Unable to turn on GPS programmatically - android

I am building a Lost Device Finder app and want to be able to turn on GPS programmatically.
I am able to get Modify System Settings permission, but when I try to turn on GPS, Permission Denied exception is thrown.
The following is my Code:-
if (!Settings.System.canWrite(getBaseContext())) {
startActivityForResult(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_WRITE_SETTINGS).setData(Uri.parse(String.format("package:%s", getPackageName()))), request_code);
}
else{
turnGpsOn(getBaseContext());
}
private void turnGpsOn (Context context) {
String beforeEnable = Settings.Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(),
Settings.Secure.LOCATION_PROVIDERS_ALLOWED);
String newSet = String.format ("%s,%s",
beforeEnable,
LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
try {
Settings.Secure.putString (context.getContentResolver(),
Settings.Secure.LOCATION_PROVIDERS_ALLOWED,
newSet);
} catch(Exception e) {}
}
And I have defined permissions in Manifest like this,
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS"
tools:ignore="ProtectedPermissions" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS"
tools:ignore="ProtectedPermissions" />
My device is not rooted but I think it can be done as the "PowerShade" app requires Modify System Settings Permission in order to do it.

Why does the permissions dialog not appear when I ask for background location?

I am attempting to request background location permission for my app, but the locations permission dialog doesn't appear at all if I ask for background location.
If I just ask for coarse location and fine location, the permissions dialog appears as it should.
Manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
code:
requestPermissionsIfNecessary(new String[]{
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION,
Manifest.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
});
...
...
private void requestPermissionsIfNecessary(String[] permissions) {
ArrayList<String> permissionsToRequest = new ArrayList<>();
for (String permission : permissions) {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, permission)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Permission is not granted
permissionsToRequest.add(permission);
}
}
if (permissionsToRequest.size() > 0) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
this,
permissionsToRequest.toArray(new String[0]),
REQUEST_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CODE);
}
}
No permissions dialog appears with this code. But if I comment out the 'background' permission lines, the dialog appears and the user can choose permissions.
Same result whether targeting Android 11 or 12. So what am I missing here?
This is expected behavior from android 10. Background location permission can not be granted from application as user permission. Instead you should tell user with some kind of pop up and redirect user to setting page.
OK, with help from #alokHarman and other threads here I have arrived at the following (in OnCreate):
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,Manifest.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
intent.setData(Uri.fromParts("package", getPackageName(), null));
startActivity(intent);
}
PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
if (!pm.isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations(getPackageName())) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATION_SETTINGS);
startActivity(intent);
}
I have also directed the user to change the power settings for this app, because if the app is allowed to go into deep sleep than it matters not whether background location is activaed or not.

WifiManger.getScanResults() returns empty list on android

Yes, I did take a look at all other similar question but they are not working for me.
I am trying to get a list of wifi connections available near me.
This is how I am doing it:
public class WifiFunction {
private final String tag = WifiFunction.class.getSimpleName();
private WifiManager wifiManager;
public List<WifiDetail> getListofWifi(Context context) {
List<WifiDetail> wifiDetails = new ArrayList<>();
List<ScanResult> results = wifiManager.getScanResults();
Log.d(tag,"Wifi Details " + wifiManager.getScanResults().size());
for (ScanResult result : results) {
wifiDetails.add(new WifiDetail(result.BSSID, result.SSID));
Log.d(tag, result.BSSID + result.SSID);
}
return wifiDetails;
}
public void startScan(Context context)
{
wifiManager = (WifiManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
wifiManager.startScan();
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction(SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION);
context.registerReceiver(new resultReciever(this),filter);
}
}
Receiver class :
public class resultReciever extends BroadcastReceiver {
private WifiFunction wifiFunction;
resultReciever(WifiFunction wifiFunction)
{
this.wifiFunction = wifiFunction;
}
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d("Receiver","started");
wifiFunction.getListofWifi(context);
}
}
From Main Activity I am just calling:
(new WifiFunction()).startScan(this);
that is after checking for permissions.
Yes, I did declare receiver in the manifest.
I am asking for access and change of wifi state and access coarse location.
Still, Log prints the size of the returned list to be 0. What am I doing wrong? How to solve it?
Edit: Manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permisiion.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">

