I tried to implement request permissions for writing and reading from storage. Everything worked good but today Android showed me that the method onRequestPermissionsResult(...) is deprecated. There are so many questions about this topic in StackOverflow, but unfortunately, they are outdated.
I called the methods below in a fragment.
It was suggested simply to call:
requestPermissions(new String[] {Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
StorageKeys.STORAGE_PERMISSION_CODE)
instead of my approach:
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(getActivity(),
new String[] {Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
StorageKeys.STORAGE_PERMISSION_CODE))
But both of them show that onRequestPermissionsResult(...) is deprecated.
Here is my onRequestPermissionsResult(...)-method:
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions,
#NonNull int[] grantResults) {
if (requestCode == StorageKeys.STORAGE_PERMISSION_CODE) {
if (grantResults.length > 0
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
exportBibTex.createBibFile();
exportBibTex.writeBibFile(exportBibTex
.getBibDataLibrary(libraryModel, bookDao, noteDao));
Toast.makeText(getContext(),
getString(R.string.exported_file_stored_in) + '\n'
+ File.separator + StorageKeys.DOWNLOAD_FOLDER + File.separator + fileName
+ StorageKeys.BIB_FILE_TYPE, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(getContext(), R.string.storage_permission_denied,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
Here is a simple alert dialog, in which I call the onRequestPermissionsResult(...):
private void showRequestPermissionDialog() {
AlertDialog.Builder reqAlertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(getContext());
reqAlertDialog.setTitle(R.string.storage_permission_needed);
reqAlertDialog.setMessage(R.string.storage_permission_alert_msg);
reqAlertDialog.setPositiveButton(R.string.ok,
(dialog, which) -> ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(getActivity(),
new String[] {Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
StorageKeys.STORAGE_PERMISSION_CODE));
reqAlertDialog.setNegativeButton(R.string.cancel,
(dialog, which) -> dialog.dismiss());
reqAlertDialog.create().show();
}
Is there any alternative for onRequestPermissionsResult(...), that I can use?
The onRequestPermissionsResult() method is deprecated in androidx.fragment.app.Fragment.
So you may use registerForActivityResult() method instead of onRequestPermissionsResult().
You can refer this URL.
Following is Kotlin code, but you can refer it:
val requestPermissionLauncher = registerForActivityResult(
ActivityResultContracts.RequestPermission()
) { isGranted ->
if (isGranted) {
// PERMISSION GRANTED
} else {
// PERMISSION NOT GRANTED
}
}
// Ex. Launching ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission.
private fun startLocationPermissionRequest() {
requestPermissionLauncher.launch(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
}
I added java code from following URL.
How to get a permission request in new ActivityResult API (1.3.0-alpha05)?
private ActivityResultLauncher<String> requestPermissionLauncher = registerForActivityResult(
new ActivityResultContracts.RequestPermission(),
new ActivityResultCallback<Boolean>() {
#Override
public void onActivityResult(Boolean result) {
if (result) {
// PERMISSION GRANTED
} else {
// PERMISSION NOT GRANTED
}
}
}
);
// Ex. Launch the permission window -- this is in onCreateView()
floatingActionButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
requestPermissionLauncher.launch(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
}
});
You can also request multiple permissions:
val requestMultiplePermissions = registerForActivityResult(
ActivityResultContracts.RequestMultiplePermissions()
) { permissions ->
permissions.entries.forEach {
Log.d("DEBUG", "${it.key} = ${it.value}")
}
}
requestMultiplePermissions.launch(
arrayOf(
Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
)
)
A simple way in Kotlin
import android.Manifest
import android.content.Context
import android.content.pm.PackageManager
import android.os.Build
import androidx.activity.result.contract.ActivityResultContracts
import androidx.core.app.ActivityCompat
import androidx.fragment.app.Fragment
class MyFragment : Fragment() {
companion object {
val TAG: String = MyFragment::class.java.simpleName
var PERMISSIONS = arrayOf(
Manifest.permission.CAMERA,
Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
)
}
private val permReqLauncher =
registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.RequestMultiplePermissions()) { permissions ->
val granted = permissions.entries.all {
it.value == true
}
if (granted) {
displayCameraFragment()
}
}
private fun takePhoto() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
displayCameraFragment()
return
}
activity?.let {
if (hasPermissions(activity as Context, PERMISSIONS)) {
displayCameraFragment()
} else {
permReqLauncher.launch(
PERMISSIONS
)
}
}
}
// util method
