Permission request dialog box appearing multiple times android

Question

Check permission dialog box appears again and again inspite of giving permission and clicking all dialog box as accept it closes the app.

I have a helper method (copied from here) to check multiple permissions and see if any of them are not granted.

            public static boolean hasPermissions(Context context, String... permissions) {
        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M && context != null && permissions != null) {
            for (String permission : permissions) {
                if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, permission) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                    return false;
                }
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
 int PERMISSION_ALL = 1;

         String[] PERMISSIONS = {Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,Manifest.permission.CAMERA};
       if(!hasPermissions(this, PERMISSIONS)){
            Log.d("permission","permission");
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, PERMISSIONS, PERMISSION_ALL);

        }

I want it to load the same activity i.e. the MainActivity after granting permission.

Can anyone point why the permission is being asked multiple times.

You should receive two prompts: one for `ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` and one for `CAMERA`. If the user does not grant the permissions, your code is going to ask every time `onCreate` is called. Is this what you are seeing, or are you seeing something else? — Larry Schiefer, Jul 14 '17 at 12:59
I am receiving two prompts: one for ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and one for CAMERA. I am granting permission but still the permission prompts keeps appearing again and again like 4 or 5 times and then the app closes. — asifa, Jul 14 '17 at 13:10
If the app is closing and it is not intentional, there should be a crash dump in the logcat. Be sure to turn off any filtering for just your app in Android Studio's logcat view, otherwise you can miss the crash. — Larry Schiefer, Jul 14 '17 at 13:22

Kind of late to this Party but give this code a try

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
        if (checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        } else {
            requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 666);  // Comment 26
        }
    }

    onAvail();
    onLoad();
}

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

    super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
    switch (requestCode) {

        case 666: // User selected Allowed  Permission Granted
            if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

                Snackbar s = Snackbar.make(findViewById(android.R.id.content), "Permission Granted", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG);
                View snackbarView = s.getView();
                snackbarView.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
                TextView textView = (TextView) snackbarView.findViewById(android.support.design.R.id.snackbar_text);
                textView.setTextColor(Color.RED);
                textView.setTextSize(18);
                textView.setMaxLines(6);
                s.show();

                // do your work here

                // User selected the Never Ask Again Option Change settings in app settings manually
            } else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23 && !shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(permissions[0])) {

                AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this, R.style.MyAlertDialogStyle);
                alertDialogBuilder.setTitle("Change Permissions in Settings");
                alertDialogBuilder
                        .setMessage("Click SETTINGS to Manually Set\n\n" + "Permissions to use Database Storage")
                        .setCancelable(false)
                        .setPositiveButton("SETTINGS", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                                Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
                                Uri uri = Uri.fromParts("package", getPackageName(), null);
                                intent.setData(uri);
                                startActivityForResult(intent, 1000);
                            }
                        });

                AlertDialog alertDialog = alertDialogBuilder.create();
                alertDialog.show();

            } else {
                // User selected Deny Dialog to EXIT App ==> OR <== RETRY to have a second chance to Allow Permissions
                if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M && checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED) {

            }
    }
    break;
    }};

Just check that the permission you have mentioned here String[] PERMISSIONS = {Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,Manifest.permission.CAMERA};

should be given in manifest file.

Please do the following changes in the corresponding places.

 if (hasPermissions(this, PERMISSIONS)) {  
            // you have permissions  
            //Do your work.      
 }

replace **hasPermissions()** method with following code    

   public static boolean hasPermissions(Context context, String... permissions) {   
     int result;  
     List<String> listPermissionsNeeded = new ArrayList<>();  
        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M && context != null && permissions != null) {  
            for (String permission : permissions) {  
                result = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, permission);  
                if (result != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {  
                    listPermissionsNeeded.add(permission);  
                }  
            }  
            if (!listPermissionsNeeded.isEmpty()) {  
                ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, listPermissionsNeeded.toArray(new String[listPermissionsNeeded.size()]), PERMISSION_ALL);  
                return false;  
            }  
        }  
              return true;  
    }

replace **onRequestPermissionsResult()** with following code

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
                                       int[] grantResults) {
    Log.d("requestCode", String.valueOf(requestCode));
    switch (requestCode) {
        case PERMISSION_ALL: {
            if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && grantResults[1] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                //Do your work.
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Permission Recieved", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            } else {
                Toast.makeText(this, "Until you grant the permission, we cannot proceed further", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        }
        default:
            super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
    }
}