<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver android:name=".resultReciever"/>
</application>
EDIT 2:
Runtime Permission:
private boolean checkPermission() {
List<String> permissionsList = new ArrayList<String>();
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
permissionsList.add(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE);
}
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
permissionsList.add(Manifest.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE);
}
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
permissionsList.add(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION);
}
if (permissionsList.size() > 0) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, permissionsList.toArray(new String[permissionsList.size()]),
1);
return false;
}
return true;
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case 1:
(new WifiFunction()).startScan(this);
break;
}
}
This worked. I just had to give Access_Fine_Location permission.
Adding the following line to your manifest is not necessarily enough to fix the problem!
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
If your targetSdkVersion is 23 or greater, then (because this is one of the dangerous permissions) you must also do something like this
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(Main.this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION }, 1);
Doing this fixed the problem for both me and the OP. I double-checked the assertion by reversing the changes to recreate the problem.
NB: There are 2 highly remarkable elements here:
(1) Nowhere is it documented that WifiManager.startScan() requires this permission.
(2) My app is based on a working (pre-API 23) app that does NOT have Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
You were missing permission to access Access_Fine_Location, but starting from Android 6 granting all the permissions won't yield the expected output. You have to enable location services in order to get desired results. Granting permissions is just the half work done.
You can also fire an intent to redirect user to this setting:
Intent myIntent = new Intent( Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
startActivity(myIntent);
Location services are necessary because when you access the scan results, you can access the information like BSSID (address of the access point). This information can also be used to detect the location of device. By requiring location services, OS ensures that user understands their location information is being accessed when they use your app.
Set permission in your AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
Now go to settings > Apps > your app > Permissions. Make sure Location is switched on.
Now go to Settings > Location make sure its switched on.
You should be able to get results in WifiManger.getScanResults()
A successful call to WifiManager.getScanResults() requires any one of the following permissions:
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
CHANGE_WIFI_STATE
If the calling app does not have any of these permissions, the call fails with a SecurityException.
So Android 8 able to retrive all wifi APs by just enabling the CHANGE_WIFI_STATE

Error on starting camera android studio [duplicate]

