I am implementing Access Location from user.Following is my Code. My problem is When I am clicking on Location permission it not getting the location.Bt when i am manually turn on the location from setting after that it giving me the location.My requirement is i Want compulsory check the Location permission from my App i.e. (it goes to setting and turn on location) .I gave all Permission in AndroidMeanifest file.And following is my SpashScreen.

Use the code below it will open a location request dialog and then you will be able to get the location.
if (googleApiClient == null) {
googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(getActivity())
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this).build();
googleApiClient.connect();
LocationRequest locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
locationRequest.setInterval(30 * 1000);
locationRequest.setFastestInterval(5 * 1000);
LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
.addLocationRequest(locationRequest);
builder.setAlwaysShow(true);
PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result =
LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(googleApiClient, builder.build());
result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult>() {
#Override
public void onResult(LocationSettingsResult result) {
final Status status = result.getStatus();
final LocationSettingsStates state = result.getLocationSettingsStates();
switch (status.getStatusCode()) {
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SUCCESS:
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
try {
status.startResolutionForResult(
getActivity(), 1000);
} catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
}
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
break;
}
}
});
}

How to show different dialog messages for different Permissions?

I have implemented runtime permission in my project mainly READ_PHONE_STATE,READ_CONTACTS,GET_ACCOUNTS. Let suppose user denies 2 out of 3 then i have to show single dialog messages about each denied permission.How do i do that
code:-
PermissionManager.with(this)
.key(2100)
.permission(PermissionEnum.READ_PHONE_STATE, PermissionEnum.READ_CONTACTS, PermissionEnum.GET_ACCOUNTS, PermissionEnum.READ_SMS, PermissionEnum.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, PermissionEnum.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, PermissionEnum.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, PermissionEnum.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
.askAgain(true)
.askAgainCallback(new AskAgainCallback() {
/*Callback to handle denied permission response*/
#Override
public void showRequestPermission(UserResponse response) {
showDialog(response);
}
})
.callback(new SmartCallback() {
/* To handle the result of permissions after all successful/ unsuccessful user transactions*/
#Override
public void result(boolean allPermissionsGranted, boolean somePermissionsDeniedForever) {
if (allPermissionsGranted) {
init();
} else {
finish();
}
}
})
.ask();
to show dialog:-
private void showDialog(final AskAgainCallback.UserResponse response) {
new AlertDialog.Builder(Splash.this)
.setTitle("Permission needed")
.setMessage("This app really need to use these permissions, do you want to authorize it?")
.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {
response.result(true);
}
})
.setNegativeButton("NOT NOW", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {
response.result(false);
finish();
}
})
.setCancelable(false)
.show();
}
But need to show single message in dialog for each denied permission.

String Permissions array
final String[] permisions = {Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION};
Request Permissions
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, permisions, Permissions_Request_Code);
3 . #Override Method
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions, #NonNull int[] grantResults)
InSide onRequestPermissionsResult you will get grantResults array
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions, #NonNull int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) { // RequestCode for our Permissions
case Permissions_Request_Code:
if (grantResults.length != 0) { // Check Granted Results Not Null
if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { // Permission Granted for Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
// DO What You Want
} else// Permission Denied for Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
{
// Display Error Dialog
}
if (grantResults[1] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {// Permission Granted for Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
// DO What You Want
} else // Permission Denied for Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
{
// Display Error Dialog
}
}
break;
}
}

shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale not working as expected

I'm working on checking and getting permission from user with API level 23 and above. So here is a confusing thing for me, android.com says:
shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale() method returns true if the app has requested this permission previously and the user denied the request.
If the user turned down the permission request in the past and chose the Don't ask again option in the permission request system dialog, this method returns false
in other side it gives following code for checking permission and request permission if its neccessery
// Here, thisActivity is the current activity
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity,
Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Should we show an explanation?
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(thisActivity,
Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS)) {
// Show an explanation to the user *asynchronously* -- don't block
// this thread waiting for the user's response! After the user
// sees the explanation, try again to request the permission.
} else {
// No explanation needed, we can request the permission.
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(thisActivity,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS},
MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS);
// MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS is an
// app-defined int constant. The callback method gets the
// result of the request.
}
}
else scope in above example runs if user doesn't allow permission and check Don't Ask Again, Right? So with this code user never being asked for permission at first time run. I tested that code and the result is what I expected.
So How could I request permission for first time run and do something if user previously denied my request and do something if user deny my request and check Don't Ask Again?

