As of Android 6.0, permission behaviour has changed to runtime. To use a feature that requires a permission, one should check first if the permission is granted previously. Using checkSelfPermission(permissionString) method a result is returned, wither ther permission is PERMISSION_GRANTED or PERMISSION_DENIED.
If permission isn’t granted or it is first time, a request for permission should be made. Giving a user an option to grant or deny.
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M && checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION},
PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CODE_ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION);
//After this point you wait for callback in onRequestPermissionsResult(int, String[], int[]) overriden method
}else{
getScanningResults();
//do something, permission was previously granted; or legacy device
}
If your code is running on device prior to M, you proceed with your code, permission was granted using legacy method.
Once requested for permission, dialog will be shown to user. His/her response will be delivered as:
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
int[] grantResults) {
if (requestCode == PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CODE_ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Do something with granted permission
mWifiListener.getScanningResults();
}
}
After that, you can check if the Location Services is ON, using LocationServices.SettingsApi and request the user to enable if this options is disabled. This is possible with Play Services LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED callback.
