   private boolean checkAndRequestPermissions() {
    int permissionReadPhoneState = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE);
    int permissionProcessOutGogingCalls = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS);
    int permissionProcessReadContacts = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS);
    int permissionProcessReadCallLog = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_CALL_LOG);

    int permissionWriteStorage = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
    int permissionReadStorage = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);

    List<String> listPermissionsNeeded = new ArrayList<>();
    if (permissionReadPhoneState != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE);
    }
    if (permissionProcessOutGogingCalls != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS);
    }
    if (permissionProcessReadContacts != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS);
    }
    if (permissionProcessReadCallLog != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.READ_CALL_LOG);
    }
    if (permissionWriteStorage != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
    }
    if (permissionReadStorage != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
    }
    if (!listPermissionsNeeded.isEmpty()) {
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, listPermissionsNeeded.toArray(new String[listPermissionsNeeded.size()]), REQUEST_ID_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
    super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
    if (grantResults.length == 0 || grantResults == null) {
        /*If result is null*/
    } else if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        /*If We accept permission*/
    } else if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED) {
        /*If We Decline permission*/
    }
}

Answer 2

I have successfully implemented simple code for Multiple permission at Once. Follow the below steps 1:Make Utility.java class like below

public class Utility {
public static final int MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST = 123;
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
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 (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, permission) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale((Activity) context, permission)) {
                    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions((Activity) context, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE,Manifest.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS}, MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST);
                } else {
                    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions((Activity) context, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE,Manifest.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS}, MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST);
                }
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
}
}

2: Now call

boolean permissionCheck = Utility.checkPermissions(this, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE, Manifest.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS);  

in your Activity onCreate() or according to your logic.

3:Now check permission before performing operation for particular task

if (permissionCheck) {
 performTaskOperation();//this method what you need to perform
} else {
        Toast.makeText(this, "Need permission ON.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
       }

4: Now implement onRequestPermissionsResult() method in your Activity as below

  @Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode) {
        case Utility.MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST:
            if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                if (userChoosenTask.equals("STORAGE"))
                    performTaskOperation();//this method what you need to perform
            }
            break;
    }
}

Answer 3

Here is detailed example with multiple permission requests:-

The app needs 2 permissions at startup . SEND_SMS and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION (both are mentioned in manifest.xml).

I am using Support Library v4 which is prepared to handle Android pre-Marshmallow and so no need to check build versions.

As soon as the app starts up, it asks for multiple permissions together. If both permissions are granted the normal flow goes.

public static final int REQUEST_ID_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS = 1;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    if(checkAndRequestPermissions()) {
        // carry on the normal flow, as the case of  permissions  granted.
    }
}

private  boolean checkAndRequestPermissions() {
    int permissionSendMessage = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
            Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS);
    int locationPermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
    List<String> listPermissionsNeeded = new ArrayList<>();
    if (locationPermission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
    }
    if (permissionSendMessage != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS);
    }
    if (!listPermissionsNeeded.isEmpty()) {
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, listPermissionsNeeded.toArray(new String[listPermissionsNeeded.size()]),REQUEST_ID_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(), ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(), ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale() are part of support library.

In case one or more permissions are not granted, ActivityCompat.requestPermissions() will request permissions and the control goes to onRequestPermissionsResult() callback method.

You should check the value of shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale() flag in onRequestPermissionsResult() callback method.

There are only two cases:--

Case 1:-Any time user clicks Deny permissions (including the very first time), it will return true. So when the user denies, we can show more explanation and keep asking again

Case 2:-Only if user select “never asks again” it will return false. In this case, we can continue with limited functionality and guide user to activate the permissions from settings for more functionalities, or we can finish the setup, if the permissions are trivial for the app.

