ANDROID MULTIPAL RUNTIME PERMISSION:
Think of a scenario where you might need to ask for multiple permissions. For this, instead of requesting multiple permissions in multiple dialogs, we can prompt all the permissions in a single dialog where permissions will be scrolled through one after another.
eg:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
Step 1: We checked for multiple permission with checkSelfPermission() similar as Single permission.
if(ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(MultiplePermissionsActivity.this, permissionsRequired[0]) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
|| ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(MultiplePermissionsActivity.this, permissionsRequired[1]) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
|| ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(MultiplePermissionsActivity.this, permissionsRequired[2]) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
..............
}
else{
.............
}
Step 2: We used shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale() method to check if we should show the explanation for the permission or not similar as single permission.
if(ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(MultiplePermissionsActivity.this,permissionsRequired[0])
|| ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(MultiplePermissionsActivity.this,permissionsRequired[1])
|| ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(MultiplePermissionsActivity.this,permissionsRequired[2])){
}
Now, how we achieve this is by creating string array with required permissions. While checking for permissions, checked by all elements of the array. The only exception is in while checking with SharedPreferences, here we’ve checked with only the first string, the reason is that for storing shared preferences on string is enough and only one shared preference can tell us whether we’ve already requested for permissions or not (as we are requesting for all permissions in one go).
In the onRequestPermissionsResult() method we used a for loop to determine whether all permissions are granted or not. If a single permission is not granted then we will not proceed further.
Just like:
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
if(requestCode == PERMISSION_CALLBACK_CONSTANT){
//check if all permissions are granted
boolean allgranted = false;
for(int i=0;i<grantResults.length;i++){
if(grantResults[i]==PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
allgranted = true;
} else {
allgranted = false;
break;
}
}
if(allgranted){
proceedAfterPermission();
}
