Location permission does not always show up-CodePudding

I am facing two issues:

The app shows the popup to request location only sometimes, even tho the permission has not been granted yet or was denied (but not "deny and do not ask again")
On Android 10 (API 29) it seems that "Allow all the time" box does not appear, but only "Allow while using the app, Deny, Deny and don't ask again" even if this Android Version should allow it.

My application should need FINE_LOCATION and BACKGROUND_LOCATION permissions

This is my code:

manifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" />

MainActivity

if(ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.RECEIVE_SMS) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                new String[]{Manifest.permission.RECEIVE_SMS},
                Utils.PERMISSION_SMS_RECEIVE);
    }

    if(ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                new String[]{Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS},
                Utils.PERMISSION_SMS_SEND);
    }

    if(ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION},
                Utils.PERMISSION_ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION);
    }

    if(ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
                Utils.PERMISSION_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
    }

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
        if(ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                    new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION},
                    Utils.PERMISSION_ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION);
        }
    }

The SMS permission always shows up when it's not granted, but location permission shows up only sometimes and I find its behaviour weird.

CodePudding user response：

Ask the permissions like. You are asking all the permissions separately. So might be all the permissions dialogs are appearing but are on top of the other.

if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(
                this,
                Manifest.permission.RECEIVE_SMS
            ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED || ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(
                this,
                Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS
            ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED || ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(
                this,
                Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
            ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED || ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(
                this,
                Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
            ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
        ) {

            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
                this,
                arrayOf(
                    Manifest.permission.RECEIVE_SMS,
                    Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS,
                    Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,
                    Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
                ),
                REQUEST_CODE
            );
        }

For asking background location first ensure that your app is having normal location permission granted.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
            if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(
                    this,
                    Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
                ) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
            ) {
                if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(
                        this,
                        Manifest.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION
                    ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
                ) {
                    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
                        this,
                        arrayOf(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION),
                        Utils.PERMISSION_ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION
                    );
                }
            }
        }
