I'm currently trying to adapt my application to the new permissions model of Android M.
I'm collecting all the permissions I require, then run
Log.i("Permissions", "Requesting permissions: " + permissions);
requestPermissions(requiredPermissions.toArray(new String[requiredPermissions.size()]), requestCodeForPermissions);
requiredPermissions holds the permissions I need like android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.
That routine is definitely executed as I have the Log line in the logcat:
08-07 12:52:46.469: I/Permissions(1674): Requesting permissions: android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED; android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
But the permissions dialog never shows, let alone is onRequestPermissionsResult() called.
What am I doing wrong? Based on some tutorials I found I'm not missing anything. I only have the emulator for testing, no physical device. This is the about screen from settings: Image
It might be worth mentioning something else: If I try to open the overview of installed apps from the home screen I only get launcher3 has exited. I'm not sure if that might be related.
Does anybody have an idea why it's not showing?
Based on the comment from Hilal (thanks a lot!): In my case my app is indeed using tabhost and the permissions were requested from an Activity inside the tabhost. After starting a separate activity that requests the permissions it is working.
