display pop-up window in foreground and in background

[bmp123]

Question

is it possible to request xiaomi permissions to display pop-up window in foreground and in background?

[zoontek]

@bmp123 Only in foreground, using Android Permissions API.

@zoontek I don't found anything about this permissions in android documentation, maybe you can give link?

[zoontek]

Sorry I didn't understand correctly your question at first. A bit more context (and the screenshot) helped.

We support Android permissions from the manifest: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission. If it's not specific to MIUI (Xiaomi OS), it should be in it.

[bmp123]

But if it's specific to MIUI how can I get this permissions programmatically? Maybe you know

[bmp123]

Or these permissions get's only from settings?

[zoontek]

I search for it on internet without any success. I only found https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59645936/displaying-popup-windows-while-running-in-the-background, but there is not code to request the permission directly 😞

[bmp123]

thank you so much for your answers

[dev-Shivam96]

you can directly open other permission screen for MIUI (Xiaomi OS) devices using following code:

Intent intent = new Intent("miui.intent.action.APP_PERM_EDITOR"); intent.setClassName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.permissions.PermissionsEditorActivity"); intent.putExtra("extra_pkgname", getPackageName()); startActivity(intent);

but, now problem is how we can check is permission is granted or not ?
If anyone know, please tell me how can check permission.

I see that the background pop up window permission is granted by default for apps like Amazon Music and Airbnb. How come that's possible for them?

Anyone found solution yet?

I'm gonna have to ask as well: anyone found a solution yet?
related issue being: when tapping on a received notification, it doesn't open the app.

If you download application from Play Store, you application automatically granted SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission.

I see that the background pop up window permission is granted by default for apps like Amazon Music and Airbnb. How come that's possible for them?

did you find out how they get that permission automatically?

They are white-listed by OEM on MIUI, thats how they got this permission automatically
