Here is detailed example with multiple permission requests:-
The app needs 2 permissions at startup . SEND_SMS and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION (both are mentioned in manifest.xml).
I am using Support Library v4 which is prepared to handle Android pre-Marshmallow and so no need to check build versions.
As soon as the app starts up, it asks for multiple permissions together. If both permissions are granted the normal flow goes.

public static final int REQUEST_ID_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS = 1;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if(checkAndRequestPermissions()) {
// carry on the normal flow, as the case of permissions granted.
}
}
private boolean checkAndRequestPermissions() {
int permissionSendMessage = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS);
int locationPermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
List<String> listPermissionsNeeded = new ArrayList<>();
if (locationPermission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
}
if (permissionSendMessage != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.SEND_SMS);
}
if (!listPermissionsNeeded.isEmpty()) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, listPermissionsNeeded.toArray(new String[listPermissionsNeeded.size()]),REQUEST_ID_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);
return false;
}
return true;
}
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(), ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(), ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale() are part of support library.
In case one or more permissions are not granted, ActivityCompat.requestPermissions() will request permissions and the control goes to onRequestPermissionsResult() callback method.
You should check the value of shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale() flag in onRequestPermissionsResult() callback method.
There are only two cases:--
Case 1:-Any time user clicks Deny permissions (including the very first time), it will return true. So when the user denies, we can show more explanation and keep asking again
Case 2:-Only if user select “never asks again” it will return false. In this case, we can continue with limited functionality and guide user to activate the permissions from settings for more functionalities, or we can finish the setup, if the permissions are trivial for the app.
CASE -1
