Sub Activity_PermissionResult (Permission As String, Result As Boolean)
    B4XPages.Delegate.Activity_PermissionResult(Permission, Result)
End Sub

'This event will be called once, before the page becomes visible.
Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    Root = Root1
    'load the layout to Root
    Root.LoadLayout("Login")
    Page2.Initialize
    B4XPages.AddPage("Page 2", Page2)
    Page3.Initialize
    B4XPages.AddPage("Page 3", Page3)
    
    Dim rp As RuntimePermissions
    rp.CheckAndRequest(rp.PERMISSION_CAMERA)
    Wait For B4XPage_PermissionResult (Permission As String, Result As Boolean)
    Log(Permission & " : " & Result)

End Sub

I've tried the above code to test getting the Camera permission but Result is always False! Am I missing something else?

 

[agraham]

My bad I didn't have a Camera instance declared. Now what am I missing to get PERMISSION_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to work?

EDIT: Apologies. , I'm really rusty at all this. I needed a reference to File.DirRootExternal to get the permissions. Why does Android make things so complicated

 

[Erel]

The solution is: go to the Logs tab and click on List Permissions. If you don't see the permission marked with an asterisk then you don't need to (and cannot) request it at runtime.

hmm, is not working.
The permission request is not shown.

 

[agraham]

You need to add a Camera object to get the need for the permission to be recognised.

Alexander See my previous answer.

Ahh i found the problem, the Wait For B4XPage_PermissionResult (Permission As String, Result As Boolean) is not working if already the permission is allowed.

It is working assuming that you are using RuntimePermissions v1.11: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ot-closerequest-as-thought.118914/post-744026

The dialog will not appear however the event will be raised.
