QLocationPermission and background location in Android - 6.8.0

Justin Steventon

I sometimes need background location for my Android app. However, if I have already requested (and been granted) non-background location, then it does not prompt and denies.

So this always denies without prompt if regular location permission was previously granted:

    auto permission = QLocationPermission();
    permission.setAccuracy(QLocationPermission::Precise);
    permission.setAvailability(QLocationPermission::Always);
    qApp->request...

My guess is that the implementation mixes location and background location logic. While the Android UI does combine these concepts, they are actually entirely separate permissions.

Thanks!