You can do the following.
Ask permission every time by only checking that permission is not granted already. Don't handle the "Don't ask again" in this method. (if user checks "Don't ask again" the OS will automatically handle and will not ask for permission again and will give a call back of permission denied)
Handle the ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale() in the call back method onRequestPermissionsResult().
Here is my code in which I am asking for permission everytime
public void checkAndAskCameraPermission() {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.CAMERA) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(context,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA}, CAMERA_PERMISSION_REQUEST_ID);
}
}
This is how I handles the call back
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case CAMERA_PERMISSION_REQUEST_ID: {
if (!ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA)) {
// Do something if permission is not granted and the user has also checked the **"Don't ask again"**
} else if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED) {
// Do something if permission not granted
}
}
}
}

first check if the permission is granted then do what you need
else if permission is denied then check weather you should request the permission you need or not through shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale.
if shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale return false then you can just show a message to the user to told them to enable the permission manually.
other then if shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale return true then request the permission and get the result of granting permission in onRequestPermissionsResult
update , this is just a simple code to show the steps:
if (checkSelfPermission == granted){
// do what you want
} else if (shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale == true) {
// you can request the permission you want from the user, then check whether permission granted or not inside onRequestPermissionsResult method
} else {
// here you know the permission is not granted , and also the user check on "Dont ask Again!" checkbox, so all you can to do is just tell the user to enable the permission manually from app permissions through Toast message or any thing else
}

#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//initilize your views
if(iscontactsAllowed){
// do your code here
} else {
requestcontactsPermission();
}
}
private void requestcontactsPermission() {
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this, android.Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS)) {
//If the user has denied the permission previously your code will come to this block
//Here you can explain why you need this permission
//Explain here why you need this permission
Log.d("scancode", "denied permission before");
}
Log.d("perm", "fourth");
//And finally ask for the permission
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS}, READ_CONTACTS_CODE /*can be any interge */);
}
private boolean iscontactsAllowed() {
//Getting the permission status
int result = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS);
//If permission is granted returning true
if (result == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
return true;
//If permission is not granted returning false
return false;
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions, #NonNull int[] grantResults) {
//Checking the request code of our request
if(requestCode == READ_CONTACTS_CODE){
if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// you have the permission call yur method here
} else {
// permission denied show user why you need it or ask again by calling reuestpermission if you need the permission
}
}

What I have found is that shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale only returns true if the user has denied permission (at least once) and not selected "Don't Ask Again". Meaning, it won't be displayed on the first time the permission is requested either.

I want to re ask the permission to the user in the situation if he/she deny for the first time. I have set the permission but my app runs even if I press deny option. I have a code which should do the things which I want to do but I get Cant resolve symbol Snackbar when I hit Alt+Enter it created another activity and remaining -make and -permision_available_camera gets red error.

Try this
Basically here we are trying to read the content from the External Storage. For that, we have to ask the user for runtime permission. If the user allows it's fine, but if the user denies the permission it will display a second dialog/message box until the user accepts the permission
Asking for permission
If the user denies it will display the 'Permission Needed' dialog whenever the user launches the application
If the user presses the OK button it will ask permission again.

