android - How to enable screen overlay permission by default

Question

How can I enable screen overlay permission by default while install application.

Now I facing some problem, when capture image asking run time permission some device not allow the permission it open screen overlay settings dialog. at user point of view, they don't know why the dialog showing and what they do.

when open the overlay settings screen some of applications automatically enable the screen overlay permission.

Below I use the code.

 if (!Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)) {
        Intent myIntent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION);
        startActivityForResult(myIntent, 101);
 }  

This code directly open the overlay settings screen. their showing list of all application.

My requirement is showing permission specific application or enable overlay permission with out user interaction.

Send your package name inside the intent, as mentioned in the documentation.

Input: Optionally, the Intent's data URI can specify the application package name to directly invoke the management GUI specific to the package name. For example "package:com.my.app".

So, do something like this:

if (!Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)) {
    int REQUEST_CODE = 101;
    Intent myIntent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION);
    myIntent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName()));
    startActivityForResult(myIntent, REQUEST_CODE);
}
