Is there any method to identify which location permission is granted by user

Question

Is there any method to identify which location permission is granted by user in programmatically in Android.

like the following

While using the app
Only this time
Deny

I want to know a particular applications current location permission status from another app. Not for checking its run time.

Yes, we can check it programmatically using the combination of permissions. I have created the method on the basis of the android version :

 private void checkLocationPermissionState(Context context){

    int fineLocation = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
    int coarseLocation = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION);

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.S) {

        int bgLocation = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION);

        boolean isAppLocationPermissionGranted = (bgLocation == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) &&
                (coarseLocation == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);

        boolean preciseLocationAllowed = (fineLocation == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
                && (coarseLocation == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);

        if (preciseLocationAllowed) {
            Log.e("PERMISSION","Precise location is enabled in Android 12");
        } else {
            Log.e("PERMISSION","Precise location is disabled in Android 12");
        }

        if (isAppLocationPermissionGranted) {
            Log.e("PERMISSION","Location is allowed all the time");
        } else if(coarseLocation == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
            Log.e("PERMISSION","Location is allowed while using the app");
        }else{
            Log.e("PERMISSION","Location is not allowed.");
        }

    } else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {

        int bgLocation = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION);

        boolean isAppLocationPermissionGranted = (bgLocation == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) &&
                (coarseLocation == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);

        if (isAppLocationPermissionGranted) {
            Log.e("PERMISSION","Location is allowed all the time");
        } else if(coarseLocation == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
            Log.e("PERMISSION","Location is allowed while using the app");
        }else{
            Log.e("PERMISSION","Location is not allowed.");
        }
        
    } else {

        boolean isAppLocationPermissionGranted = (fineLocation == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) &&
                (coarseLocation == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);

        if (isAppLocationPermissionGranted) {
            Log.e("PERMISSION","Location permission is granted");
        } else {
            Log.e("PERMISSION","Location permission is not granted");
        }
    }


}

Hi @Himanshi thanks for the answer. I know this method will give us to know the permissions which enabled the user while run time. But I want to know when the app is in the rest mode and how can we know the particular application currently using which location permission. (Like I want to know a particular applications current location permission status from another app) — jerald jacob, Mar 07 '22 at 11:45
Both apps belong to you or do you want to check the permission status in another developer app? — Himanshi Thakur, Mar 07 '22 at 13:07
