Watch Video Tutorial
Add Camera permission to the manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
For asking for permission you can call like this.
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA},
MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CAMERA);
To Check if the user has permission to access camera.
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
}
Now the Callback if the User has performed any action.
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CAMERA: {
Log.i("Camera", "G : " + grantResults[0]);
// If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
if (grantResults.length > 0
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
// permission was granted,
openCamera();
} else {
// permission denied, boo! Disable the
// functionality that depends on this permission.
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale
(this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA)) {
showAlert();
} else {
}
}
return;
}
// other 'case' lines to check for other
// permissions this app might request
}
}
if the user clicks “Never ask again” then check below function
It will return false if the user tapped “Never ask again”.
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this,
Manifest.permission.CAMERA)) {
}