I'm trying to start a ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE activity in order to take a picture in my app and I'm getting the error in the subject.
Stacktrace:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Remove this permission
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
I faced this error executing my app in android 7. After tests I noticed user permission wasn't in project A but it was in project B, that I only tested in android 5 devices. So I remove that permission in project B in order to run it on other device that targets android 7 and it finally could open.
In adittion I added the fileprovider code that Android suggests here https://developer.android.com/training/camera/photobasics.html
Hope this helps.
hi you can use these permission in your manifest file with other permission,
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.camera.any"
android:required="true" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus"
android:required="false" />
Now we have very sorted way for permission handling. So,here is the steps. I have added here for kotlin.
Step 1. Declare this as global variable or any where.
private val permissions = registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.RequestMultiplePermissions()) { granted ->
granted.entries.forEach {
when (it.value) {
true -> {
// Call whatever you want to do when someone allow the permission.
}
false -> {
showPermissionSettingsAlert(requireContext())
}
}
}
}
Step 2.
// You can put this line in constant.
val storagePermission = arrayOf(
Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
)
// You can put this in AppUtil.
fun checkPermissionStorage(context: Context): Boolean {
val result =
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
return result == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
}
// Put this where you need Permission check.
if (!checkPermissionStorage(requireContext())) {
permissions.launch(
storagePermission
)
} else {
// Permission is already added.
}
Step 3. Permission rejection Dialog. If you want you can use this.
fun showPermissionSettingsAlert(context: Context) {
val builder = AlertDialog.Builder(context)
builder.setTitle("Grant Permission")
builder.setMessage("You have rejected the Storage permission for the application. As it is absolutely necessary for the app to perform you need to enable it in the settings of your device. Please select \"Go to settings\" to go to application settings in your device.")
builder.setPositiveButton("Allow") { dialog, which ->
val intent = Intent()
intent.action = Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS
val uri = Uri.fromParts("package", context.packageName, null)
intent.data = uri
context.startActivity(intent)
}
builder.setNeutralButton("Deny") { dialog, which ->
dialog.dismiss()
}
val dialog = builder.create()
dialog.show()
}
Thankyou
hope this will help you (Y).
Here is how I solved mine:
First of all I think the issue arises when you try to use your device Camera on (SDK < 26) without FULL permissions.
Yes, even though you have already included this permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
To solve this issue I changed that to this:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"
android:required="true"
android:requiredFeature="true"/>
This information from the Android Docs, might be really helpful
If your application uses, but does not require a camera in order to function, instead set android:required to false. In doing so, Google Play will allow devices without a camera to download your application. It's then your responsibility to check for the availability of the camera at runtime by calling hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA_ANY). If a camera is not available, you should then disable your camera features.
In my case the problem was related to my emulator permissions ,
To fix the issue :
1- Go to Settings of your emulator.
2- Look for Apps and Notifications.
3- Click on Add Permission.
see the pic : https://i.stack.imgur.com/z4GfK.png
4- Select Camera of the list.
5- Look for your Application in the provided list.
6- Enable Camera.
see the pic : https://i.stack.imgur.com/dJ8wG.pngEnjoy
Now you can use your camera on your emulator :)
private String [] permissions = {"android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE", "android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION", "android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE", "android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW","android.permission.CAMERA"};
on your OnCreate add this:
int requestCode = 200;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
requestPermissions(permissions, requestCode);
}
As some have pointed out, one solution is removing the Camera Permission from AndroidManifest.xml, i.e., remove this line:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
However, that was not enough for me, as I needed the Camera Permission for something else in my app. So what worked for me was tagging that permission as not required, like this:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" android:required="false" />
short answer ...its looking for permissions , upon failing permissions it throws exception ; moreover in this case its looking for Two Permissions i.e. first Storage and second Camera.
long answer.....Give it the permissions write way to work on all Versions of Android.I am looping to get both permissions Storage and Camera, So that it will work with Intent.
maintain in AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.camera.any"
android:required="true" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus"
android:required="false" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
check or request permissions by
private void myStoragePermission() {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(Activity_Scan_QR.this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
myCameraPermission();
} else {
//changed here
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, REQUEST_WRITE_PERMISSION);
}
}
}
//+10 changed its sinature as Fragment; without it onRequestPermissionsResult won't bbe called
private void myCameraPermission() {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(Activity_Scan_QR.this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
takePicture();
} else {
//changed here
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA}, REQUEST_CAMERA_PERMISSION);
}
}
}
add onRequestPermissionsResult
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions, #NonNull int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
switch (requestCode) {
case REQUEST_WRITE_PERMISSION:
if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
myStoragePermission();
} else {
showSnackbar(R.string.act_ScanQR_txt13, R.string.settings,
new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
// Build intent that displays the App settings screen.
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(
Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
Uri uri = Uri.fromParts("package",
BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID, null);
intent.setData(uri);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
case REQUEST_CAMERA_PERMISSION:
if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
takePicture();
} else {
showSnackbar(R.string.act_ScanQR_txt14, R.string.settings,
new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
// Build intent that displays the App settings screen.
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(
Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
Uri uri = Uri.fromParts("package",
BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID, null);
intent.setData(uri);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
}
}
in above code takePicture(); is where I call for intent (start intent) , upon getting both the Storage and Camera permissions.
Don't get confused by reading a lot on error ;)
For future references, if someone encounters the problem in flutter related android projects:
https://github.com/apptreesoftware/flutter_barcode_reader/issues/32#issuecomment-420516729
In case anyone else get's this issue, my problem was that the app wasn't requesting any permissions when I ran it. It seems xiaomi devices automatically deny permissions to apps installed through adb. I just enabled the permissions through settings and it worked.
In case you need to keep
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
permission in manifest, just make sure it is granted before opening system camera.
In modern android, you can do that like this:
val cameraPermissionResult =
registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.RequestPermission()) { permitted ->
if (permitted) {
openSystemCamera()
}
}
You can use cameraPermissionResult as follows:
cameraPermissionResult.launch(Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
If your app has already that permission granted it will just call openSystemCamera() without any user action required.
In other case permission dialog will be shown and system camera will be opened based on permission user chooses.
I'm quite late but please check this because there's always some update
As per official developer page - https://developer.android.com/training/camera/photobasics, you don't need to use uses-permission in Manifest.xml instead use uses-feature :
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.camera"
android:required="false" />
Notice - it's uses-feature, not uses-permission ,
Check properly, if you are using uses-permission and uses-feature both at the same, possibly you will the same crash (this note is most important then updated content from official page, because i used both of the params at the same time and faced this crash, also when i started working on camera module in my app, i don't know why i wasn't faced this issue but now app just started crashing suddenly)
more info about android:required from developer page :
If your application uses, but does not require a camera in order to function, instead set android:required to false. In doing so, Google Play will allow devices without a camera to download your application. It's then your responsibility to check for the availability of the camera at runtime by calling hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA_ANY). If a camera is not available, you should then disable your camera features.
in your androidManifest, you have to add :
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
here is an full Manifest example of android camera project

