Android debugging on real device - MissingPermissionException [duplicate]

In Lollipop, the download functionality works fine in my app, but when I upgraded to Marshmallow, my app crashes and gives this error when I try to download from the internet into the SD card:
Neither user nor current process has android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
It complains about this line of code:
DownloadManager manager = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
manager.enqueue(request);
I have the permissions in the manifest outside application:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
I cleaned and rebuilt the project, but it still crashes.

You should be checking if the user has granted permission of external storage by using:
if (checkSelfPermission(android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Log.v(TAG,"Permission is granted");
//File write logic here
return true;
}
If not, you need to ask the user to grant your app a permission:
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, REQUEST_CODE);
Of course these are for marshmallow devices only so you need to check if your app is running on Marshmallow:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
//do your check here
}
Be also sure that your activity implements OnRequestPermissionResult
The entire permission looks like this:
public boolean isStoragePermissionGranted() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
if (checkSelfPermission(android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
== PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Log.v(TAG,"Permission is granted");
return true;
} else {
Log.v(TAG,"Permission is revoked");
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 1);
return false;
}
}
else { //permission is automatically granted on sdk<23 upon installation
Log.v(TAG,"Permission is granted");
return true;
}
}
Permission result callback:
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
if(grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
Log.v(TAG,"Permission: "+permissions[0]+ "was "+grantResults[0]);
//resume tasks needing this permission
}
}

Android's permission system is one of the biggest security concern all
along since those permissions are asked for at install time. Once
installed, the application will be able to access all of things
granted without any user's acknowledgement what exactly application
does with the permission.
Android 6.0 Marshmallow introduces one of the largest changes to the
permissions model with the addition of runtime permissions, a new
permission model that replaces the existing install time permissions
model when you target API 23 and the app is running on an Android 6.0+
device
Courtesy goes to Requesting Permissions at Run Time .
Example
Declare this as Global
private static final int PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE = 1;
Add this in your onCreate() section
After setContentView(R.layout.your_xml);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23)
{
if (checkPermission())
{
// Code for above or equal 23 API Oriented Device
// Your Permission granted already .Do next code
} else {
requestPermission(); // Code for permission
}
}
else
{
// Code for Below 23 API Oriented Device
// Do next code
}
Now adding checkPermission() and requestPermission()
private boolean checkPermission() {
int result = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(Your_Activity.this, android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
if (result == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
private void requestPermission() {
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(Your_Activity.this, android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
Toast.makeText(Your_Activity.this, "Write External Storage permission allows us to do store images. Please allow this permission in App Settings.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(Your_Activity.this, new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE);
}
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE:
if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Log.e("value", "Permission Granted, Now you can use local drive .");
} else {
Log.e("value", "Permission Denied, You cannot use local drive .");
}
break;
}
}
FYI
onRequestPermissionsResult
This interface is the contract for receiving the results for
permission requests.

Check multiple Permission in API level 23
Step 1:
String[] permissions = new String[]{
Manifest.permission.INTERNET,
Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE,
Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
Manifest.permission.VIBRATE,
Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO,
};
Step 2:
private boolean checkPermissions() {
int result;
List<String> listPermissionsNeeded = new ArrayList<>();
for (String p : permissions) {
result = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, p);
if (result != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
listPermissionsNeeded.add(p);
}
}
if (!listPermissionsNeeded.isEmpty()) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, listPermissionsNeeded.toArray(new String[listPermissionsNeeded.size()]), 100);
return false;
}
return true;
}
Step 3:
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
if (requestCode == 100) {
if (grantResults.length > 0
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// do something
}
return;
}
}
Step 4:
in onCreate of Activity
checkPermissions();

Unless there is a definite requirement of writing on external storage, you can always choose to save files in app directory. In my case I had to save files and after wasting 2 to 3 days I found out if I change the storage path from
Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
to
getApplicationContext().getFilesDir().getPath() //which returns the internal app files directory path
it works like charm on all the devices.
This is because for writing on External storage you need extra permissions but writing in internal app directory is simple.

you need to use runtime permission in marshmallow
https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html
you can check in app info -> permission
is your app get permission for write external storage or not

