Let's Coding

So, after we write permission that what we need.
now we can coding to request permission.

Delete all code on App.js and paste this code below

import React from 'react';
import {Button, Linking, PermissionsAndroid, ScrollView} from 'react-native';

const PERMISSIONS_TYPE = [
  'READ_CALENDAR',
  'WRITE_CALENDAR',
  'CAMERA',
  'READ_CONTACTS',
  'WRITE_CONTACTS',
  'GET_ACCOUNTS',
  'ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION',
  'ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION',
  'ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION',
  'RECORD_AUDIO',
  'READ_PHONE_STATE',
  'CALL_PHONE',
  'READ_CALL_LOG',
  'WRITE_CALL_LOG',
  'ADD_VOICEMAIL',
  'USE_SIP',
  'PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS',
  'BODY_SENSORS',
  'SEND_SMS',
  'RECEIVE_SMS',
  'READ_SMS',
  'RECEIVE_WAP_PUSH',
  'RECEIVE_MMS',
  'READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE',
  'WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE',
  'BLUETOOTH_CONNECT',
  'BLUETOOTH_SCAN',
  'BLUETOOTH_ADVERTISE',
  'ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION',
  'ACCEPT_HANDOVER',
  'ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION',
  'ANSWER_PHONE_CALLS',
  'READ_PHONE_NUMBERS',
  'UWB_RANGING',
];

async function requestPermission(PERMISSION_TYPE) {
  try {
    const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
      PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS[PERMISSION_TYPE],
    );

    if (granted === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
      console.log(`You can use ${PERMISSION_TYPE}`);
    } else {
      console.log(`${PERMISSION_TYPE} permission denied`);
    }
  } catch (err) {
    console.warn(err);
  }
}

export default function App() {
  return (
    <ScrollView>
      {PERMISSIONS_TYPE.map((TYPE, index) => (
        <Button
          key={index}
          color={index % 2 === 0 ? 'dodgerblue' : 'blue'} // to make odd event button color
          title={`Allow ${TYPE}`}
          onPress={() => requestPermission(TYPE)}
        />
      ))}
      <Button
        color="black"
        title="Open Settings"
        onPress={() => Linking.openSettings()} // opens settings your app
      />
    </ScrollView>
  );
