How can I troubleshoot and resolve the issue of “load key bad permission” when trying to access the location services?

191    Asked by bhusha_8629 in AWS , Asked on May 20, 2024

 I am currently working as a software developer on a mobile app that requires access to a user's location for location-based services. However, during testing, I encountered an error which was stating that “load key bad permission” when trying to access the location services. How can I troubleshoot and resolve the issue?

 In the context of AWS, here are the steps given for how you can troubleshoot and resolve the issue of “load key bad permission” while trying to access the location services:-

First, you would need to ensure that you have declared the necessary permission in your Android Manifest. XML file. For location Access, you would need the following permission:-


Next, in your java or kotlin code, you would needed to check if the permission is granted before accessing the location services. Here is an example given in kotlin:-

If (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)

    == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    // Permission already granted, proceed with accessing location
    // Your code to access location here
} else {
    // Permission not granted, request it from the user
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
        This,
        arrayOf(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION),
        MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION
    )
}
// Handle the permission request response
Override fun onRequestPermissionsResult(
    requestCode: Int,
    permissions: Array,
    grantResults: IntArray
) {
    When (requestCode) {
        MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION -> {
            // If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty
            If ((grantResults.isNotEmpty() && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)) {
                // Permission granted, proceed with accessing location
                // Your code to access location here
            } else {
                // Permission denied, handle accordingly (e.g., show an error message)
            }
            Return
        }
        // Handle other permissions if needed
    }
}
Here is the example of java Given:-
Import android.Manifest;
Import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
Import android.os.Bundle;
Import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
Import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
Import androidx.core.app.ActivityCompat;
Import androidx.core.content.ContextCompat;
Public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    Private static final int MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION = 1001;
    @Override
    Protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        Super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        // Check if permission is granted
        If (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
                == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            // Permission already granted, proceed with accessing location
            // Your code to access location here
        } else {
            // Permission not granted, request it from the user
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
                    This,
                    New String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
                    MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION
            );
        }
    }
    // Handle the permission request response
    @Override
    Public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
        Super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
        If (requestCode == MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION) {
            // If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty
            If (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                // Permission granted, proceed with accessing location
                // Your code to access location here
            } else {
                // Permission denied, handle accordingly (e.g., show an error message)
            }
        }
        // Handle other permissions if needed
    }
}
Here is the example given in Python code (assuming you are using Kivy):-
From kivy.app import App
From kivy.uix.button import Button
From android.permissions import Permission, request_permissions, check_permission
From plyer import gps
Class MyApp(App):
    Def build(self):
        Layout = Button(text=”Access Location”)
        Layout.bind(on_press=self.check_location_permission)
        Return layout
    Def check_location_permission(self, instance):
        If check_permission(Permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION):
            # Permission already granted, proceed with accessing location
            Self.start_gps()
        Else:
            # Permission not granted, request it from the user
            Request_permissions([Permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION])
            # The permission result will be handled by on_request_permissions_result method
    Def on_request_permissions_result(self, permissions, grant_results):
        If Permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION in permissions:
            If grant_results[permissions.index(Permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)]:
                # Permission granted, proceed with accessing location
                Self.start_gps()
            Else:
                # Permission denied, handle accordingly (e.g., show an error message)
                Pass
    Def start_gps(self):
        Gps.configure(on_location=self.on_location)
        Gps.start()
    Def on_location(self, **kwargs):
        # Handle location data here
        Latitude = kwargs.get(‘lat’)
        Longitude = kwargs.get(‘lon’)
        Print(f”Latitude: {latitude}, Longitude: {longitude}”)
If __name__ == ‘__main__’:
    MyApp().run()