Location Permission Dialog not showing up properly in an activity

I have a location button in the ActionBar. On clicking that it will load up the given function cityLocation() .
The code executes as follows
When pressed for the first time it asks for location permission
If accepted it runs showCity() , else it pops up a Toast
If clicked again after rejecting, it executes the shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale() part (PS. I did not click Do not show again)
Anyway this was only the second time I had clicked the button and instead of asking me the location permission (with the do not show again checkbox) again, it executes the shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale() part.
I want the code to ask for location permission with the do not ask again checkbox, if the permission was rejected for the first time, and then if I reject it again (with the checkbox) and then click the actionbar item, then it should run the the MaterialDialog.Builder code.
Here's the code I'm having right now :
private void cityLocation() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(WeatherActivity.this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(WeatherActivity.this,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)) {
MaterialDialog dialog;
MaterialDialog.Builder builder = new MaterialDialog.Builder(this);
builder.title("Permission needed")
.content("This Action Requires the Location Setting to be enabled. Go to Settings and check the Location Permission inside the Permissions View")
.positiveText("SETTINGS")
.negativeText("CANCEL")
.onPositive(new MaterialDialog.SingleButtonCallback() {
#Override
public void onClick(#NonNull MaterialDialog dialog, #NonNull DialogAction which) {
final Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
i.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + getApplicationContext().getPackageName()));
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS);
startActivity(i);
}
})
.onNegative(new MaterialDialog.SingleButtonCallback() {
#Override
public void onClick(#NonNull MaterialDialog dialog, #NonNull DialogAction which) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
dialog = builder.build();
dialog.show();
}
else
requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION},
READ_COARSE_LOCATION);
} else {
showCity();
}
}
else {
showCity();
}
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
#NonNull String[] permissions,
#NonNull int[] grantResults) {
if (requestCode == READ_COARSE_LOCATION
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
showCity();
}
else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext() , "Denied Location Permission" , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
Waiting for a solution.

here is the Full runtime permisssion check code:
private void cityLocation() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
if (!checkIfAlreadyhavePermission()) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION}, READ_COARSE_LOCATION);
} else {
showCity();
}
} else {
showCity();
}
}
private boolean checkIfAlreadyhavePermission() {
int result = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION);
return result == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED;
}
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case READ_COARSE_LOCATION: {
// If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
if (grantResults.length > 0
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
showCity();
} else {
permission_denied();
}
break;
}
// other 'case' lines to check for other
// permissions this app might request
}
}
public void permission_denied() {
// permission was not granted
//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(WeatherActivity.this,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)) {
showDialogOK("Permission is required for register",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
switch (which) {
case DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE:
showCity();
break;
case DialogInterface.BUTTON_NEGATIVE:
// proceed with logic by disabling the related features or quit the app.
break;
}
}
});
} //permission is denied (and never ask again is checked)
//shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale will return false
else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Go to settings and enable External storage permissions", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
showMaterialDialog();
}
}
public void showMaterialDialog() {
MaterialDialog dialog;
MaterialDialog.Builder builder = new MaterialDialog.Builder(this);
builder.title("Permission needed")
.content("This Action Requires the Location Setting to be enabled. Go to Settings and check the Location Permission inside the Permissions View")
.positiveText("SETTINGS")
.negativeText("CANCEL")
.onPositive(new MaterialDialog.SingleButtonCallback() {
#Override
public void onClick(#NonNull MaterialDialog dialog, #NonNull DialogAction which) {
final Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
i.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + getApplicationContext().getPackageName()));
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS);
startActivity(i);
}
})
.onNegative(new MaterialDialog.SingleButtonCallback() {
#Override
public void onClick(#NonNull MaterialDialog dialog, #NonNull DialogAction which) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
dialog = builder.build();
dialog.show();
}
private void showDialogOK(String message, DialogInterface.OnClickListener okListener) {
new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity())
.setMessage(message)
.setPositiveButton("OK", okListener)
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", okListener)
.create()
.show();
}
it will show a dialog if user denies the permission ...
if user also check never ask again it will show the material dialog ..
If user grant the permission it will perform the required function..

If you have selected the checkbox neverAskAgain in the permission Dialog, then
ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale()
method will return false. so your logic of again showing a material dialog will not work if you keep it inside the if block.
if you have to show it again, do it in the else block.
