I am learning about how to request runtime permissions.
After browsing several websites, I found a simple code

After implemented above tutorial, App works fine but it is not redirecting user to app settings when required.

Code Class is

import android.Manifest;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat;
import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    public static final int REQUEST_ID_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS = 1;
    private static int SPLASH_TIME_OUT = 2000;
    private String TAG = "tag";

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

        if(checkAndRequestPermissions()) {
            // carry on the normal flow, as the case of  permissions  granted.
            new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    // This method will be executed once the timer is over
                    // Start your app main activity

                    Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, WelcomeActivity.class);
                    startActivity(i);

                    // close this activity
                    finish();
                }
            }, SPLASH_TIME_OUT);
        }
    }

    private  boolean checkAndRequestPermissions() {
        int camerapermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA);
        int writepermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
        int permissionLocation = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
        int permissionRecordAudio = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO);


        List<String> listPermissionsNeeded = new ArrayList<>();

        if (camerapermission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.CAMERA);
        }
        if (writepermission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
        }
        if (permissionLocation != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
        }
        if (permissionRecordAudio != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO);
        }
        if (!listPermissionsNeeded.isEmpty()) {
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, listPermissionsNeeded.toArray(new String[listPermissionsNeeded.size()]), REQUEST_ID_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
                                           String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {

                    for (int i = 0; i < permissions.length; i++)
                        perms.put(permissions[i], grantResults[i]);

                        startActivity(i);

                        //else any one or both the permissions are not granted
                    } else {

                        //permission is denied (this is the first time, when "never ask again" is not checked) so ask again explaining the usage of permission

                })
                .setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

                        finish();
                    }
                });
        dialog.show();
    }
}

Can any one help me where am I doing wrong?

Hi,
Can you try this code? It worked for me in the past. It's very similar to yours but with a different way to get the package.


Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
Uri uri = Uri.fromParts("package", getPackageName(), null);
intent.setData(uri);
startActivity(intent);

Helpful?