From marshmallow version, developers need to ask for runtime permissions to user.
Let me give you whole process for asking runtime permissions.
I am using reference from here : marshmallow runtime permissions android.
First create a method which checks whether all permissions are given or not
private boolean checkAndRequestPermissions() {
int camerapermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA);
int writepermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
int permissionLocation = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
int permissionRecordAudio = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO);
List<String> listPermissionsNeeded = new ArrayList<>();
if (camerapermission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.CAMERA);
}
if (writepermission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
}
if (permissionLocation != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
}
if (permissionRecordAudio != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO);
}
if (!listPermissionsNeeded.isEmpty()) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, listPermissionsNeeded.toArray(new String[listPermissionsNeeded.size()]), REQUEST_ID_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);
return false;
}
return true;
}
Now here is the code which is run after above method. We will override onRequestPermissionsResult() method :
#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.CAMERA, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
perms.put(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
perms.put(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
perms.put(Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO, 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.CAMERA) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
&& perms.get(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
&& perms.get(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
&& perms.get(Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Log.d(TAG, "sms & location services permission granted");
// process the normal flow
Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, WelcomeActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
finish();
//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.CAMERA)
|| ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
|| ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
|| ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this, Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO)) {
showDialogOK("Service Permissions are required for this app",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
switch (which) {
case DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE:
checkAndRequestPermissions();
break;
case DialogInterface.BUTTON_NEGATIVE:
// proceed with logic by disabling the related features or quit the app.
finish();
break;
}
}
});
}
//permission is denied (and never ask again is checked)
//shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale will return false
else {
explain("You need to give some mandatory permissions to continue. Do you want to go to app settings?");
// //proceed with logic by disabling the related features or quit the app.
}
}
}
}
}
}
If user clicks on Deny option then showDialogOK() method will be used to show dialog
If user clicks on Deny and also clicks a checkbox saying "never ask again", then explain() method will be used to show dialog.
methods to show dialogs :
private void showDialogOK(String message, DialogInterface.OnClickListener okListener) {
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setMessage(message)
.setPositiveButton("OK", okListener)
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", okListener)
.create()
.show();
}
private void explain(String msg){
final android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog.Builder(this);
dialog.setMessage(msg)
.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface paramDialogInterface, int paramInt) {
// permissionsclass.requestPermission(type,code);
startActivity(new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS, Uri.parse("package:com.exampledemo.parsaniahardik.marshmallowpermission")));
}
})
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface paramDialogInterface, int paramInt) {
finish();
}
});
dialog.show();
}
Above code snippet asks for four permissions at a time. You can also ask for any number of permissions in your any activity as per your requirements.

The easiest way I found was
private boolean checkPermissions(){
if(ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return true;
}
else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, PERMISSION_CODE);
return false;
}
}

Add below code to your OnCreate() function in MainAcitivity, which will display pop up to ask for permission:
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(TestActivity.this,
Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)){
}
else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(TestActivity.this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
100);
}

if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(getActivity(),
Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
Log.d(TAG, "Permission granted");
} else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(getActivity(),
new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
100);
}
fab.setOnClickListener(v -> {
Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.refer_pic);
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("image/*");
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
String path = MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(requireActivity().getContentResolver(),
b, "Title", null);
Uri imageUri = Uri.parse(path);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, imageUri);
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Here is text");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share via"));
});

After lots of searching This code work for me:
Check the permission already has:
Check WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission Allowed or not?
if(isReadStorageAllowed()){
//If permission is already having then showing the toast
//Toast.makeText(SplashActivity.this,"You already have the permission",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//Existing the method with return
return;
}else{
requestStoragePermission();
}
private boolean isReadStorageAllowed() {
//Getting the permission status
int result = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
//If permission is granted returning true
if (result == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
return true;
//If permission is not granted returning false
return false;
}
//Requesting permission
private void requestStoragePermission(){
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this, android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)){
//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
}
//And finally ask for the permission
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},REQUEST_WRITE_STORAGE);
}
Implement Override onRequestPermissionsResult method for checking is the user allow or denie
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions, #NonNull int[] grantResults) {
//Checking the request code of our request
if(requestCode == REQUEST_WRITE_STORAGE){
//If permission is granted
if(grantResults.length >0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
//Displaying a toast
Toast.makeText(this,"Permission granted now you can read the storage",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}else{
//Displaying another toast if permission is not granted
Toast.makeText(this,"Oops you just denied the permission",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}

Before starting your download check your runtime permissions and if you don't have permission the request permissions like this method
requestStoragePermission()
private void requestStoragePermission(){
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this,
android.Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE))
{
}
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
STORAGE_PERMISSION_CODE);
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
#NonNull String[] permissions,
#NonNull int[] grantResults) {
if(requestCode == STORAGE_PERMISSION_CODE){
if(grantResults.length >0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
}
else{
Toast.makeText(this,
"Oops you just denied the permission",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}

In a simple way the permission can be granted using manifest.xml file, but it was ok till the api level 23 sdk version 6, after from here, if we want to get the permission we have to ask for the use to allow the permission which are needed.
Just add this code in the mainActivity.java
Override
public void onClick(View view) {
// Request the permission
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA},
PERMISSION_REQUEST_CAMERA);
Replace CAMERA or add with WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE if you want, and with the unique code.
new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA,
Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
101);
This is the simple code to get permission.

