How to check if the Manifest.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission has been granted? I have tried the following but it does not work:
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,
"Manifest.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE")
== PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
The above code always returns false, despite the permission has been granted. Any help appreciated, thanks!
As CommonsWare Said, You can use isExternalStorageManager()
Returns whether the calling app has All Files Access on the primary shared/external storage media.
Declaring the permission Manifest.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE isn't enough to gain the access.
To request access, use android.provider.Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_APP_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION.
Example
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.R) {
if(!Environment.isExternalStorageManager())
{
try {
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_APP_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION);
intent.addCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT");
intent.setData(Uri.parse(String.format("package:%s", getApplicationContext().getPackageName())));
storagePermissionRequest.launch(intent);
} catch (Exception e) {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION);
storagePermissionRequest.launch(intent);
}
}
}
Result Contracts. ActivityResultContracts
ActivityResultLauncher<Intent> storagePermissionRequest = registerForActivityResult(
new ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult(),
new ActivityResultCallback<ActivityResult>() {
@Override
public void onActivityResult(ActivityResult result) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.R) {
if (!Environment.isExternalStorageManager()) {
showPermissionDeniedDialog();
}
}
}
});
I hope it will helpful to others.
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(
requireContext(),
Manifest.permission. MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE //Android 10, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE for older
) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
) {
requestPermissions(
arrayOf(Manifest.permission. MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE),
REQUEST_CODE. // you can use it then in onActivityResult() etc.
)
} else {
doSomething() //now you have permission
}
