = -1
        var requestList: Array<String> = Array(10, { "" } )

        // phone call Permission
        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            mIndex ++
            requestList[mIndex] = Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE
        }
        // SMS Permission
        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            mIndex ++
            requestList[mIndex] = Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS
        }

        // Access photos Permission
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            mIndex ++
            requestList[mIndex] = Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
        }

        // Location Permission
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(mContext, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
                && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(mContext, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            mIndex ++
            requestList[mIndex] = Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
        }

        if(mIndex != -1){
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, requestList, PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_ALL)
        }
    }


    // permission response
    override fun onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode: Int,
                                            permissions: Array<String>, grantResults: IntArray) {
        when (requestCode) {
            PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_ALL -> {
                // If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
                if (grantResults.isNotEmpty() && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                    // permission accept location
                    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
                                    Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                        Log.d(TAG, "Phone Call permission accept.")
                    }

                    // permission accept location
                    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
                                    Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                        Log.d(TAG, "SMS permission accept.")
                    }

                    // permission accept location
                    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
                                    Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                        Log.d(TAG, "SMS permission accept.")
                    }

                    // permission accept location
                    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
                                    Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                        Log.d(TAG, "Location permission accept.")
                    }

                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(mContext, "Permission Failed!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
                }
                return
            }
        }
    }

Answer 4

In a Fragment

public class Homefragment extends Fragment {
    View hfrag;
   Context context;
 public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {

//first we must check the permissions are already granted

        hfrag = inflater.inflate(R.layout.home, container, false);
        context = getActivity();
checkAndRequestPermissions();

}




}


private boolean checkAndRequestPermissions() {
        int permissionSendMessage = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,
                Manifest.permission.READ_SMS);
        int contactpermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS);

        int writepermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);

        int callpermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE);

        int receivepermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.RECEIVE_SMS);
        int locationpermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);

        List<String> listPermissionsNeeded = new ArrayList<>();

        if (locationpermission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
        }

        if (contactpermission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

Answer 5

In Kotlin:

private val id = 1
private val permissions = arrayOf(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
fun hasPermissions(): Boolean {
 for (perm in permissions) {
                if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, perm) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                    return false
                }
            }

        return true
    }

    if(! hasPermissions()){
                   requestPermissions(this, permissions, id)
           }

Answer 6

The following methodology is about

• asking permissions dynamically ;
• showing a AlertDialog if the user denies any permission
• looping until the user accepts permission(s)

Create a "static" class for permissions methods

public class PermissionsUtil {
    public static final int PERMISSION_ALL = 1;

    public static boolean doesAppNeedPermissions(){
        return android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1;
    }

    public static String[] getPermissions(Context context)
            throws PackageManager.NameNotFoundException {
        PackageInfo info = context.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(
                context.getPackageName(), PackageManager.GET_PERMISSIONS);

        return info.requestedPermissions;
    }

    public static void askPermissions(Activity activity){
        if(doesAppNeedPermissions()) {
            try {
                String[] permissions = getPermissions(activity);

                if(!checkPermissions(activity, permissions)){
                    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(activity, permissions,
                            PERMISSION_ALL);
                }
            } catch(Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }

    public static boolean checkPermissions(Context context, String... permissions){
        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M && context != null &&
                permissions != null) {
            for (String permission : permissions) {
                if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, permission) !=
                        PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                    return false;
                }
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
}

In MainActivity.java

    private void checkPermissions(){
        PermissionsUtil.askPermissions(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
                                           @NonNull String[] permissions,
                                           @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
        super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
        switch (requestCode) {
            case PermissionsUtil.PERMISSION_ALL: {

                if (grantResults.length > 0) {

                    List<Integer> indexesOfPermissionsNeededToShow = new ArrayList<>();

                    for(int i = 0; i < permissions.length; ++i) {
                        if(ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this, permissions[i])) {
                            indexesOfPermissionsNeededToShow.add(i);
                        }
                    }

                    int size = indexesOfPermissionsNeededToShow.size();
                    if(size != 0) {
                        int i = 0;
                        boolean isPermissionGranted = true;

                        while(i < size && isPermissionGranted) {
                            isPermissionGranted = grantResults[indexesOfPermissionsNeededToShow.get(i)]
                                    == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED;
                            i++;
                        }

                        if(!isPermissionGranted) {

                            showDialogNotCancelable("Permissions mandatory",
                                    "All the permissions are required for this app",
                                    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                        @Override
                                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {
                                            checkPermissions();
                                        }
                                    });
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    private void showDialogNotCancelable(String title, String message,
                                         DialogInterface.OnClickListener okListener) {
        new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
                .setTitle(title)
                .setMessage(message)
                .setPositiveButton("OK", okListener)
                .setCancelable(false)