Android M and above location course and location fine returning permission granted true

I am trying to access the users locations and just sorting out the permission side of things. So my understanding is that on 23 and above regardless of the manifest the user must grant permission.
So I have it in the manifest like this for older versions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
For the newer >= 23 I am testing like this before showing a dialog:
// Check for runtime location permissions
private boolean hasRunTimeLocationPermission() {
int courseLocationPermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(),Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION);
return (courseLocationPermission == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED );
}
The way I understood it that should return false the first time but it is returning true.
Does the user actually have to disable location services or is it considered 'dangerous" and it have to be approved the first time?
Also I am using a new emulator api 23, when I look into location permissions it says no apps have requested location.
Thanks for your help

Try this.
// Check for runtime location permissions
private boolean hasRunTimeLocationPermission() {
int courseLocationPermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION);
return (courseLocationPermission == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED );
}

TRY THIS:
private boolean hasRunTimeLocationPermission() {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
{
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}

Check permissions like this :-
Check permissions like this :-
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(MainActivity.this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)) {
//Show Information about why you need the permission
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
builder.setTitle("Need Location Permission");
builder.setMessage("This app needs location permission.");
builder.setPositiveButton("Grant", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.cancel();
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION}, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION_CONSTANT);
}
});
builder.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.cancel();
}
});
builder.show();
} else if (permissionStatus.getBoolean(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,false)) {
//Previously Permission Request was cancelled with 'Dont Ask Again',
// Redirect to Settings after showing Information about why you need the permission
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
builder.setTitle("Need Location Permission");
builder.setMessage("This app needs location permission.");
builder.setPositiveButton("Grant", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.cancel();
sentToSettings = true;
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
Uri uri = Uri.fromParts("package", getPackageName(), null);
intent.setData(uri);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_PERMISSION_SETTING);
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Go to Permissions to Grant Location", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
builder.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.cancel();
}
});
builder.show();
} else {
//just request the permission
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION}, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION_CONSTANT);
}
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = permissionStatus.edit();
editor.putBoolean(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,true);
editor.commit();
} else {
//You already have the permission, just go ahead.
proceedAfterPermission();
}

Add this to Manifest even for api>23
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
And then ask for runtime permissions like this :-
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION},
1);
And to handle the restults, use this:-
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case 1: {
// If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
if (grantResults.length > 0
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// permission was granted, yay! Do the
} else {
// permission denied, boo!
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Permission denied to read your External storage", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
return;
}
}
}

Set all permissions for android app

What is the easiest/shortest way to assign all permissions to Android app ?
I need this because:
We are developing a proprietary app for android plug pc, which will be the only app that runs on the device on foreground. As we are planning for non-interrupting updates on the device I want to assign all permissions on the device during the very first installation itself.

It is better to manually give permissions to all in manifest file.
The link have all the permissions needed for an android app.

In recent time, from Marshmallow version ,android has provided requesting permission at runtime. So as soon as app starts for the first time you can ask for permissions from the user required for your app.So in your activity you can do this :
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
checkPermissionsAtOnce();
}
Then
private void checkPermissionsAtOnce(){
List<String> permissionsNeeded = new ArrayList<>();
final List<String> permissionsList = new ArrayList<>();
if (!addPermission(permissionsList, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION))
permissionsNeeded.add(getString(R.string.gps));
if(!addPermission(permissionsList, Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS))
permissionsNeeded.add(getString(R.string.send_sms));
if (!addPermission(permissionsList, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE))
permissionsNeeded.add(getString(R.string.write_external_storage));
if(!addPermission(permissionsList, Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE))
permissionsNeeded.add(getString(R.string.read_phone_state));
if(!addPermission(permissionsList, Manifest.permission.CAMERA))
permissionsNeeded.add(getString(R.string.use_camera));
if (permissionsList.size() > 0) {
if (permissionsNeeded.size() > 0) {
String message = getString(R.string.grad_access_to) + permissionsNeeded.get(0);
for (int i = 1; i < permissionsNeeded.size(); i++)
message = message + ", " + permissionsNeeded.get(i);
showMessageOKCancel(message,
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this,permissionsList.toArray(new String[permissionsList.size()]),
REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);
}
});
return;
}
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, permissionsList.toArray(new String[permissionsList.size()]),
REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);
return;
}
}
private void showMessageOKCancel(String message, DialogInterface.OnClickListener listener){
new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this)
.setMessage(message)
.setPositiveButton(R.string.ok, listener)
.setNegativeButton(R.string.cancel, null)
.create()
.show();
}
private boolean addPermission(List<String> permissionsList, String permission) {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this,permission) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
permissionsList.add(permission);
if (!ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(MainActivity.this, permission))
return false;
}
return true;
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS:
{
Map<String, Integer> perms = new HashMap<>();
perms.put(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
perms.put(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
perms.put(Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
perms.put(Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
for (int i = 0; i < permissions.length; i++)
perms.put(permissions[i], grantResults[i]);
if(perms.get(Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
permissionPhoneStateGranted = true;
}
/* if (perms.get(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
&& perms.get(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
&& perms.get(Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
&& perms.get(Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
}*/
}
break;
case REQUEST_CODE_ASK_PERMISSIONS_FOR_PHONE_STATE:
if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Permission Granted
permissionPhoneStateGranted = true;
} else {
// Permission Denied
permissionPhoneStateGranted = false;
}
break;
default:
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
}
}
You can take this sample as a reference and do implement in your application.Hope it helps you..

