Android Question [SOLVED] - Checking for permissions in B4A results in a continuous loop

JohnC said:

The code you posted should only result in a single pass - no looping.

So, it is looping because of some other code - so please post more code so we can figure out what might be causing the starter.rp.checkandrequest line to be executed repeatedly.

Thanks for the quick response.

I will make a new project and test it first to see if it's doing the same thing.

    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
    Private xui As XUI
End Sub

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout")
    
    Starter.rp.CheckAndRequest(Starter.rp.PERMISSION_READ_PHONE_STATE)
    Wait For Activity_PermissionResult (Permission As String, Result As Boolean)
    If Result Then
        Log("We have permission")
    Else
        Log("We don't have permission")
    End If

End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

Sub Button1_Click
    xui.MsgboxAsync("Hello world!", "B4X")
End Sub

The other problem is that the permission dialog screen does not get displayed either in this small app or in my app. I'm not sure why.

My guess is that android thinks the user already gave permission, and that's why it does not display the dialog.

Try changing the package name of the app and see if it will then display the permission prompt.
