[ANDROID]`GeolocatorPlatform.requestPermission()` returns `deniedForever` when dismissing the dialog

[DominicOrga]

🐛 Bug Report

When dismissing the permission dialog by pressing on the background, GeolocatorPlatform.requestPermission() erroneously returns deniedForever. However, when you fetch the location permission via GeolocatorPlatform.checkPermission(), this returns denied which is the correct location permission.

Expected behavior

Dismissing the GeolocatorPlatform.requestPermission should return the current location permission instead of deniedForever.

Reproduction steps

Step 1: Show the request permission dialog Step 2: Dismiss the dialog by tapping on the background (This returns a location permission) Step 3: Fetch the location permission

By comparing the location permissions obtained from Step 2 and Step 3, we get two different results.

Configuration

Version: 8.2.0

Platform:

• [ ] :iphone: iOS

Hi @DominicOrga

Unfortunately the Android SDK doesn't support this. This is explained into more detail in this comment for issue #1087.

Also have a look at our Wiki page.
