Unable to request multiple dangerous permissions at once

Question

I'm working on an app that collects data for processing, as such it requires multiple dangerous permissions (namely ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and READ_PHONE_STATE). At the moment it requests one then crashes.

I have tried requesting the permissions separately using ActivityCompat.requestPermissions, and I have tried having both of the permissions in the array. I have also tried using the request codes 0,1 and 7 as I saw these used in different answers to similar questions on this topic, but nothing seems to change.

 private void setupPermissions() {
        ArrayList<String> permissions = new ArrayList<>();
        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            permissions.add(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
        }
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            permissions.add(Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE);
        }
        if (permissions.size()>0){
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(getActivity(), permissions.toArray(new String[permissions.size()]), 7);
        }
    }

Expected results:

Upon first opening the app both permissions should be requested for, either by two separate dialog boxes (one after the other) or by a multiple page dialog box.
The app should then run as expected

Actual results:

requests the first
allows you to continue with the app
crashes when you try to use a feature that requires the second
reopen app
requests the second
allows app to continue as normal

Try out the following code (from this answer)

public static boolean hasPermissions(Context context, String... permissions) {
    if (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 = {
  android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, 
  android.Manifest.permission.READ_PHONESTATE
};

if(!hasPermissions(this, PERMISSIONS)){
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, PERMISSIONS, PERMISSION_ALL);
}

Call this checkAndRequestPermissions() Method whenevr you want permission

private boolean checkAndRequestPermissions() {

    int ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
    int READ_PHONE_STATE = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE);

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

    if (READ_PHONE_STATE != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE);
    }
    if (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
    }

    if (!listPermissionsNeeded.isEmpty()) {
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, listPermissionsNeeded.toArray
                (new String[listPermissionsNeeded.size()]), 101);
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}
