Android runtime permissions dialog not showing

Question

I am trying to get permissions (from users running versions of Android higher than 6.0) for ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION at runtime. This was unsuccessful in my main app so I tried making a test app with a sole purpose of requesting location permissions from the user.

The problem I am having is that no permissions dialog box is being shown to the user - from the logcat I can see that the 'onRequestPermissionsResult' method is being run straight away (without asking the user to accept permissions), and it is showing that permissions were not granted.

After looking through other questions around this topic, I have double checked that the 'uses-permission' line is in my Android Manifest XML file, but couldn't find any other solution.

Here is my code:

package com.user.testapplication;

import android.Manifest;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.os.Build;
import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private static final int REQUEST_LOCATION_ID = 1;
private static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    checkLocationPermissions();
}

private void checkLocationPermissions(){
    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this,
            Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
            != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
            Log.i(TAG, "Device version above 6.0 - Requesting location permissions.");
            requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
                    REQUEST_LOCATION_ID);
        }

    }
}

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
                                       String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode) {
        case REQUEST_LOCATION_ID: {
            // If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
            if (grantResults.length > 0
                    && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                Log.i(TAG, "Permissions granted successfully!");

            } else {
                Log.i(TAG, "Permissions were not granted.");
            }
            return;
        }
    }//end switch
}

}//end class

My Manifest:

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

<uses-permission android:name="android.permisssion.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>

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

And the relevant lines from the logcat:

11-27 13:27:47.752 31839-31839/com.user.testapplication I/MainActivity: Device version above 6.0 - Requesting location permissions.
11-27 13:27:47.881 31839-31839/com.user.testapplication I/MainActivity: Permissions were not granted.

Any help is much appreciated - I think I may just be missing something.

Use this in onStart() method, it will solve your issue.

 //This checks for the permission
    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
    {

        // Should we show an explanation?
        if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)){


            // You can show your dialog message here but instead I am 
            // showing the grant permission dialog box
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[] {
                            Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
                            Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION },
                    10);



        }
        else{

            //Requesting permission
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[] {
                            Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
                            Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION },
                    10);
        }
    }

Answer 2

I also had the same problem my issue was i had written following line in manifest

<permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

instead of

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

之所以没有Dialog正在显示盒子在一个错字AndroidManifest ，你可以看到，权限被拼写android-permisssion而不是android-permission 。