private fun hasPermissions(context: Context, permissions: Array<String>): Boolean = permissions.all {
ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, it) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
}
private fun displayCameraFragment() {
// open camera fragment
}
}
Alternative registerForActivityResult
Example use:
private fun permissionSetup() {
val permission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(
requireContext(), Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS)
if (permission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
permissionsResultCallback.launch(Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS)
} else {
println("Permission isGranted")
}
}
private val permissionsResultCallback = registerForActivityResult(
ActivityResultContracts.RequestPermission()){
when (it) {
true -> { println("Permission has been granted by user") }
false -> {
Toast.makeText(requireContext(), "Permission denied", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
dialog.dismiss()
}
}
}
Register the permissions callback in your activity or fragment. which handle user permission
Example-Storage permission
private final ActivityResultLauncher<String> requestPermissionLauncher = registerForActivityResult(
new ActivityResultContracts.RequestPermission(),
result -> {
if (result) {
//Permission granted
} else {
//permission denied
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(activity, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
//show permission snackbar
} else {
//display error dialog
}
}
});
Ask for the permission.The registered ActivityResultCallback gets the result of this request.
if (checkSelfPermission(activity, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PermissionChecker.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
requestPermissionLauncher.launch(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
} else {
//Permission already granted
}
This works for me - (kotlin):
private fun checkPermissions() {
if (mContext?.let {
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(
it,
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
)
} != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Log.d(TAG, "Request Permissions")
requestMultiplePermissions.launch(
arrayOf(READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE))
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "Permission Already Granted")
}
}
private val requestMultiplePermissions =
registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.RequestMultiplePermissions()) { permissions ->
permissions.entries.forEach {
Log.d(TAG, "${it.key} = ${it.value}")
}
if (permissions[READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE] == true && permissions[WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE] == true) {
Log.d(TAG, "Permission granted")
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "Permission not granted")
}
}
Most of the answers address the OP requirement. But I have found few things that are missing so I thought to provide a complete example (in Koltin)
class ProfileFragment : Fragment(){
private lateinit var permissionRequest : ActivityResultLauncher<Array<String>>
companion object {
val LOCATION_PERMISSIONS = arrayOf(
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
)
}
private fun getGpsLocation() {
if(activity != null){
permissionRequest.launch(LOCATION_PERMISSIONS)
}
}
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
binding.locBtn.setOnClickListener { getGpsLocation() }
}
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
registerPermissionRequest()
}
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View {
binding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(inflater, R.layout.fragment_profile, container, false)
return binding.root
}
private fun registerPermissionRequest(){
var permissionCount = 0
permissionRequest = registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.RequestMultiplePermissions()) { permissions ->
permissions.entries.forEach {
if(it.value){
permissionCount++
}
}
if(permissionCount == 2){
getMyLocation()
}
}
}
}
The things that are missing are
A)Fragments must call registerForActivityResult() before they are created (i.e. initialization, onAttach(), or onCreate()). Other wise it won't work and the app would crash.
Error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Fragment ProfileFragment{bf12414} (210ad5a1-3286-4586-a48f-deac1d8e3eef
id=0x7f09008b) is attempting to registerForActivityResult after being
created. Fragments must call registerForActivityResult() before they
are created (i.e. initialization, onAttach(), or onCreate()).
B) It is recommended to request permission when it is really needed. In my example when user clicks on Button with id locBtn, permission dialog is shown rather than showing when activity/fragment is created.
Please refer to the official documentation: https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting
Review the following, which can be found in the documentation.
