The question is published on by Tutorial Guruji team.
Okay so I project which is supposed to check if an app has been installed correctly. It checks the language, the version, if the app has received all the permission it needs and more. At the moment I am having difficulties with the permission part of the project.
The idea is correct (or at least so said another person) but the line which I marked with “/This is the problem line” does not return the right value. I had it connected to an app and all that stuff but it only returned -1 even though the permission did exist in the package and was enabled.
Also part of the scrip or at least the names and arrays and all that are not in English, if needed I can translate it. I would be really grateful for some help!

//All of this gets shown when a button is clicked

Answer
I tried to simulate the same but I too faced the same problem. But then I tried modifying the permissions as “android.permission.CAMERA” and then it worked. I am attaching my code below for your reference
String[] permissions = {"android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION",
"android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION",
"android.permission.CALL_PHONE",
"android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS",
"android.permission.READ_CALENDAR",
"android.permission.CAMERA"};
for(int iter = 0;iter < permissions.length;iter++){
PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();
int permInt = packageManager.checkPermission(permissions[iter],getApplicationContext().getPackageName());
...
}
