Requesting Permissions of Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION at Run Time

Advertisemen

Refer to last example of "Get my Last Known Location, by calling LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation()" in Android Studio, you will be prompted with "code should explicitly check to see if permission is available (with 'checkPermission') or explicitly handle a potential 'SecurityException'" on the code "LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient)".

Last example handle 'SecurityException' with try/catch. This example show another approach to check if permission is available with 'checkPermission', then call ActivityCompat.requestPermissions() if need, and handle the user answer in onRequestPermissionsResult().

reference: Android Developers - Requesting Permissions at Run Time

notice for sending location to Android Emulator: I have to open another app, Google Maps, to monitor location, otherwise my example cannot get the updated location.

Edit MainActivity.java from last post.
