How to handle multiple permissions in Kotlin Android

How to handle multiple permissions in Kotlin Android.

Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to handle multiple permissions in Kotlin Android:

Step 1: Declare the necessary permissions in the manifest file

Open the AndroidManifest.xml file and declare the permissions that your app requires. For example, if your app requires camera and location permissions, add the following lines inside the <manifest> tag:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

Step 2: Check if the permissions are granted

In your activity or fragment, create a function to check if the required permissions are granted. Here's an example:

private fun checkPermissions(): Boolean {
    val cameraPermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(
        this,
        Manifest.permission.CAMERA
    )
    val locationPermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(
        this,
        Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
    )

    return cameraPermission == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED &&
            locationPermission == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
}

Step 3: Request permissions

If the required permissions are not granted, you need to request them from the user. Create a function to handle the permission request. Here's an example:

private fun requestPermissions() {
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
        this,
        arrayOf(
            Manifest.permission.CAMERA,
            Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
        ),
        PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE
    )
}

Step 4: Handle permission request results

Override the onRequestPermissionsResult method to handle the permission request results. Here's an example:

override fun onRequestPermissionsResult(
    requestCode: Int,
    permissions: Array<String>,
    grantResults: IntArray
) {
    super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults)

    if (requestCode == PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE) {
        if (grantResults.isNotEmpty() && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            // Permissions granted, handle the functionality that requires the permissions
        } else {
            // Permissions denied, show a message or handle the functionality accordingly
        }
    }
}

Step 5: Check and request permissions when needed

Now, you can call the checkPermissions function to check if the permissions are granted. If not, call the requestPermissions function to request them. Here's an example:

if (checkPermissions()) {
    // Permissions already granted, handle the functionality that requires the permissions
} else {
    requestPermissions()
}

That's it! You have now implemented the handling of multiple permissions in Kotlin Android. Make sure to handle the functionality that requires the permissions accordingly in the appropriate places in your code.
