I am trying add run time permissions android(6.0.1) API 23,If I use SDK version(min and target version both 23) it woks fine, like below,
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="23"
android:targetSdkVersion="23" />
If I change android:minSdkVersion(less then 23)
For example:
I am getting error below:
Call requires API level 23 (current min is 14):
android.app.Activity#requestPermissions,checkSelfPermission
For following 2 methods,
1)requestPermissions(permissionsList.toArray(new String[permissionsList.size()]),REQUEST_CODE_ASK_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS)
2)checkSelfPermission(permission)
I tried ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission()
and ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission()
both are not working.
What I missing could not understand..
Either check for target >=23 or simply add below line above your method
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
For example, If you are checking for storage permissions, then you can refer to this function,
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
public boolean CheckStoragePermission() {
int permissionCheckRead = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,
Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
if (permissionCheckRead != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale((Activity) context,
Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
// Show an expanation 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((Activity) context,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
Define.PERMISSION_STORAGE);
} else {
// No explanation needed, we can request the permission.
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions((Activity) context,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
Define.PERMISSION_STORAGE);
// MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS is an
// app-defined int constant. The callback method gets the
// result of the request.
}
return false;
} else
return true;
}
Check for permissions:
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(Context context, String permission)
Request permissions:
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(Activity activity, String[] permissions, int requestCode)
or inside a support-v4 Fragment
requestPermissions(String[] permissions, int requestCode)
try this way
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 23) {
// your code
} else {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
requestContactsPermissions1();
} else {
// your code
}
}
EDITED:
Add in dependencies block in lower-level(your app) build.gradle
:
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
or add below only if you need design support lib
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
use one of above
That is because checkSelfPermission()
was added in API 23. So you'll have to code conditionally like:
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=Build.VERSION_CODES.M){
//use checkSelfPermission()
} else {
//simply use the required feature
//as the user has already granted permission to them during installation
}
check the device sdk before calling the request permission
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT==Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
{
//call the request permission here
}
