USER PERMISSION FOR APPLICATION IN

ANDROID DEVELOPMNET
Types of permissions
Install-time permissions-
.Install-time permissions give your app limited access to restricted data or let
your app perform restricted actions that minimally affect the system or other
apps. The system automatically grants your app the permissions when the user
installs your app.

Normal permissions These permissions allow access to data and actions that extend
beyond your app's sandbox but present very little risk to the user's privacy and the
operation of other apps.

The system assigns the normal protection level to normal permissions.

Signature permissionsThe system grants a signature permission to an app only when


the app is signed by the same certificate as the app or the OS that defines the permission.

Applications that implement privileged services, such as autofill or VPN services,


also make use of signature permissions. These apps require service-binding
signature permissions so that only the system can bind to the services.

Runtime permissions

Figure 3. The system permission prompt that


appears when your app requests a runtime permission.
Runtime permissions, also known as dangerous permissions, give your app
additional access to restricted data or let your app perform restricted actions
that more substantially affect the system and other apps. Therefore, you need
to request runtime permissions in your app before you can access the restricted
data or perform restricted actions. Don't assume that these permissions have
been previously granted—check them and, if needed, request them before each
access.

Many runtime permissions access private user data, a special type of restricted
data that includes potentially sensitive information. Examples of private user
data include location and contact information.

Add declaration to app manifest


To declare a permission that your app might request, include the
appropriate <uses-permission> element in your app's manifest file. For
example, an app that needs to access the camera has this line
in AndroidManifest.xml:

<manifest ...>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>

<application ...>

...

</application>

</manifest>

Declare hardware as optional


Some permissions, such as CAMERA, let your app access pieces of hardware
that only some Android devices have. If your app declares one of
these hardware-associated permissions, consider whether your app can still run
on a device that doesn't have that hardware.

<manifest ...>

<application>

...

</application>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera"

android:required="false" />

<manifest>

Step 2: Check for Permission in MainActivity.java

if(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity,
Manifest.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR)

!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)

// Permission is not granted

Step 3: UI Layout (activity_main.xml)

Create a button in the XML layout to trigger permission request.

<Button

android:id="@+id/btnRequestPermission"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:text="Request Camera Permission"

android:layout_centerInParent="true"/>

3. Explanation
1. Declare Permission in Manifest: The application must declare required
permissions in AndroidManifest.xml.
2. Check Permission at Runtime: Using
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(), check if permission is already
granted.
3. Request Permission: If not granted, request it using
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions().
4. Handle User Response: The onRequestPermissionsResult() method
captures the user’s response.
