Check permission Always return success

I used checkPermission method but its always returning success even when permission is not granted. Here’s my code:

CheckPermissions(data) { this.androidPermissions.checkPermission(this.androidPermissions.PERMISSION.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE).then( success => { console.log('Permission already granted'); this.playVideo(data); }, err => console.log('Cannot check for permission')); }

What am i missing?

You aren’t checking the result in the success callback.

The success callback of the checkPermission() method returns an object that looks like: hasPermission: true or hasPermission: false

Try changing your code like this:

CheckPermissions(data) { this.androidPermissions.checkPermission(this.androidPermissions.PERMISSION.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE).then( success => { if (success.hasPermission){ console.log('Permission already granted'); this.playVideo(data); } else { console.log('Permission not already granted'); } }, err => console.log('Cannot check for permission')); }

You might also want to rename the ‘success’ variable to something like ‘result’ or ‘data’ to make the code a bit easier to read.

what is your target SDK in config.xml? if it is 23, then popup window, will never show up, but permissions will granted, and if you will change to 24 and up, the popup window should appear.