How to handle when user clicks on deny and checked the checkbox while asking for multiple permissions at a time in android 6.0

According to the runtime permissions documentation an app can check for runtime permissions and request permissions if it hasn't been granted already. So I was writing a program for handling run-time multiple permissions at a time. I did it correctly but unable to handle when the user clicks on deny and checked the check box of "never ask again". In this case I want to open the permission intent as shown in image 2. when the user opens my application next time.
I am unable to detect the case when user checks the check box "never ask again" and clicks on deny button.
Here is my code:
final private int REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS = 124;
private void insertDummyContactWrapper() {
List<String> permissionsNeeded = new ArrayList<String>();
final List<String> permissionsList = new ArrayList<String>();
if (!addPermission(permissionsList, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION))
permissionsNeeded.add("GPS");
if (!addPermission(permissionsList, Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS))
permissionsNeeded.add("Read Contacts");
if (!addPermission(permissionsList, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS))
permissionsNeeded.add("Write Contacts");
if (permissionsList.size() > 0) {
if (permissionsNeeded.size() > 0) {
// Need Rationale
String message = "You need to grant access to " + permissionsNeeded.get(0);
for (int i = 1; i < permissionsNeeded.size(); i++)
message = message + ", " + permissionsNeeded.get(i);
showMessageOKCancel(message,
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
requestPermissions(permissionsList.toArray(new String[permissionsList.size()]),
REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);
}
});
return;
}
requestPermissions(permissionsList.toArray(new String[permissionsList.size()]),
REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);
return;
}
insertDummyContact();
}
private boolean addPermission(List<String> permissionsList, String permission) {
if (checkSelfPermission(permission) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
permissionsList.add(permission);
// Check for Rationale Option
if (!shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(permission))
return false;
}
return true;
}
and here is my callback method
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS:
{
Map<String, Integer> perms = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
// Initial
perms.put(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
perms.put(Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
perms.put(Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
// Fill with results
for (int i = 0; i < permissions.length; i++)
perms.put(permissions[i], grantResults[i]);
// Check for ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
if (perms.get(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
&& perms.get(Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
&& perms.get(Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// All Permissions Granted
insertDummyContact();
} else {
// Permission Denied
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Some Permission is Denied", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
}
break;
default:
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);

Do not request for multiple permissions at the same time. This makes the user experience unpleasant. If the user clicks 'Do not ask again', since the checkbox is not shown the first time, it is probable that he doesn't want to use that feature of your application. But if he does try to use it, simply show a toast or snackbar that the feature can't be used since permission hasn't been granted by the user.
Programatically opening the permission screen isn't possible currently, and if you try, you'll get a security exception.

