How do I request permission for Android Device Location in React Native at run-time?

Question

I have been trying to use React Native \'s GeoLocalisation for an Android App. The poorly documentated module is found here https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/geol

Answer 1

This did not work for me

if (granted === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
}

I referred to https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/permissionsandroid.html#request and check() return a boolean

const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.check( PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION );

if (granted) {
  console.log( "You can use the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" )
} 
else {
  console.log( "ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission denied" )
}
