Please give me a solution that how to access RunTimeLocation Permission

Answer 1

You can copy paste run full code below
The following code has tested in Emulator and works well
Step 1: Add permission to AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>

Step 2: Use package:permission_handler

 void requestPermission() async {
    Map<Permission, PermissionStatus> statuses =
        await [Permission.location].request();
  }

Step 3: You can use androidOnGeolocationPermissionsShowPrompt
You can show dialog to ask user allow or denied
and return GeolocationPermissionShowPromptResponse base on selection
code snippet

InAppWebView(
       ...
        androidOnGeolocationPermissionsShowPrompt:
            (InAppWebViewController controller, String origin) async {
          bool result = await showDialog<bool>(
            context: context,
            barrierDismissible: false, // user must tap button!
            builder: (BuildContext context) {
              return AlertDialog(
                title: Text('Allow access location $origin'),
                content: SingleChildScrollView(
                  child: ListBody(
                    children: <Widget>[
                      Text('Allow access location $origin'),
                    ],
                  ),
                ),
                actions: <Widget>[
                  TextButton(
                    child: Text('Allow'),
                    onPressed: () {
                      Navigator.of(context).pop(true);
                    },
                  ),
                  TextButton(
                    child: Text('Denied'),
                    onPressed: () {
                      Navigator.of(context).pop(false);
                    },
                  ),
                ],
              );
            },
          );
          if (result) {
            return Future.value(GeolocationPermissionShowPromptResponse(
                origin: origin, allow: true, retain: true));
          } else {
            return Future.value(GeolocationPermissionShowPromptResponse(
                origin: origin, allow: false, retain: false));
