Request runtime permissions from v4.Fragment and h

Question

I'm having a weird issue that is causing a conflict. I had to switch to native Fragments to fix it, but there are bugs with that.

My original problem: I have a navigation drawer setup with v4 Fragments. To ask for permission in one of my Fragments I call ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, 1); The prompt shows up just fine, but when I accept or deny the permission, nothing happens. The callback onRequestPermissionsResult() is never called. Instead it gets called in the Activity that my Fragments are attached to. Useless to me, I need the callback to work in the Fragment.

With this in mind I was told that I need to use FragmentCompat, but that only works with native Fragments (v13+), so I changed navigation drawer to work from native Fragments instead of the v4 support library Fragments. However, because I'm using AppCompatActivity, certain things do not work, like addToBackStack() and going back to a previous fragment.

Long story short, does anyone know how I can use the v4.Fragment and still call for permission in the Fragment and get the callback to be in the Fragment? I feel like this is a bug in Android that hasn't been addressed but I'm not 100%.

Let me know if you need to see my code, it's just the standard methods that you need for runtime permissions, I would like to work with v4 Fragments though which doesn't work from my understanding.

Answer 1

You can use this part of code

requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS}, PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE);

Answer 2

In my case I have requested the permission from the fragment and also need to get the response in fragment.

But my phone running on android 8.1

so I was need to add one more condition for check this

so eventually there is my solution

private void doOnWazeButtonClick()
{
    int permissionStatus = PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED;

    if (getContext() != null)
    {
        permissionStatus = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getContext(), Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
    }

    if (permissionStatus == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
    {
        showContentWaze();
    }
    else
    {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
        {
            Objects.requireNonNull(getActivity()).requestPermissions(new String[] {Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, REQUEST_CODE_PERMISSION_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
        }
        else
        {
            requestPermissions(new String[] {Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, REQUEST_CODE_PERMISSION_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
        }
    }
}

Answer 3

v4.Fragment works well. I have an issue with nested fragment of v4.Fragment. Permission is asked, but the callback onRequestPermissionsResult() is never called in nested fragment!

Just use requestPermission("your permission/s in string array",your request code) simply no need to use Fragment.requestPermissons(String[],int );

This method in your fragment calls requestPermissions of android.support.v4.app.Fragment class i.e

public final void requestPermissions(@NonNull String[] permissions, int requestCode) {
        if (mHost == null) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Fragment " + this + " not attached to Activity");
        }
        mHost.onRequestPermissionsFromFragment(this, permissions, requestCode);
    }
