Here is my MapsActivity.java file, i have used the RequestPermission callback and everything yet the dialogbox asking me to grant location permission doesnt show up and the app crashes! package saksham.geofencing;

(SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.googleMap);

isInternetPresent = cd.isConnectingToInternet();
// check for Internet status
if (isInternetPresent) {
// Internet Connection is Present
// make HTTP requests
} else {
// Internet connection is not present
// Ask user to connect to Internet
showAlertDialog(MapsActivity.this, "No Internet Connection",
"You don't have internet connection.");
}
/**
* SupportMapFragment belongs to the v4 support library, contrary to the default MagFragment that is a native component in Android.
SupportMapFragment will support more Android versions, but it is also an additional library you have to add in your project,
so I think it really depends on the Android versions you are targeting:
• On recent versions, the default components should be enough
• On older versions you will need to install the v4 support library and maybe others

You are calling googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true) before checking for permissions. Also, you should instantiate any location code AFTER you check the permissions. Also, in your onRequestPermissionsResult, you may want to add in the location code you want initiated.
