Flutter grant permission

I struggle to ask ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION on a XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 4 which is running Android 6.0.
I tried to use geocoder and location. It works on iphone and a samsung on Android 8 (don't know the name).
TL;DR : the permission is never ask and not visible in app settings and Xiaomi.
Here is my code:
Android
import android.Manifest;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat;
import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat;
import java.util.Arrays;
import io.flutter.app.FlutterActivity;
import io.flutter.plugin.common.MethodCall;
import io.flutter.plugin.common.MethodChannel;
import io.flutter.plugins.GeneratedPluginRegistrant;
public class MainActivity extends FlutterActivity {
private static final String CHANNEL_GPS = "runtimepermission/access_fine_location";
private PermissionCallback getAccessFineLocationPermissionCallback;
private boolean rationaleJustShown = false;
private static final int GET_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUEST_ID = 1234;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
GeneratedPluginRegistrant.registerWith(this);
new MethodChannel(getFlutterView(), CHANNEL_GPS).setMethodCallHandler(
new MethodChannel.MethodCallHandler() {
#Override
public void onMethodCall(MethodCall call, final MethodChannel.Result result) {
getAccessFineLocationPermissionCallback = new PermissionCallback() {
#Override
public void granted() {
rationaleJustShown = false;
result.success(0);
}
#Override
public void denied() {
rationaleJustShown = false;
result.success(1);
}
};
if (call.method.equals("hasPermission")) {
askPermission();
}
}
});
}
private void askPermission() {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
GET_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUEST_ID);
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
System.out.println("requestCode:" + requestCode);
for (int grantResult : grantResults) {
System.out.println("grandResult[i]:" + grantResult);
}
switch (requestCode) {
case GET_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUEST_ID:
if (grantResults.length > 0
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
getAccessFineLocationPermissionCallback.granted();
} else {
getAccessFineLocationPermissionCallback.denied();
}
return;
}
}
public interface PermissionCallback {
void granted();
void denied();
}
Flutter:
static const _methodChannel = const MethodChannel('runtimepermission/access_fine_location');
Future<PermissionState> canGetLocation() async {
try {
final int result = await _methodChannel.invokeMethod('hasPermission');
return new Future.value(PermissionState.values.elementAt(result));
} on PlatformException catch (e) {
print('Exception ' + e.toString());
}
return new Future.value(PermissionState.DENIED);
}
It throws a PlatformException with an error message: The user explicitly denied the use of location services for this app or location services are currently disabled in Settings.
On the phone, the popup never shows up, and the permission is not displayed in settings > installed app > my app > permissions
Can you help me ?
Thanks.

Cache problem.
If you're experiencing odd problems like I had, clean the cache :)

Had the same problem. I was able to solve mine by enabling the app to auto init and dont optimize battery. It seems to be a xiaomi only problem with no plugins or flutter dev solution so far. My recommendation is to make a screen teaching the user what to do and redirect them

getDriveResourceClient method cannot be resolved

I'm trying to create a google spreadsheet directly from android app using google drive api. I'm run the code given in quickstart https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/quickstart/android#step_5_setup_the_sample and it works fine. Now while creating spreadsheet, android studio cannot resolve
getDriveResourceClient()
method given in google docs : https://developers.google.com/drive/android/create-file .Can anyone tell me which import statement I have to add as android studio itself isn't suggesting any? This is how my code looks
I'm getting error within the getDataFromApi() method

The issue is that the getdriveresourceclient function is an internal project function.
protected DriveResourceClient getDriveResourceClient() {
return mDriveResourceClient;
}
while mDriveResourceClient is
mDriveResourceClient = Drive.getDriveResourceClient(getApplicationContext(), signInAccount);

Best,

It seems to me there might be modules/package that you haven't imported yet. Anyway, for the full code sample of creating a file, refer to Drive API Android: Create a File.

Try importing these files
import com.google.android.gms.drive.Drive;
import com.google.android.gms.drive.DriveClient;
import com.google.android.gms.drive.DriveResourceClient;
U need client to get access to Drive Resources

Android app + Drive API with full-drive access ... what's the procedure?

