Handling Camera Permission Result - Flutter

Question

I am using below method to check whether Camera permission is granted or not:

//Global variable
int cameraPermission = -1;

Future<void> checkCameraPermission() async {
cameraPermissionStatus = await Permission.camera.status;
print(">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>\ncamera permission >> " +
    cameraPermissionStatus.name);
if (cameraPermissionStatus.name == "granted") {
  cameraPermission = 1;
  scheduleTimeout(4 * 1000);
} else if (cameraPermissionStatus.name == "denied") {
  cameraPermission = 2;
} else {
  cameraPermission=0;
}
    setState(() {});
}

calling above method in initState() inside addPostFrameCallback

Reflecting view in build method as below:

return Column(
            children: [
              cameraPermission==1
                  ? Expanded(flex: 2, child: buildCameraPreview())
                  : cameraPermission==2
                      ? Container(
                          child: InkWell(
                          onTap: () async {
                            await Permission.camera.request();
                          },
                          child: Padding(
                              padding: EdgeInsets.only(top: 200.h),
                              child: Text(
                                  "Tap here to grant Camera Permission")),
                        ))
                      : cameraPermission==0
                          ? Center(
                              child: InkWell(
                              onTap: () {
                                openAppSettings();
                              },
                              child: Text(
                                  "Tap here to grant Camera permission\nfrom application Settings"),
                            ))
                          : Container(),

The Issue is by default is displays "denied" view (cameraPermission==2) which is okay, But since I have called checkCameraPermission method in init inside addPostFrameCallback,

It should reflect once I grant or allow camera permission from opened permission dialog but it not reflecting view. After going back to previous screen and coming back its working.

What might be the issue? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The addPostFrameCallback will be called immediately after rendering that frame and your camera permission will be still denied. So either you need to request the permission in the checkCameraPermission method. Or call it after you request the permission.

Container(
   child: InkWell(
      onTap: () async {
         await checkCameraPermission();
      },
      child: Padding(
         padding: EdgeInsets.only(top: 200.h),
         child: Text("Tap here to grant Camera Permission"),
      ),
   ),
),

And change the implementation like:

Future<void> checkCameraPermission() async {
   cameraPermissionStatus = await Permission.camera.request();
   print(">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>\ncamera permission >> " + cameraPermissionStatus.name);
   if (cameraPermissionStatus.name == "granted") {
      cameraPermission = 1;
      scheduleTimeout(4 * 1000);
   } else if (cameraPermissionStatus.name == "denied") {
      cameraPermission = 2;
   } else {
      cameraPermission=0;
   }
   setState(() {});
}
