ActivityCompat.requestPermissions not showing dial

Question

if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(RegisterActivity.this,      Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED){
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                    new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE}, REQUEST_READ_PHONE_STATE_PERMISSION);

i'm trying to use this function on nexus 5 api 23 and its just not showing me the dialog box like its supposed to do, it's just not doing anything. what could cause the problem? (this code is in the java activity) i tried changing my minimum api to 23 and use the requestPermissions() without the ActivityCompat but still not working.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.idanayzen.photomap"
    minSdkVersion 23
    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}
}

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
}

and the Manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.idanayzen.photomap">

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">


    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
        android:value="@string/google_maps_key" />

    <activity
        android:name=".MapsActivity"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_maps" />
    <activity android:name=".RegisterActivity">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity android:name=".WrongPhoneNum"></activity>
</application>

</manifest>

Answer 1

This just happened to me. It turned out I was requesting ALL permissions, when I needed to filter to just DANGEROUS permissions, and it suddenly started working.

fun requestPermissions() {
    val missingDangerPermissions = PERMISSIONS
            .filter { ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, it) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED }
            .filter { this.getPackageManager().getPermissionInfo(it, PackageManager.GET_META_DATA).protectionLevel == PermissionInfo.PROTECTION_DANGEROUS } // THIS FILTER HERE!

    if (missingDangerPermissions.isNotEmpty()) {
        Log.i(TAG, "Requesting dangerous permission to $missingDangerPermissions.")
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                missingDangerPermissions.toTypedArray(),
                REQUEST_CODE_REQUIRED_PERMISSIONS);
        return
    } else {
        Log.i(TAG, "We had all the permissions we needed (yay!)")
    }
}

Answer 2

I updated my target SDK version from 22 to 23 and it worked perfectly.

Answer 3

I had this same issue.I updated to buildToolsVersion "23.0.3" It all of a sudden worked. Hope this helps anyone having this issue.

Answer 4

For me the issue was I had an invalid request code. I choose 0xDEADBEEF as a request code and it was silently failing (maybe it's cast to something smaller than 32-bit somewhere internally?) If I choose 255 everything worked fine as NightSkyDev described above.

Answer 5

I came across this problem in Samsung S8 and N8 (havent found in any other)

so the problem is in the manifest file uses-permission

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"
android:requiredFeature="true" />

For some reason, the attribute android:requiredFeature is the culprit. and I haven't found the explanation on why.

to solve simply remove it,

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

Answer 6

For me the error was in the manifest: the permission was in uppercase. Android Studio suggest me the permissions in uppercase. I don't care about that and it took me two hours to fixe this problem.

The right syntaxe for permission is
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
