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

Checking every situation

if denied - showing Alert dialog to user why we need permission

public static final int MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS = 1;
public static final int CAMERA_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE = 2;
public static final int STORAGE_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE = 3;

    private void askPermissions() {

    int permissionCheckStorage = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
            Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);

    int permissionCheckCamera = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
            Manifest.permission.CAMERA); 

   // we already asked for permisson & Permission granted, call camera intent
    if (permissionCheckStorage == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && permissionCheckCamera == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

        launchCamera();

    } //asking permission for the first time
     else if (permissionCheckStorage != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && permissionCheckCamera != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
                MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);

    } else {
        // Permission denied, so request permission

        // if camera request is denied
        if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this,
                Manifest.permission.CAMERA)) {
            AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
            builder.setMessage("You need to give permission to take pictures in order to work this feature.");
            builder.setNegativeButton("CANCEL", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {
                    dialogInterface.dismiss();
                }
            });
            builder.setPositiveButton("GIVE PERMISSION", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {
                    dialogInterface.dismiss();

                    // Show permission request popup
                    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                            new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA},
                            CAMERA_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE);
                }
            });
            builder.show();

        }   // if storage request is denied
                else if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this,
                Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
            AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
            builder.setMessage("You need to give permission to access storage in order to work this feature.");
            builder.setNegativeButton("CANCEL", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {
                    dialogInterface.dismiss();
                }
            });
            builder.setPositiveButton("GIVE PERMISSION", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {
                    dialogInterface.dismiss();

                    // Show permission request popup
                    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                            new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
                            STORAGE_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE);
                }
            });
            builder.show();

        } 

    }
}

Checking Permission Results

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

    switch (requestCode) {
        case CAMERA_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE:
            if (grantResults.length > 0 && permissions[0].equals(Manifest.permission.CAMERA)) {
                // check whether camera permission granted or not.
                if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                    launchCamera();
                }
            }
            break;
        case STORAGE_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE:
            if (grantResults.length > 0 && permissions[0].equals(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
                // check whether storage permission granted or not.
                if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                    launchCamera();
                }
            }
            break;
        case MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS:
            if (grantResults.length > 0 && permissions[0].equals(Manifest.permission.CAMERA) && permissions[1].equals(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
                // check whether All permission granted or not.
                if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && grantResults[1] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                    launchCamera();

                }
            }
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
}

you can just copy and paste this code, it works fine. change context(this) & permissions according to you.

Answer 2

Short and sweet :). what I believe in.

int PERMISSION_ALL = 1;
String[] PERMISSIONS = {Manifest.permission.CAMERA, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}; // List of permissions required

public void askPermission()
{
    for (String permission : PERMISSIONS) {
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, permission) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            requestPermissions(PERMISSIONS, PERMISSION_ALL);
            return;
        }
    }
}

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

    switch (requestCode) {
        case 1:{
            if(grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && grantResults[1] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
                //Do your work.
            } else {
                Toast.makeText(this, "Until you grant the permission, we cannot proceed further", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            return;
        }
    }

Answer 3

Check the "Asking for multiple permissions at a time" section in this article:

Things you need to know about Android M permissions

It's very well explained, and may also touch other related topics you haven't think about.

Answer 4

Just include all 4 permissions in the ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(...) call and Android will automatically page them together like you mentioned.

I have a helper method to check multiple permissions and see if any of them are not granted.

public static boolean hasPermissions(Context context, String... permissions) {
    if (context != null && permissions != null) {
        for (String permission : permissions) {
            if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, permission) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
}

Or in Kotlin:

fun hasPermissions(context: Context, vararg permissions: String): Boolean = permissions.all {
    ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, it) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
}

Then just send it all of the permissions. Android will ask only for the ones it needs.

// The request code used in ActivityCompat.requestPermissions()
// and returned in the Activity's onRequestPermissionsResult()
int PERMISSION_ALL = 1; 
String[] PERMISSIONS = {
  android.Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS, 
  android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS, 
  android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, 
  android.Manifest.permission.READ_SMS, 
  android.Manifest.permission.CAMERA
};

if (!hasPermissions(this, PERMISSIONS)) {
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, PERMISSIONS, PERMISSION_ALL);
}

Answer 5

I found this is in the runtime permissions example from Google's github.

 private static String[] PERMISSIONS_CONTACT = {Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS,
        Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS};
private static final int REQUEST_CONTACTS = 1;
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, PERMISSIONS_CONTACT, REQUEST_CONTACTS);

Answer 6

Simple way to ask multiple permission,

https://github.com/sachinvarma/EasyPermission

How to add :

repositories {
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }

implementation 'com.github.sachinvarma:EasyPermission:1.0.1'

How to ask permission:

 List<String> permission = new ArrayList<>();
 permission.add(EasyPermissionList.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
 permission.add(EasyPermissionList.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);

 new EasyPermissionInit(MainActivity.this, permission);
