// Example of requesting permissions in an Android app public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { private static final int PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE = 100; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); // Check if permission is already granted if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { // Permission is not granted, request it ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE); } else { // Permission has already been granted accessLocation(); } } @Override public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) { super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults); if (requestCode == PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE) { if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { // Permission granted accessLocation(); } else { // Permission denied, show a message to the user Toast.makeText(this, "Permission denied. Unable to access location.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } } } private void accessLocation() { // Code to access the user's location } }