CASE -1

CASE-2

    @Override
    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
                                           String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Permission callback called-------");
        switch (requestCode) {
            case REQUEST_ID_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS: {

                Map<String, Integer> perms = new HashMap<>();
                // Initialize the map with both permissions
                perms.put(Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
                perms.put(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
                // Fill with actual results from user
                if (grantResults.length > 0) {
                    for (int i = 0; i < permissions.length; i++)
                        perms.put(permissions[i], grantResults[i]);
                    // Check for both permissions
                    if (perms.get(Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
                            && perms.get(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                        Log.d(TAG, "sms & location services permission granted");
                        // process the normal flow
                        //else any one or both the permissions are not granted
                    } else {
                            Log.d(TAG, "Some permissions are not granted ask again ");
                            //permission is denied (this is the first time, when "never ask again" is not checked) so ask again explaining the usage of permission
//                        // shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale will return true
                            //show the dialog or snackbar saying its necessary and try again otherwise proceed with setup.
                            if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this, Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS) || ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)) {
                                showDialogOK("SMS and Location Services Permission required for this app",

Answer 4

Small code :

 public static final int MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS = 10; // code you want.

 String[] permissions= new String[]{
        Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
        Manifest.permission.CAMERA,
        Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,
        Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION};


if (checkPermissions())
         //  permissions  granted.    
}

private  boolean checkPermissions() {
        int result;
        List<String> listPermissionsNeeded = new ArrayList<>();
        for (String p:permissions) {
            result = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(),p);
            if (result != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                listPermissionsNeeded.add(p);
            }
        }
        if (!listPermissionsNeeded.isEmpty()) {
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, listPermissionsNeeded.toArray(new String[listPermissionsNeeded.size()]),MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS );
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }


   @Override
    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissionsList[], int[] grantResults) {
        switch (requestCode) {
            case MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS:{
                if (grantResults.length > 0) {
                String permissionsDenied = "";
                for (String per : permissionsList) {
                    if(grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED){
                        permissionsDenied += "\n" + per;

                    } 

                }
                // Show permissionsDenied 
                updateViews();
            }
                return;
            }

List of Android permissions normal permissions and dangerous permissions in API 23

Answer 5

After seeing all the long and complex answers. I want post this answer.

RxPermission is widely used library now for asking permission in one line code.

RxPermissions rxPermissions = new RxPermissions(this);
rxPermissions
.request(Manifest.permission.CAMERA,
         Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE)
.subscribe(granted -> {
    if (granted) {
       // All requested permissions are granted
    } else {
       // At least one permission is denied
    }
});

add 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'
}

Isn't this easy?

Answer 6

It's easy, do this way

private static final int REQUEST_READ_PHONE_STATE = 110 , REQUEST_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION = 111, REQUEST_WRITE_STORAGE = 112;

In your onCreate

 //request permission
    boolean hasPermissionPhoneState = (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getApplicationContext(),
            Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
    if (!hasPermissionPhoneState) {
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(LoginActivity.this,
                new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE},
                REQUEST_READ_PHONE_STATE);
    }

    boolean hasPermissionLocation = (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getApplicationContext(),
            Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
    if (!hasPermissionLocation) {
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(LoginActivity.this,
                new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
                REQUEST_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
    }

    boolean hasPermissionWrite = (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getApplicationContext(),
            Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
    if (!hasPermissionWrite) {
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(LoginActivity.this,
                new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
                REQUEST_WRITE_STORAGE);
    }

Then check result

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
    super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
    switch (requestCode)
    {
        case REQUEST_READ_PHONE_STATE: {
            if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
            {
                Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, "Permission granted.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                //reload my activity with permission granted or use the features what required the permission
                finish();
                startActivity(getIntent());
            } else
            {
                Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, "The app was not allowed to get your phone state. Hence, it cannot function properly. Please consider granting it this permission", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        }
        case REQUEST_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: {
            if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
            {
                Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, "Permission granted.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                //reload my activity with permission granted or use the features what required the permission
                finish();
                startActivity(getIntent());
            } else
            {
                Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, "The app was not allowed to get your location. Hence, it cannot function properly. Please consider granting it this permission", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        }

        case REQUEST_WRITE_STORAGE: {
            if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
            {
                Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, "Permission granted.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                //reload my activity with permission granted or use the features what required the permission
                finish();
                startActivity(getIntent());
            } else
            {
                Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, "The app was not allowed to write to your storage. Hence, it cannot function properly. Please consider granting it this permission", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        }
    }

}
