onRequestPermissionsResult not being called in dia

Question

I have started to work on Android M runtime permission. Here I am facing the issue that if requestPermissions is called from Dialog Fragment class then onRequestPermissionsResult not getting called in the same Dialog fragment class. But if requestPermissions is called from Activity class or Fragment class then onRequestPermissionsResult method get called in the same class.

Here is my sample code:

public class ContactPickerDialog extends DialogFragment {
    private static final int READ_CONTACTS_REQUEST_CODE = 12;
    private Context mContext;

    private void loadContact() {
        if(hasPermission(mContext, Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS)){
            new ContactSyncTask().execute();
        } else {
            this.requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS}, READ_CONTACTS_REQUEST_CODE);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
        Logger.d("TAG", "dialog onRequestPermissionsResult");
        switch (requestCode) {
            case READ_CONTACTS_REQUEST_CODE:
                // Check Permissions Granted or not
                if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                    new ContactSyncTask().execute();
                } else {
                    // Permission Denied
                    Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Read contact permission is denied", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            break;
            default:
                super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
        }
    }

    private static boolean hasPermission(Context context, String permission){
        return ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, permission) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED;
    }

} 

Here in the code I am calling requestPermissions method of Dialog Fragment class. So I am expecting to get result in same class.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Here I am adding more detail, so that it will be more helpful to others. Previously I have used getChildFragmentManager() to show the DialogFragment.

ContactPickerDialog dialog = new ContactPickerDialog();
dialog.show(getChildFragmentManager(), "Contact Picker");

But As @CommonWare asked me to use activity to show the DialogFragment. I have made following changes and it works.

ContactPickerDialog dialog = new ContactPickerDialog();
dialog.show(getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager(), "Contact Picker");

Answer 1

There appears to be a bug in Android, where nested fragments do not support the onRequestPermissionsResult() callback. For a DialogFragment, a workaround appears to be to have the fragment wanting to show the dialog call a method on the hosting activity, and the activity shows the DialogFragment itself.

Answer 2

EDIT:

I suggest to use a new version of Support Library 23.3.0, because Google fixed issue with not calling onRequestPermissionsResult, but if for some reasons you need to use an older version, then see origin answer below.

ORIGINAL ANSWER:

I am using next workaround (together with easyPermissions library):

BaseFragment:

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
    /** child v4.fragments aren't receiving this due to bug. So forward to child fragments manually
     * https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=189121
     */
    super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
    List<Fragment> fragments = getChildFragmentManager().getFragments();
    if (fragments != null) {
        // it is possible that fragment might be null in FragmentManager
        for (Fragment fragment : fragments) {
            if (fragment != null) {
                fragment.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
            }
        }
    }
}

BaseActivity:

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
    Fragment fragment = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(getFragmentContainer())
    if (fragment != null) {
        fragment.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode&0xff, permissions, grantResults);
    }
}

Usage:

public class SomeFragment extends BaseFragment implements EasyPermissions.PermissionCallbacks {
    private static final int PICK_CONTACT = 1;
    private static final int READ_CONTACTS_PERM = 2;

    // some code

    @AfterPermissionGranted(READ_CONTACTS_PERM)
    private void pickContactWithPermissionsCheck() {
        if (EasyPermissions.hasPermissions(getContext(), Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS)) {
            // Have permission
            pickContactForResult();
        } else {
            // Request one permission
            EasyPermissions.requestPermissions(this, getString(R.string.read_contacts_permission_explanation),
                    READ_CONTACTS_PERM, Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
        super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);

        // FIXME problem with incorrect requestCode coming to callback for Nested fragments
        // More information here - https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=189121
        if (isVisible() && Arrays.asList(permissions).contains(Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS)) {
            requestCode = READ_CONTACTS_PERM;
        }

        // EasyPermissions handles the request result.
        EasyPermissions.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults, this);
    }
}

Answer 3

This issue seems to be fixed in Android Support Library 23.3.0 and above versions.

If you’re using Support v4 Fragments, nested fragments will now receive callbacks to onRequestPermissionsResult().

Edit: @AndrewS, here's how you can update.

In your build.gradle(app) file, change the following line to use the latest support library 24.0.0 which is the latest version:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.0.0'
}

Answer 4

I got it done like this

public class DialogFragmentSMS extends DialogFragment implements View.OnClickListener {

public static DialogFragmentSMS frag;
private static View view;
private static ViewGroup parent;
private EditText editTextMensagem;
private String celular;

private final static int SMS_REQUEST = 20;

public DialogFragmentSMS() {

}
public static DialogFragmentSMS newInstance(String celular)
{

    Bundle args = new Bundle();
    args.putString("celular", celular);
    frag = new DialogFragmentSMS();
    frag.setArguments(args);
    return frag;
}

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle saveInstaceState)
{
    super.onCreate(saveInstaceState);
}

    @Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    if (!PermissaoUtils.hasPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS)) {
        //PermissaoUtils.requestPermissions(getActivity(), new String[]{Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS}, SMS_REQUEST);
        frag.requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS}, SMS_REQUEST);
    }else{
        if (validaCampos()) {
            SmsManager smsManager = SmsManager.getDefault();
            smsManager.sendTextMessage("0" + celular, null, editTextMensagem.getText().toString(), null, null);
            Toast.makeText(getActivity(), R.string.sms_enviado, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            getDialog().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);
            frag.dismiss();
        }
    }
}

My Class Permission

public class PermissaoUtils
{
    public static boolean useRunTimePermissions() {
        return Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1;
    }

    public static boolean hasPermission(Activity activity, String permission) {
        if (useRunTimePermissions()) {
            return activity.checkSelfPermission(permission) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED;
        }
        return true;
    }

    public static void requestPermissions(Activity activity, String[] permission, int requestCode) {
        if (useRunTimePermissions()) {
            activity.requestPermissions(permission, requestCode);
        }
    }
}
