Android Question Application Crashes On First Time Permission Ask

[A Z M JANNAT UL KARIM]

Hi, I had a service in Starter Module which will run after every 1 minute to get the current location. When the application first run it crashes on asking for permission. After allowing it next time it runs OK. I understand the the permission need to place first but how? Where did I do wrong ? Below is my code

In Main Activity Module

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    'Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
    If FirstTime Then
        Starter.reqForPerm.CheckAndRequest(Starter.reqForPerm.PERMISSION_SEND_SMS)
        Starter.reqForPerm.CheckAndRequest(Starter.reqForPerm.PERMISSION_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
    End If
End Sub

In Starter Service

Sub Process_Globals
    Private FusedLocationProvider1 As FusedLocationProvider
    Public LastLocation As Location
End Sub

Sub Service_Create
    'This is the program entry point.
    'This is a good place to load resources that are not specific to a single activity.
    FusedLocationProvider1.Initialize("FusedLocationProvider1")
End Sub

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)
    StartServiceAt("", DateTime.Now + 30 * DateTime.TicksPerSecond, True) 'schedule the next task to run in 30 seconds.
    If Not(IsPaused("Starter")) Then
        If FusedLocationProvider1.IsConnected = False Then
            FusedLocationProvider1.Connect
        End If
    End If
End Sub

And the crash report below

FusedLocationProvider1_ConnectionSuccess
Error occurred on line: 159 (Starter)
java.lang.SecurityException: Client must have ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission to request PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY locations.

Thank you in advance ...

I had a similar problem and then decided to change to the following way: (If it is correct or not, or just a dirty fix - I don't know)

Library: RunTimePermissions v1.20

    #AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps
    #AdditionalJar: core-3.2.1

    #DebuggerForceStandardAssets: true 
    #BridgeLogger: True


Sub Process_Globals
    Public Permissions As RuntimePermissions
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)

    CheckPermissions ' I call this first regardless
    Activity.LoadLayout("scrMain") 'whatever you call your main layout
  
    End Sub
  
  
Public Sub CheckPermissions

'    Use Whatever permissions you require here - This is my set of permissions in one of my Apps
' Also CheckAndRequest - Checks - If not granted - then requests i.o.w's if it is the second time you are entering the App - it will check - if all is in place the user will not be requested to give permissions again.

    Log("Checking Permissions")
  
  
    Permissions.CheckAndRequest(Permissions.PERMISSION_READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
    Permissions.CheckAndRequest(Permissions.PERMISSION_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
  
    Permissions.CheckAndRequest(Permissions.PERMISSION_READ_PHONE_STATE)
  
    Permissions.CheckAndRequest(Permissions.PERMISSION_CALL_PHONE)
    Permissions.CheckAndRequest(Permissions.PERMISSION_RECEIVE_SMS)
    Permissions.CheckAndRequest(Permissions.PERMISSION_SEND_SMS)
    Permissions.CheckAndRequest(Permissions.PERMISSION_READ_SMS)
  
    Permissions.CheckAndRequest(Permissions.PERMISSION_READ_CONTACTS)
    Permissions.CheckAndRequest(Permissions.PERMISSION_WRITE_CONTACTS)
  
    Permissions.CheckAndRequest(Permissions.PERMISSION_ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)
    Permissions.CheckAndRequest(Permissions.PERMISSION_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
  
    Permissions.CheckAndRequest(Permissions.PERMISSION_CAMERA)
  
    Permissions.CheckAndRequest(Permissions.PERMISSION_READ_CALENDAR)
    Permissions.CheckAndRequest(Permissions.PERMISSION_WRITE_CALENDAR)

    CheckForGooglePlayServices
  
    StartService("HttpUtils2Service")
    StartService("FirebaseMessaging")
    StartService("sms1")
    StartService("NotificationService")

    Return
  
End Sub

Sub Activity_PermissionResult (Permission As String, Result As Boolean)

 
    If Permission = Permissions.PERMISSION_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION Then
        CallSubDelayed(Starter,"StartGps")
'       only after you have permission then you start the GPS or FusedLocation Provider in your Starter Service
    End If

    If Permission = Permissions.PERMISSION_CAMERA Then
        LogColor("YOU CAN USE THE CAMERA",Colors.Red)
    End If
  
    If Permission = Permissions.PERMISSION_READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE Or Permission = Permissions.PERMISSION_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE Then
        LogColor("Read/Write Granted",Colors.Red)
    End If

    Log("Permissions OK")

End Sub

Sub CheckForGooglePlayServices As Boolean
    Log("Checking for Play Services")
    Dim GoogleApiAvailablity As JavaObject
    GoogleApiAvailablity = GoogleApiAvailablity.InitializeStatic("com.google.android.gms.common.GoogleApiAvailability").RunMethod("getInstance", Null)
    Dim context As JavaObject
    context.InitializeContext
    If GoogleApiAvailablity.RunMethod("isGooglePlayServicesAvailable", Array(context)) <> 0 Then
        GoogleApiAvailablity.RunMethod("makeGooglePlayServicesAvailable", Array(context))
        Return False
    End If
    Return True
End Sub

I trust this will help a little in solving your problem.

You cannot start FusedLocationProvider before you have the permission. The simplest solution is to set targetSdkVersion to 22 or below. Otherwise you will need to wait for the permission to be received and only then initialize and start FusedLocationProvider (call the starter service with CallSub).

Erel, I had already published the app to the Play Store. Now it is not making me to downgrade the SDK :-( Can you please give an example for how to wait for Permission Approval. Thank You ...
