Permission Requests causes infinite loop in OnResume

Question

In API >= 23, we are required to ask users for permission at run-time. But for some reason, the permissions are causing onResume to be called infinitely. What causes this?

Answer 1

first, your app needs to check whether you have been granted a particular permission before asking runtime permission.

 if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this.getApplicationContext(),
            android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    } else {
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, REQUEST_CODE);
    }
