checkSelfPermission always return 0 in Android

I have an app to get user location with permissions.My target API=25 btw

Once I have given permission that It doesn't ask me for request permission anymore.

I have checked with debug my hasCoarseLocationPermission and hasFineLocationPermission always return 0(GRANTED) after giving permission.

But if I clear the app data asking for permission again(returns -1).But I always want to ask for permission when I open the application(must return -1 not 0).How can i do that?

Thanks in advance.

int hasCoarseLocationPermission=ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(Kirala3.this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION);
int hasFineLocationPermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(Kirala3.this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);

I've tried also with PermissionChecker function but it returns same value(0).

Asking the user for permissions is not something an app is supposed to do at each launch. Once the app has been granted a permission, it has the permission until it is revoked by the user. What you describe is happening sounds correct:

  1. First launch the app calls checkSelfPermission and gets back PERMISSION_DENIED
  2. The app requests the permission and is granted by the user
  3. Subsequent launches of the app also still call checkSelfPermission (which is exactly what it should do.) Now the returned value is PERMISSION_GRANTED. This is expected. No new permission request from the user is required.
  4. Manually reset the app data and revoke the permissions in the Settings app
  5. Launch the app again and checkSelfPermission returns PERMISSION_DENIED, the app must ask the user for permission again.

Use this function for checking location permission

    public boolean isLocationPermissionEnabled() {

        return !(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23 &&
                ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(mActivity, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED &&
                ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(mActivity, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
    }

Try with ActivityCompat

if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                return;
            }
