I am facing checking permission value in Android 6.0 (API 23). Always get 0 value even permission enable or disable from app's settings.
Below is step which I taken.
Contact permission manually disable from device settings->apps-> My apps-> permission -> Disable contact permission.
Still In Android 6.0 every time got 0 value when execute below line of code.
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS)
Below is my code. which I define in main launcher activity class
// Identifier for the permission request
private static final int WRITE_CONTACTS_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST = 9;
........
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
....
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1)
{
sharedPreferencesEditor.putBoolean(getString(R.string.ALLOW_ACCESS_PHONEBOOK), true);
sharedPreferencesEditor.commit();
}
else {
getPermissionToReadUserContacts();
}
....
}
// Called when the user is performing an action which requires the app to read the
// user's contacts
public void getPermissionToReadUserContacts() {
// 1) Use the support library version ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(...) to avoid
// checking the build version since Context.checkSelfPermission(...) is only available
// in Marshmallow
// 2) Always check for permission (even if permission has already been granted)
// since the user can revoke permissions at any time through Settings
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// The permission is NOT already granted.
// Check if the user has been asked about this permission already and denied
// it. If so, we want to give more explanation about why the permission is needed.
if (shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(
Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS)) {
// Show our own UI to explain to the user why we need to read the contacts
// before actually requesting the permission and showing the default UI
}
// Fire off an async request to actually get the permission
// This will show the standard permission request dialog UI
requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS},
WRITE_CONTACTS_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST);
}
}
// Callback with the request from calling requestPermissions(...)
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
@NonNull String permissions[],
@NonNull int[] grantResults) {
// Make sure it's our original READ_CONTACTS request
if (requestCode == WRITE_CONTACTS_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST) {
if (grantResults.length == 1 &&
grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Write Contacts permission granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "Write Contacts permission denied", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
} else {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
}
}
