Android Permission Handling Guide

Overview

This guide provides insights into the behavior of permission requests on different Android versions.

Android 9 and Below

Permission Dialog: Appears as many times as the user clicks on "Request Permission." Restrictions: No restrictions on the number of permission dialog appearances.

Android 10

First Denial: On the first denial, the second request will show "Allow," "Deny," and "Deny & don't ask again." Subsequent Requests:

• Deny: Dialog will be shown.
• Deny & don't ask: Dialog will not be shown.

Android 11 and Above

Deny (twice):

• No dialog will be shown (activates "Don't ask again" behavior). Behavior:
• After denying a particular permission request twice, the system interprets it as the user not wanting to grant that permission.
• Subsequent permission requests won't show the system dialog.
• shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale method will return false for that permission.

Handling Denials on Android 11 and Above

If the user denies the permission twice without granting it, the app should handle this situation gracefully. Consider guiding the user to the app settings where they can manually enable the permission.
