Sure, here is the code to check storage permission in Android:

public boolean checkStoragePermission() { // Check if the permission has already been granted int permissionStatus = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);

Code snippet

```plaintext
// If the permission has not been granted, request it
if (permissionStatus != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 100);
    return false;
} else {
    // The permission has already been granted
    return true;
}
```

}

This code will first check if the `WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permission has already been granted. If it has not been granted, the code will request the permission from the user. If the user grants the permission, the code will return `true`. Otherwise, the code will return `false`.

To use this code, you would need to call the `checkStoragePermission()` method in your app. For example, you could call the method in your app's `onCreate()` method.

Here is an example of how you could call the `checkStoragePermission()` method in your app's `onCreate()` method:

public void onCreate() { super.onCreate();

Code snippet

```plaintext
// Check if the storage permission has been granted
if (checkStoragePermission()) {
    // The permission has already been granted
} else {
    // Request the permission
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 100);
}
```

## Code for storage permission

public void checkForStoragePermission(){

if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

## // Permission is not granted

## // Should we show an explanation

if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {

// Show an explanation to the user *asynchronously* -- don't block

// this thread waiting for the user's response! After the user

// sees the explanation, try again to request the permission.

ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},

MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_STORAGE);

}

} else {

Toast.makeText(this, "Permission granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

}

if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

// Permission is not granted

Toast.makeText(this, "Permission needed to read images", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}

}
