google maps - Android app closes when showing location permissions request dialog

Question

I'm building a map application so I want to request location permissions at runtime. Actually the app closes by itself when the location permissions shows up.

I have to select the permission and then to open the app again.

Here is the code:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
    // Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
    SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
            .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
    mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
    mapView = mapFragment.getView();

    getSupportActionBar().setTitle("My map");
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);


    if ( Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23){
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) !=
                PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED  ){
            requestPermissions(new String[]{
                            android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
                    LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE);
            //Provo a chiamare un dialog per la localizzazione
            settingsrequest();
            return ;
        }
    }
    fusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);
    MobileAds.initialize(this);

    mAdView = findViewById(R.id.adView);
    AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
    mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);

}

public void settingsrequest() {
    LocationRequest mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
    mLocationRequest.setInterval(10);
    mLocationRequest.setSmallestDisplacement(10);
    mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(10);
    mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
    LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new
            LocationSettingsRequest.Builder();
    builder.addLocationRequest(mLocationRequest);

    Task<LocationSettingsResponse> task = LocationServices.getSettingsClient(this).checkLocationSettings(builder.build());

    task.addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<LocationSettingsResponse>() {
        @Override
        public void onComplete(Task<LocationSettingsResponse> task) {
            try {
                LocationSettingsResponse response = task.getResult(ApiException.class);
                // All location settings are satisfied. The client can initialize location
                // requests here.

            } catch (ApiException exception) {
                switch (exception.getStatusCode()) {
                    case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
                        // Location settings are not satisfied. But could be fixed by showing the
                        // user a dialog.
                        try {
                            // Cast to a resolvable exception.
                            ResolvableApiException resolvable = (ResolvableApiException) exception;
                            // Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(),
                            // and check the result in onActivityResult().
                            resolvable.startResolutionForResult(
                                    MapsActivity.this,
                                    101);
                        } catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
                            // Ignore the error.
                        } catch (ClassCastException e) {
                            // Ignore, should be an impossible error.
                        }
                        break;
                    case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
                        // Location settings are not satisfied. However, we have no way to fix the
                        // settings so we won't show the dialog.
                        break;
                }
            }
        }
    });


}

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
    if (requestCode != LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE) {
        return;
    }

    if (PermissionUtils.isPermissionGranted(permissions, grantResults, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)) {
        // Enable the my location layer if the permission has been granted.
        enableMyLocation();
    } else {
        // Permission was denied. Display an error message
        // Display the missing permission error dialog when the fragments resume.
        permissionDenied = true;
    }
}

public void setUpMap() {
    if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

        return;

                    if (location != null) {

                    }
                }
            });
}

@SuppressLint("MissingPermission")
@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    mMap = googleMap;
    mMap.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(true);
    mMap.setOnMyLocationButtonClickListener(this);
    mMap.setOnMyLocationClickListener(this);
    enableMyLocation();
    setUpMap();

do something here...
}

I tried to search on a lot of other questions but nothing is resolving my issue. Since the full code is not relevant, I pasted functions about permissions. The map is working well after permissions granted.

Answer 1

DeadObjectException - This means that your service had already stopped - either killed from the OS, or stopped from your application.

Check this and this

And it may be memory leak problem. Check this answer