WiFi direct returns P2P_UNSUPPORTED

I have a real android device (Android 4.1.1). Which supports applications like Xender, ShareIt, Zapya etc which uses WiFi Direct to transfer files.
But when I run my application, it says P2P_UNSUPPORTED.
My manifest permissions are....
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
My MainActivity.java is like this..
intentFilter.addAction(WifiManager.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION);
intentFilter.addAction(WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION);
intentFilter.addAction(WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_PEERS_CHANGED_ACTION);
intentFilter.addAction(WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_CONNECTION_CHANGED_ACTION);
intentFilter.addAction(WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_THIS_DEVICE_CHANGED_ACTION);
Receiver receiver=new Receiver();
registerReceiver(receiver,intentFilter);
WifiP2pManager manager=(WifiP2pManager)getSystemService(WIFI_P2P_SERVICE);
channel=manager.initialize(this, Looper.getMainLooper(),null);
manager.discoverPeers(channel, new WifiP2pManager.ActionListener() {
#Override
public void onSuccess() {
// Code for when the discovery initiation is successful goes here.
// No services have actually been discovered yet, so this method
// can often be left blank. Code for peer discovery goes in the
// onReceive method, detailed below.
}
#Override
public void onFailure(int reasonCode) {
// Code for when the discovery initiation fails goes here.
// Alert the user that something went wrong.
switch (reasonCode){
case WifiP2pManager.BUSY:Log.e("code","BUSY");break;
case WifiP2pManager.ERROR:Log.e("code","ERROR");break;
case WifiP2pManager.P2P_UNSUPPORTED:Log.e("code","P2P_UNSUPPORTED");break;
}
}
});
In the Log,, I get.
code﹕ P2P_UNSUPPORTED
And my BraodcastReceiver is like this..
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
//Log.e("intent",intent.getAction());
int state = intent.getIntExtra(WifiP2pManager.EXTRA_WIFI_STATE, -1);
Log.e("raw state", ""+state);
if (state == WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_STATE_ENABLED) {
Log.e("state", "ON");
} else if(state == WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_STATE_DISABLED) {
Log.e("state", "DISABLED "+ state);
}
}
And there i get the log as,,
raw state﹕ -1
NOTE : the variable state neither equals WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_STATE_ENABLED nor WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_STATE_DISABLED
It is possible that the applications that you have listed are able to use alternative transports other than Wi-Fi Direct. The P2P_UNSUPPORTED error implies that your device does not have the Wi-Fi Direct feature. You can try confirming this by executing the following: getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_WIFI_DIRECT). Alternatively, if your device has Wi-Fi Direct, you can access a Wi-Fi Direct settings activity from the Wi-Fi settings of your device.

Thankyou
hope this will help you (Y).
Here is how I solved mine:
First of all I think the issue arises when you try to use your device Camera on (SDK < 26) without FULL permissions.
Yes, even though you have already included this permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
To solve this issue I changed that to this:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"
android:required="true"
android:requiredFeature="true"/>
This information from the Android Docs, might be really helpful
If your application uses, but does not require a camera in order to function, instead set android:required to false. In doing so, Google Play will allow devices without a camera to download your application. It's then your responsibility to check for the availability of the camera at runtime by calling hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA_ANY). If a camera is not available, you should then disable your camera features.
In my case the problem was related to my emulator permissions ,
To fix the issue :
1- Go to Settings of your emulator.
2- Look for Apps and Notifications.
3- Click on Add Permission.

