Unable to request RECORD_AUDIO permission in Android

Question

I am developing an Android application that has its own video recorder feature. For that I need to request RECORD_AUDIO permission from the user. But when I request the permission, it is not showing the prompt to get the permission from the user.

This is my function that checks if the app needs to request permission and it does automatically if required.

private boolean isRecordAudioPermissionGranted()
   {
      if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
         if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO) ==
            PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            // put your code for Version>=Marshmallow
            return true;
         } else {
            if (shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO)) {
               Toast.makeText(this,
                  "App required access to audio", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO
            },AUDIO_RECORD_REQUEST_CODE);
            return false;
         }

      } else {
         // put your code for Version < Marshmallow
         return true;
      }
   }

In the onCreate of the Activity, I call the function like this.

if(!isRecordAudioPermissionGranted())
      {
         Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Need to request permission", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
      }
else{
   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No need to request permission", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

The app is saying that it needs to request permission, but it is just not prompting the request permission dialog. What is wrong with my code?

This are the permissions I added and use in the manifest file.

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PROFILE" />
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>


   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
   <uses-permission android:name="android.Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"/>

   <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera"/>
   <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus"/>
   <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.front"/>
   <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.front.autofocus"/>

   <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.sensor.accelerometer" android:required="true"/>
   <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.sensor.gyroscope" android:required="true"/>
   <uses-feature android:name="android.software.vr.mode" android:required="true"/>
   <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.vr.high_performance" android:required="true"/>

Answer 1

For RECORD_AUDIO permission, correct permission string is

android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO

In your manifest you are using

<uses-permission android:name="android.Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"/>

which in incorrect and it must be

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