How to check permission in fragment

Question

I want to check a permission inside a fragment.

my code:

        // Here, thisActivity is the current activity
        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(),
                Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
                != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {


            // Should we show an explanation?
            if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(getActivity(),
                    android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)) {

                // 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(getActivity(),
                        new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
                        1);



                // MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS is an
                // app-defined int constant. The callback method gets the
                // result of the request.
            }
        }

but onRequestPermissionsResult not called after allow or deny.

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
                                       String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode) {
        case 1: {
            Log.e("test","0");
            // If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
            if (grantResults.length > 0
                    && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

                // permission was granted, yay! Do the
                // contacts-related task you need to do.
                //yes

                Log.e("test","1");

                Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), MapsActivity.class);
                intent.putExtra("latitude", 35.694828);
                intent.putExtra("longitude", 51.378129);
                startActivity(intent);

            } else {
                utilityFunctions.showSweetAlertWarning(getActivity(),r.getString(R.string.str_warning_title_empty),
                        r.getString(R.string.str_you_must_allow_this_permission_toast),
                        r.getString(R.string.str_warning_btn_login));

                Log.e("test","2");
            }
            return;
        }

        // other 'case' lines to check for other
        // permissions this app might request
    }
}

What worked for me was calling the onRequestPermissionsResult method in the activity inside which fragment is implemented rather than calling it in fragment itself. Inside onCreateView method in fragment:

    Button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            int permissionCheck = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);

            if (permissionCheck != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(getActivity(), new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_MEDIA);
            }else{
                //Do your work
                fetchMethod();
            }

        }
});

In the Activity which helps to implement fragment, outside of onCreate method:

    @Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode) {
        case MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_MEDIA:
            if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                fetchMethod();

            }else{
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Permission not granted!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            break;

        default:
            break;
    }
}

If you closed your permission of app from settings , you can not open your permission from code or your android version lower than Marshmallow.

You can check this documentation https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html And this is a example https://www.learn2crack.com/2015/10/android-marshmallow-permissions.html

Answer 3

onRequestPermissionsResult is invoked in the activity not the fragment. Try overriding onRequestPermissionsResult in the activity instead.

Answer 4

Fragment has requestPermissions() and onRequestPermissionsResult() methods, use it.

But checkSelfPermission() is from ActivityCompat (not require Activity, only Context).

if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(getContext(), Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    requestPermissions( //Method of Fragment
        new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 
        REQUEST_PERMISSIONS_CODE_WRITE_STORAGE
    );
} else {
    downloadImage();
}

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_PERMISSIONS_CODE_WRITE_STORAGE) {
        if (permissions[0].equals(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
                && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            proceedWithSdCard();
        }
    }
}

Answer 5

This is how I did, it works for me. Thanks!

For Activity :

ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, permissionsList, REQUEST_CODE);

For Fragment :

requestPermissions(permissionsList, REQUEST_CODE);

I have done following to check a permission inside a fragment.

if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(getContext(),
            android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED &&
            ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(getContext(),
                    android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
         requestPermissions(getActivity(),
                new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,
                        android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
                REQUEST_LOCATION);
    } else {
        Log.e("DB", "PERMISSION GRANTED");
    }
