How to properly call Permission to work with geolocation?

Question

Android

Good afternoon everyone, at the moment when I ask the user for permission to work with geolocation, the application stops working.

private static final int PERMISSION_REQUEST = 1;
@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
     if(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, PERMISSION_REQUEST);
        }else{
            setCurrentGeo();
        }
     }

Here is what LogCat says

Crashes on a line with a condition

if(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)

At the same time, if there is permission for geolocation, then the application goes on as expected and works properly, so the question arose how to correctly call the permission dialog in this case? Another note, after the application has completed the robot, a dialog appears to allow the application to work with geolocation.
Permissions in the manifest

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

Answer 1

In your case (judging by the error log), the problem is not in the permission request, but in the fact that your map is trying to get coordinates when the user has not yet given the green light to gps
