How permission can be checked at runtime without t

Question

I design a function that may get/set a resource from SD and if not found from sd then take it from Asset and if possible write the asset back to SD
This function may check by method invocation if SD is mounted and accessible...

boolean bSDisAvalaible = Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED);

My designed function may be used from one app(project) to another (with or without android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)

Then I would like to check if the current application has this particular permission without playing with SecurityException.

Does it exist a "nice" way to consult current defined permissions at runtime ?

Enable GPS location Android Studio

1. Add permission entry in AndroidManifest.Xml

2. MapsActivity.java

   public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {
   
   private GoogleMap mMap;
   private Context context;
   private static final int PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE = 1;
   Activity activity;
   /**
    * ATTENTION: This was auto-generated to implement the App Indexing API.
    * See https://g.co/AppIndexing/AndroidStudio for more information.
    */
   private GoogleApiClient client;
   
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       context = getApplicationContext();
       activity = this;
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       requestPermission();
       checkPermission();
       setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
       // Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
       SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
               .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
       mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
   
   }
   
   @Override
   public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
       mMap = googleMap;
       LatLng location = new LatLng(0, 0);
       mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(location).title("Marker in Bangalore"));
       mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(location));
       mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
   }
   
   private void requestPermission() {
       if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(activity, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)) {
           Toast.makeText(context, "GPS permission allows us to access location data. Please allow in App Settings for additional functionality.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
       } else {
           ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(activity, new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE);
       }
   }
   
   private boolean checkPermission() {
       int result = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
       if (result == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
           return true;
       } else {
           return false;
       }
   }
   

Answer 2

Like Google documentation:

// Assume thisActivity is the current activity
int permissionCheck = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);

Answer 3

if ((ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) && (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) && (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)) {

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {

        requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.CAMERA},
                MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
    }
}
