How permission can be checked at runtime without throwing SecurityException

Question

I design a function that may get set a resource from SD and if not found from sd then take it from Asset and if possible write the asset back to SD This function may check by method invocation if SD is mounted and accessible     boolean bSDisAvalaible   Environment getExternalStorageState   equals Environment MEDIA MOUNTED     My designed function may be used from one app project  to another  with or without android permission WRITE EXTERNAL STORAGE   Then I would like to check if the current application has this particular permission without playing with SecurityException   Does it exist a  nice  way to consult current defined permissions at runtime

You should check for permissions in the following way  as described here Android permissions    int result   ContextCompat checkSelfPermission getContext    Manifest permission READ PHONE STATE     then  compare your result to either   result    PackageManager PERMISSION DENIED   or   result    PackageManager PERMISSION GRANTED
