Android M permissions close my app


I check for the required permissions on my Log In screen. The dialog shows asking for the 4 permissions I need. All good, but when the dialog appears, the background becomes black and my app closes (doesn't crash, just closes). When I'm done with choosing the permissions I open the app again and it continues running from where it stopped. How can I make the app continue running while the permissions dialog is shown? I use a class which checks for permissions and call it in the Log In activity.

The class:

public abstract class RuntimePermissionsActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private SparseIntArray mErrorString;

@Override
protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState){
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    mErrorString = new SparseIntArray();
}

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults){
    super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
    int permissionCheck = PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED;
    for (int permission : grantResults){
        permissionCheck = permissionCheck + permission;
    }
    if ((grantResults.length>0) && permissionCheck == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
        onPermissionsGranted(requestCode);
    }
    else {

                Intent intent = new Intent();
                intent.setAction(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
                intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
                intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName()));
                intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
                intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS);
                startActivity(intent);
    }
}

public void requestAppPermissions(final String[] requestedPermissions, final int requestCode){
    int stringId = 0;
    mErrorString.put(requestCode, stringId);
    int permissionCheck = PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED;
    boolean shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale = false;
    for (String permission : requestedPermissions){
        permissionCheck = permissionCheck + ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, permission);
        shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale = ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this, permission);
    }
    if(permissionCheck != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
        if(shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale){
                    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(RuntimePermissionsActivity.this, requestedPermissions, requestCode);
        }
        else {
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, requestedPermissions, requestCode);
            Toast.makeText(RuntimePermissionsActivity.this, "Please relaunch the application in order for the changes to take effect!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }
    else {
        onPermissionsGranted(requestCode);
    }

}
public abstract void onPermissionsGranted(int requestCode);
}

The Log In activity call:

LoginActivity.super.requestAppPermissions(new
            String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,
            Manifest.permission.CAMERA, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, REQUEST_PERMISSIONS);

Solution

  • Same problem here.

    ankit jain was on the track. Removing android:noHistory="true" fixed the N.Park problem.

    Although in my case I needed that value to be true, or at least the behaviour that makes (I had a SplashScreen where I managed the permissions, and after moving on, I wanted that Activity out of my stack).

    So:

    1. I deleted line android:noHistory="true"

    2. In the activity I manage the permission without problems

    3. After that, I move into the next activity with:

    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK );
