How to check permission in fragment

Question

I want to check a permission inside a fragment.

my code:

        // Here, thisActivity is the current activity
        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPe         


        

Answer 1

I was getting tripped up using checkSelfPermission() in a Fragment and wondering what would be the best approach for Context being null (Kotlin specific)... should I use !! or something else?

I went with something else based on code I found in iosched. Have a look at the sample below, and remember, before the Fragment is attached to an Activity, the Context will be null.

private fun fineLocationPermissionApproved(): Boolean {

    val context = context ?: return false

    return PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED == checkSelfPermission(
        context,
        Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
    )
}
