Question

I\'m trying to access ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and if it cannot be found access ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION. So I request for those 2 permission, but they give

Answer 1

You do not need ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission when you define ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission.

From Android Documentation:

Requesting User Permissions

In order to receive location updates from NETWORK_PROVIDER or GPS_PROVIDER, you must request user permission by declaring either the ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission, respectively, in your Android manifest file. For example:

      
       .......

Without these permissions, your application will fail at runtime when requesting location updates.

Note: If you are using both NETWORK_PROVIDER and GPS_PROVIDER, then you need to request only the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission, because it includes permission for both providers. (Permission for ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION includes permission only for NETWORK_PROVIDER.)