4- Select Camera of the list.
5- Look for your Application in the provided list.
6- Enable Camera.

Now you can use your camera on your emulator :)
private String [] permissions = {"android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE", "android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION", "android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE", "android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW","android.permission.CAMERA"};
on your OnCreate add this:
int requestCode = 200;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
requestPermissions(permissions, requestCode);
}
As some have pointed out, one solution is removing the Camera Permission from AndroidManifest.xml, i.e., remove this line:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
However, that was not enough for me, as I needed the Camera Permission for something else in my app. So what worked for me was tagging that permission as not required, like this:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" android:required="false" />
short answer ...its looking for permissions , upon failing permissions it throws exception ; moreover in this case its looking for Two Permissions i.e. first Storage and second Camera.
long answer.....Give it the permissions write way to work on all Versions of Android.I am looping to get both permissions Storage and Camera, So that it will work with Intent.
maintain in AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.camera.any"
android:required="true" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus"
android:required="false" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
check or request permissions by
private void myStoragePermission() {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(Activity_Scan_QR.this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
myCameraPermission();
} else {
//changed here
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, REQUEST_WRITE_PERMISSION);
}
}
}
//+10 changed its sinature as Fragment; without it onRequestPermissionsResult won't bbe called
private void myCameraPermission() {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(Activity_Scan_QR.this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
takePicture();
} else {
//changed here
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA}, REQUEST_CAMERA_PERMISSION);
}
}
}
add onRequestPermissionsResult
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions, #NonNull int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
switch (requestCode) {
case REQUEST_WRITE_PERMISSION:
if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
myStoragePermission();
} else {
showSnackbar(R.string.act_ScanQR_txt13, R.string.settings,
new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
// Build intent that displays the App settings screen.
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(
Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
Uri uri = Uri.fromParts("package",
BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID, null);
intent.setData(uri);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
case REQUEST_CAMERA_PERMISSION:
if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
takePicture();
} else {
showSnackbar(R.string.act_ScanQR_txt14, R.string.settings,
new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
// Build intent that displays the App settings screen.
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(
Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
Uri uri = Uri.fromParts("package",
BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID, null);
intent.setData(uri);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
}
}
in above code takePicture(); is where I call for intent (start intent) , upon getting both the Storage and Camera permissions.
Don't get confused by reading a lot on error ;)
For future references, if someone encounters the problem in flutter related android projects:
https://github.com/apptreesoftware/flutter_barcode_reader/issues/32#issuecomment-420516729
In case anyone else get's this issue, my problem was that the app wasn't requesting any permissions when I ran it. It seems xiaomi devices automatically deny permissions to apps installed through adb. I just enabled the permissions through settings and it worked.
In case you need to keep
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
permission in manifest, just make sure it is granted before opening system camera.
In modern android, you can do that like this:
val cameraPermissionResult =
registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.RequestPermission()) { permitted ->
if (permitted) {
openSystemCamera()
}
}
You can use cameraPermissionResult as follows:
cameraPermissionResult.launch(Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
If your app has already that permission granted it will just call openSystemCamera() without any user action required.
In other case permission dialog will be shown and system camera will be opened based on permission user chooses.
I'm quite late but please check this because there's always some update
As per official developer page - https://developer.android.com/training/camera/photobasics, you don't need to use uses-permission in Manifest.xml instead use uses-feature :
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.camera"
android:required="false" />
Notice - it's uses-feature, not uses-permission ,
Check properly, if you are using uses-permission and uses-feature both at the same, possibly you will the same crash (this note is most important then updated content from official page, because i used both of the params at the same time and faced this crash, also when i started working on camera module in my app, i don't know why i wasn't faced this issue but now app just started crashing suddenly)
more info about android:required from developer page :
If your application uses, but does not require a camera in order to function, instead set android:required to false. In doing so, Google Play will allow devices without a camera to download your application. It's then your responsibility to check for the availability of the camera at runtime by calling hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA_ANY). If a camera is not available, you should then disable your camera features.
in your androidManifest, you have to add :
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
here is an full Manifest example of android camera project