I'm looking for some guidance related to accessing Google Drive with an Android app.
1) I need to be able to read files uploaded by users outside of my app. Does this mean I need full-drive access? (If the app could create a folder and then see all files uploaded by the user that exist in this folder, that would be great, but I don't think it works this way.)
2) If I need full-drive access, it seems that Googles "Drive API for Android" doesn't support this, and I need to use the REST api. I think this is true.
3) I need an Auth 2.0 client ID from Google. If I use the rest API, does this mean I need to use a "Web Application" ID? I think I need this because I want an "auth code". I wasn't able to get it working with an "Android" type ID.
4) I'm currently using "Google Sign-In" for Android to handle the login and provide an auth code. I can then convert this into a Token + Refresh Token, and save these so I can get new tokens after an hour in some fashion. Is this manually handling of refresh tokens required?
It's getting ugly, but I think that since I need (?) full-drive access then this is the procedure.
Thanks for any guidance.
Edit: The question has been identified as a duplicate. The link provided gives an answer for question #2, but doesn't address the other questions.
I agree the question is messy...

I'm answering my own question.
I struggled with this because A) Google's REST example uses an outdated login process, B) The "Sign In" example uses code that doesn't work with "full-access" scope, and C) the there were too many vastly different code examples when trying to put it all together.
To quickly answer my questions as I see it now:
1) Yes, full-drive access is required to read files uploaded outside my app.
2) Yes, I need to use REST api.
3) Yes, I need a "Web Application" client ID.
4) Google Sign-In seems the best way currently to sign in, and using a GoogleCredential object along with the Drive api abject will handle the token refreshes automatically, as long as you keep around a refresh token.
In case anyone else is struggling with accessing Drive with full-access from Android using the latest "Sign-In" procedure and REST v3, below is my sample code.
In addition to the "Web application" OAuth client ID, you also need to create an "Android" type ID with a matching package name and certificate fingerprint in order for the Sign-In to work. Also note that you'll have different certificates for your dev and production versions. The IDs/codes from these Android clients do not need to be entered into the app.

// Google Sign In
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:10.0.1'
// Drive REST API

The latest example in https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/quickstart/android works out of the box.
Just do the following:
1 - Go to Google API console and create an OAuth2 Client ID using your package name and debug/release key as your Signing-certificate fingerprint.
2 - Enable Google Drive API
3 - Apply the following code
build.gradle : app
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:10.0.1'
compile 'pub.devrel:easypermissions:0.2.1'
compile('com.google.api-client:google-api-client-android:1.22.0') {
exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents'
}
compile('com.google.apis:google-api-services-drive:v3-rev57-1.22.0') {
exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents'
}
Activity
In this code just change the scope to DriveScopes.DRIVE for full drive access

Integrate Mobile Vision Barcode API into android app [closed]

Closed. This question needs to be more focused. It is not currently accepting answers.
Want to improve this question? Update the question so it focuses on one problem only by editing this post.
Closed 7 years ago.
Improve this question
I am developing a BarcodeScanner app on android. Google has release the native Mobile Vision API link for android barcode.So i want to use the android native barcode API instead of any third party library.
So to sum up my problem :
1- How to integrate Barcode API into my Android App?
2- After integrated how to call the barcode function and get back the scan result ?
Note- A step to step guide will be helpful.
I integrate the code in my app successfully.I posted the answer and question so that it will be helpful to others. If any other ans it would be appreciated.Thanks in advanced..:)

Prerequisite:
• Android 4.2.2+
• Latest Android SDK
• Google Play Services 7.8+ (Rev. 26.0 in SDK)
• compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
• compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8+'

Speech Recogonition as an background service Phonegap/Cordova

I am developing an speech recognition system in android . I have succeeded in it . But the Google Voice Dialog box keeps annoying me and i want to get rid off that . i.e I want to Run this voice recognition in the background as an service . I know there are many SO posts on this with answers . But my problem is the every code here is on Native java and i develop on phone gap . SO i am not able to port this thing to phone gap . I have my code below . So , Any help would be appreciated ! And i use this plugin on phone gap . Thanks in advance .

Because your need is a little different than the functionality provided by the plugin, it seems that you would need to write your own plugin. You can of course use the plugin sources (especially plugin.xml, SpeechRecognizer.js and SpeechRecognizer.java) as an example how to implement it in general.