// Register the permissions callback, which handles the user's response to the
// system permissions dialog. Save the return value, an instance of
// ActivityResultLauncher. You can use either a val, as shown in this snippet,
// or a lateinit var in your onAttach() or onCreate() method.
val requestPermissionLauncher =
registerForActivityResult(RequestPermission()
) { isGranted: Boolean ->
if (isGranted) {
// Permission is granted. Continue the action or workflow in your
// app.
} else {
// Explain to the user that the feature is unavailable because the
// features requires a permission that the user has denied. At the
// same time, respect the user's decision. Don't link to system
// settings in an effort to convince the user to change their
// decision.
}
}
After which, launch the request
when {
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(
CONTEXT,
Manifest.permission.REQUESTED_PERMISSION
) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED -> {
// You can use the API that requires the permission.
}
//Is not needed for it to work, but is a good practice as it plays a role
//in letting user know why the permission is needed.
shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(...) -> {
// In an educational UI, explain to the user why your app requires this
// permission for a specific feature to behave as expected. In this UI,
// include a "cancel" or "no thanks" button that allows the user to
// continue using your app without granting the permission.
showInContextUI(...)
}
else -> {
// You can directly ask for the permission.
// The registered ActivityResultCallback gets the result of this request.
requestPermissionLauncher.launch(
Manifest.permission.REQUESTED_PERMISSION)
}
}
Suppose we need to take some permissions like audio and camera. Then we can put it on a variable of array.
private val REQUESTED_PERMISSIONS =
arrayOf(Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO, Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
This registerForActivityResult invoke when we launch with multiple permission array.
private val requestMultiplePermissions = registerForActivityResult(
ActivityResultContracts.RequestMultiplePermissions()
) { permissions ->
permissions.entries.forEach {
Log.d("DEBUG", "${it.key} = ${it.value}")
if (!it.value){
return#registerForActivityResult
}
}
init()
}
Now we make a function to check permission is already granted or not.
private fun checkSelfPermission(): Boolean {
return !(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(
requireContext(),
REQUESTED_PERMISSIONS[0]
) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED ||
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(
requireContext(),
REQUESTED_PERMISSIONS[1]
) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
}
Now we check permission is granted or not from onCreate method. If permission is not granted then we invoke requestMultiplePermissions.launch(REQUESTED_PERMISSIONS) like
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
if (!checkSelfPermission()) {
requestMultiplePermissions.launch(REQUESTED_PERMISSIONS)
}
}
You can use some external library for permission handling to reduce some boilerplate code. I use Dexter library. Rx Permissions is also good choice if you are using RxJava2.
Try this in in your pubspec.yamal under flutter section:
plugin:
androidPackage: com.ly.permission
pluginClass: PermissionPlugin
It works with me.
Even though I allow location access within the virtual phone it is stuck on "You need to grant permission to access location".
override fun onRequestPermissionsResult(
requestCode: Int, permissions: Array<out String>, grantResults: IntArray
) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults)
when (requestCode) {
1000 -> {
if (grantResults.isNotEmpty() &&
grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// permission granted
} else {
// permission denied
Toast.makeText(this, "You need to grant permission to access location",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
}
}
Any ideas?
Location Permission for Api level 31 is a bit different.
Location permission for API level 31
You can use a library called EasyPermissions to make your life easier.
#AfterPermissionGranted(REQUEST_LOCATION_PERMISSION)
public void requestLocationPermission() {
String[] perms = {Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION};
if(EasyPermissions.hasPermissions(this, perms)) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Permission already granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else {
EasyPermissions.requestPermissions(this, "Please grant the location permission", REQUEST_LOCATION_PERMISSION, perms);
}
}
Easy Permission implementation
I'm trying to get a Write_external_storage permission at the beginning of app work. But I can't see permission box. Here is my code:
override fun onStart() {
.....
if (Singleton.isPermissionGranted(this)) {
btn_submit_t.isEnabled
} else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, arrayOf(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE), 1)
}
super.onStart()
}
and then I added onRequestPermissionsResult:
override fun onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode: Int, permissions: Array<out String>, grantResults: IntArray) {
when (requestCode) {
1 -> {
if (grantResults.isNotEmpty() && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Log.i("m","permission_is_granted")
// permission was granted, yay! Do the
// contacts-related task you need to do.