checkSelfPermission method is not working in targetSdkVersion 22

CheckSelfPermission method is not working as expected and it is always returning zero in android 6.0(Marshmallow). Because the target sdk is 22 and i am using http Client for network connection. Following is the code snippet.
private void insertDummyContactWrapper() {
List<String> permissionsNeeded = new ArrayList<String>();
final List<String> permissionsList = new ArrayList<String>();
if (!addPermission(permissionsList, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION))
permissionsNeeded.add("GPS");
if (!addPermission(permissionsList, Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS))
permissionsNeeded.add("Read Contacts");
if (!addPermission(permissionsList, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS))
permissionsNeeded.add("Write Contacts");
if (permissionsList.size() > 0) {
if (permissionsNeeded.size() > 0) {
// Need Rationale
String message = "You need to grant access to " + permissionsNeeded.get(0);
for (int i = 1; i < permissionsNeeded.size(); i++)
message = message + ", " + permissionsNeeded.get(i);
showMessageOKCancel(message,
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
requestPermissions(permissionsList.toArray(new String[permissionsList.size()]),
REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);
}
});
return;
}
requestPermissions(permissionsList.toArray(new String[permissionsList.size()]),
REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);
return;
}
insertDummyContact();
}
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
private boolean addPermission(List<String> permissionsList, String permission) {
if (checkSelfPermission(permission) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
permissionsList.add(permission);
// Check for Rationale Option
if (!shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(permission)) return false;
}
return true;
}
private void showMessageOKCancel(String message, DialogInterface.OnClickListener okListener) {
new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this)
.setMessage(message)
.setPositiveButton("OK", okListener)
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", null)
.create()
.show();
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS: {
Map<String, Integer> perms = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
// Initial
perms.put(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
perms.put(Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
perms.put(Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
// Fill with results
for (int i = 0; i < permissions.length; i++)
perms.put(permissions[i], grantResults[i]);
// Check for ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
if (perms.get(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && perms.get(Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && perms.get(Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// All Permissions Granted
insertDummyContact();
} else {
// Permission Denied
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Some Permission is Denied", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
}
break;
default:
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
}
}"

If your application is targeting API level before 23 (Android M) then both:
ContextCompat#checkSelfPermission and Context#checkSelfPermission won't work and always return 0 (PERMISSION_GRANTED). Even if you run the application on Android 6.0 (API 23).
It isn't fully true that if you targeting API level before 23 then you don't have to take care of permissions. If your application is targeting API level before 23 and target device Android version is:
Android < 6.0: Everything will be ok.
Android 6.0: Application's run-time permissions will be granted by default (compatibility mode applies), but the user can change run-time permissions in Android Settings, then you may have problems.
As I said in the 1st point, if you targeting API level before 23 on Android 6.0 then ContextCompat#checkSelfPermission and Context#checkSelfPermission won't work.
Fortunately you can use PermissionChecker#checkSelfPermission to check run-time permissions.
Example code:
public boolean selfPermissionGranted(String permission) {
// For Android < Android M, self permissions are always granted.
boolean result = true;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
if (targetSdkVersion >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
// targetSdkVersion >= Android M, we can
// use Context#checkSelfPermission
result = context.checkSelfPermission(permission)
== PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED;
} else {
// targetSdkVersion < Android M, we have to use PermissionChecker
result = PermissionChecker.checkSelfPermission(context, permission)
== PermissionChecker.PERMISSION_GRANTED;
}
}
return result;
}
To get target Sdk Version you can use:
try {
final PackageInfo info = context.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(
context.getPackageName(), 0);
targetSdkVersion = info.applicationInfo.targetSdkVersion;
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
It works on Nexus 5 with Android M.

The method Context#checkSelfPermission(String) was added to the API 23. Also below API 23 it's pointless as the permission is always granted. Make a check for the API version before handling the permissions
private void insertDummyContactWrapper() {
// the only way we insert the dummy contact if if we are below M.
// Else we continue on and prompt the user for permissions
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
insertDummyContact();
return;
}
List<String> permissionsNeeded = new ArrayList<String>();
final List<String> permissionsList = new ArrayList<String>();
if (!addPermission(permissionsList, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION))
permissionsNeeded.add("GPS");
if (!addPermission(permissionsList, Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS))
permissionsNeeded.add("Read Contacts");
if (!addPermission(permissionsList, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS))
permissionsNeeded.add("Write Contacts");
if (permissionsList.size() > 0) {
if (permissionsNeeded.size() > 0) {
// Need Rationale
String message = "You need to grant access to " + permissionsNeeded.get(0);
for (int i = 1; i < permissionsNeeded.size(); i++)
message = message + ", " + permissionsNeeded.get(i);
showMessageOKCancel(message,
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
requestPermissions(permissionsList.toArray(new String[permissionsList.size()]),
REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);
}
});
return;
}
requestPermissions(permissionsList.toArray(new String[permissionsList.size()]),
REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);
}
}

When targeting an API level before 23, a compatibility mode applies. The old permission behavior is running, even on devices running Android 6. To use the new permission system, you have to target API 23 (or higher in the future).
The full behavior is specified on the documentation: https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html
