Request multiple permissions by requestPermissions() but onRequestPermissionsResult receives only single permission result

I'm implementing app permission flow to use geo location. I requested ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION by requestPermissions() in a Fragment.

requestPermissions(
  arrayOf(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,
    Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION),
    PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
  )

companion object {
        private const val PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION = 1
  :
}

And I received the request permissions result by onRequestPermissionsResult() in Fragment.

override fun onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode: Int, permissions: Array<out String>, grantResults: IntArray) {
        when (requestCode) {
            PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION -> {
                if (grantResults.isNotEmpty() &&
                    grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                    // User granted permission in system dialog
                } else {
                  // User denied permissions
                }
            }
        }
    }

But onRequestPermissionsResult() strangely received only single permission which was ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION in the second parameter as permissions: Array. And checkSelfPermission() also returned false even choosing allow in a system dialog.

// this condition returns false after receiving permission result on onRequestPermissionsResult()
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(requireContext(),
                Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
                == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED &&
                ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(requireContext(),
                    Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) {
}

I wonder why onRequestPermissionsResult() received only ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION as the result, even though I request multiple permissions by giving array of ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION when I call requestPermissions().

Could you please explain to me why permissions request only returns the single permission result?

Thank you in advance for your help.

You need to use only single permission for ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION. You don't need to use both. Because your request permission ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION is include both ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.

For handle multiple permissions I'm highly recommended the below library is perfectly handle every scenarios.

Dexter: com.karumi:dexter:6.#.#

For multiple permissions you could use:

Dexter.withContext(this)
    .withPermissions(
        Manifest.permission.CAMERA,
        Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS,
        Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO
    ).withListener(new MultiplePermissionsListener() {
        @Override public void onPermissionsChecked(MultiplePermissionsReport report) {/* ... */}
        @Override public void onPermissionRationaleShouldBeShown(List<PermissionRequest> permissions, PermissionToken token) {/* ... */}
    }).check();

Good luck