} else {
// permission denied, boo! Disable the
// functionality that depends on this permission.
Toast.makeText(this, "Permission denied to read your External storage", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
Handler().postDelayed({
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
if(checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
== PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
//your permission is granted
} else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, arrayOf(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE), 1)
}
}
else {
//permission is automatically granted on devices lower than android M upon installation
}
//ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, arrayOf(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE), 1)
}, 100)
}
return
}
}
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults)
}
I tested it on different devices, and my problem appears on Xiaomi device with Android 6.0.1 version. I also added checking but it didn't help me. Where can be the problem?
Have u added "WRITE EXTERNAL STORAGE" permission in Manifest File?
I followed the simple steps to ask for multiple permissions at once, here is my code for the permission request:
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
private val permissionCode = 100
}
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
getPermissions()
}
fun getPermissions() {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
this,
arrayOf(Manifest.permission.NFC, Manifest.permission.INTERNET),
permissionCode
)
}
override fun onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode: Int, permissions: Array<out String>, grantResults: IntArray) {
when (requestCode) {
permissionCode -> {
if (grantResults.isNotEmpty() && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Permission granted
Toast.makeText(this, "Permissions granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
} else {
// Permission denied
Toast.makeText(this, "Permission denied", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
}
}
When I am starting the app I dont get any dialog to accept or deny the permissions and just get the toast "Permissions granted" but if I check the permissions in the app info I dont see any permissions granted. What I am doing wrong? Can someone help me?
Neither INTERNET nor NFC are permissions that need to be requested at runtime. Just having them in the manifest (via <uses-permission> elements) is sufficient.
Only permissions with a protection level of dangerous need to be requested at runtime — this table lists those. INTERNET and NFC are normal permissions, not dangerous.
I tried to call the phone intent on Kotlin, like this:
imgPhone.setOnClick {
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:" + "1122334455"))
startActivity(intent)
}
When the phone image is clicked, nothing visually happens. Turns out the debugger showed you this:
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent {
act=android.intent.action.CALL dat=tel:xxxxxxxxxx
cmp=com.android.server.telecom/.components.UserCallActivity }
I've tried several solutions:
Put this line in AndroidManifest.xml:
< uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"/>
Add android:exported="true" at the activity on which the call intent is
invoked:
< activity android:name=".activities.ProfileActivity" android:exported="true"/>
Ask permission explicitely:
override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
/*
more codes here
*/
setupPermissions()
}
fun setupPermissions() {
val permission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE)
if (permission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Log.i("Error", "Permission to call denied")
}
}
So far, none of those workarounds work (on Android 6). The same SecurityException still occurs. What is the proper solution, then?
In Marshmallow you have to request permission during runtime, just in the manifest is not enough. On the option (3) you wrote you almost did it. There you're only checking for permission, but not asking for it.
The official docs is this: https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting
The code will be something similar to this:
fun checkPermission() {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Permission is not granted
// Should we show an explanation?
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this,
Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE)) {
// 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(this,
arrayOf(Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE),
42)
}
} else {
// Permission has already been granted
callPhone()
}
}
override fun onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode: Int,
permissions: Array<String>, grantResults: IntArray) {
if (requestCode == 42) {
// If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
if ((grantResults.isNotEmpty() && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)) {
// permission was granted, yay!
callPhone()
} else {
// permission denied, boo! Disable the
// functionality
}
return
}
}
fun callPhone(){
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:" + "1122334455"))
startActivity(intent)
}
And don't forget you also need it on the manifest.
And you can remove that exported from your activity, that's pointless.
I hope it helps!
