in my app, it requires draw over app permission so I open setting using intent

Intent intent = new Intent();
        intent.setAction(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION);
        Uri uri = Uri.parse("package:" + context.getPackageName());
        intent.setData(uri);
        context.startActivity(intent);

so setting open and the user checks true to allow permission but he has to press back button to open my app again, but when I try turecaller I detect when user check it's open app again without press to the back button. how to make like this in my app

I don't think that there is a permission listener, but you can at least check every x miliseconds in a service for example. – Vladyslav Matviienko Jan 22 '18 at 06:29

@HemantParmar that already what I do I check first if the permission allow if no it launch setting activity but how to finish this activity after user check allow – Ahmed Wahdan Jan 22 '18 at 06:33
@BhaveshDesai I try this but it doesn't launch setting activity or allow any thing – Ahmed Wahdan Jan 22 '18 at 06:35
what is your target sdk version ? – Hemant Parmar Jan 22 '18 at 06:35
minSdkVersion 23 targetSdkVersion 26 – Ahmed Wahdan Jan 22 '18 at 06:36
@AhmedWahdan this only request permission, not opening setting screen, you have to show dialog for manually allow permission from setting if user deny permission. – Bhavesh Desai Jan 22 '18 at 06:40
