Check Android Permissions in a Method

Question

here is my code and it works perfectly fine.

if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(activity, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED || ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(activity, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {     mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true); } 

But I don't like such a big code on every check, and want to delegate it to a method in my utility class.

if (Utils.hasMapLocationPermissions(getActivity())) {     mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true); } 

But setMyLocationEnabled has annotation @RequiresPermission And thus I can't delegate it to a method, because lint and editor shows it as an error.

Is there some annotation to write on my utility method and suppress lint?

Something like this

@ChecksPermission public boolean hasMapLocationPermissions(Activity activity) {   return // my checking logic.. } 

Answer 1

You can rename your method such as checkLocationPermission(Activity activity). I´ve discovered that your method's name must start with "check" and end with "Permission" to pass Lint warnings.

For example:

public static boolean checkLocationPermission(Context context) {     return ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,             Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED             && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,             Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED; } 

Answer 2

You can suppress this error in both the editor and in lint reports by annotating your method with @SuppressWarnings("MissingPermission"), or you can suppress the error for just a single statement by putting //noinspection MissingPermission above that line.

For example:

@SuppressWarnings("MissingPermission") public boolean hasMapLocationPermissions(Activity activity) {   // your checking logic } 

Or:

if (Utils.hasMapLocationPermissions(getActivity())) {     //noinspection MissingPermission     mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true); }
