Android M Permissions: onRequestPermissionsResult() not being called

You can try this:

requestPermissions(permissions, PERMISSIONS_CODE);

If you are calling this code from a fragment it has it's own requestPermissions method. I believe the problem is that you are calling static method.

Pro Tip if you want the onRequestPermissionsResult() in a fragment: FragmentCompat.requestPermissions(Fragment fragment, String[] permissions, int requestCode)

I ran into the same issue and I just found the solution. When using the Support library, you have to use the correct method calls. For example:

• When in AppCompatActivity, you should use ActivityCompat.requestPermissions;
• When in android.support.v4.app.Fragment, you should use simply requestPermissions (this is an instance method of android.support.v4.app.Fragment)

If you call ActivityCompat.requestPermissions in a fragment, the onRequestPermissionsResult callback is called on the activity and not the fragment.

I encountered this problem too. If you want the activity that handles permissions not in the history/recents, then you will be tempted to change your AndroidManifest.xml entry.

If you set the activity that you call requestPermissions or AppCompatActivity.requestPermissions with

android:noHistory="true"
android:excludeFromRecents="true"

in your AndroidManifest.xml then onRequestPermissionsResult() will not be called. This is true if your Activity is derived from Activity or AppCompatActivity.

This can be fixed by removing both flags from 'AndroidManifest.xml' and finishing your activity with finishAndRemoveTask() instead.

I hope it works fine

For Activity :

 ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,permissionsList,REQUEST_CODE);

For Fragment :

 requestPermissions(permissionsList,REQUEST_CODE);
