Android Handle Location Permission Deny (Don't Ask Again)

From Android Marshmallow On-words Building Location Based Application , App should grant Location permission , In the previous tutorial working with FusedLocation API initially we have request for location permission which is need for fetching device location details to get user lastLocation . In this tutorial we will see the use case of how to handle location permission deny with don't ask again i.e checking/knowing the status of don't ask again action by user and handling.

When you make request for permission there will be 3 actions user's can perform .

Action 1 :  Allow 

Action 2 :  Just Deny ( deny without selecting the check-box "don't ask again")

Action 3 :  Force Deny ( deny with selecting the check-box "don't ask again")

When you deny permission by selecting the check-box "don't ask again" After that when you make subsequent request again for the same permission Nothing will happen ( i.e The system will not show "Allow Deny" popup again )  .

UseCase	Scenerio
1	Request Permission > Pop-up > allow > (TextView Updated With Permission Granted).
2	Request Permission > Pop-up > deny > (TextView Updated With Permission Denied).
3	Request Permission > Pop-up > deny with "don't ask again" selected >     (TextView Updated With Permission Denied and Show Button for visit settings).      Now on Click of "visit settings" you will navigate to app settings     once you grant permission and resume back to app  inside onResume    again we will check if permission update the UI  (i.e TextView Updated     with Permission  Granted and hide Button for visit settings ).

Use Case 1 ( Permission Granted )

Use Case 2 ( Permission Denied )

Use Case 3 ( Pemission Deny By Selecting Don't Ask Again )

1. AndroidManifest

file : AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.tutorialsbuzz.handlelocationpermissiondeny">

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

    ...........
	...........
	...........

</manifest>

2. XML Layout

file : activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/label"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textSize="22sp" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/requestBtn"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="Request Permission" />


    <Button
        android:id="@+id/visitAppSettingsBtn"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="Visit App Settings And Allow Permission"
        android:visibility="gone" />

</LinearLayout>
