My simple solution is this  if  ContextCompat checkSelfPermission this  android Manifest permission ACCESS FINE LOCATION             PackageManager PERMISSION GRANTED  amp  amp          ContextCompat checkSelfPermission this  android Manifest permission ACCESS COARSE LOCATION             PackageManager PERMISSION GRANTED        googleMap setMyLocationEnabled true       googleMap getUiSettings   setMyLocationButtonEnabled true     else       Toast makeText this  R string error permission map  Toast LENGTH LONG  show        or you can open permission dialog in else like this    else      ActivityCompat requestPermissions this  new String           Manifest permission ACCESS FINE LOCATION         Manifest permission ACCESS COARSE LOCATION           TAG CODE PERMISSION LOCATION

ACCESS COARSE LOCATION  ACCESS FINE LOCATION  and WRITE EXTERNAL STORAGE are all part of the Android 6 0 runtime permission system  In addition to having them in the manifest as you do  you also have to request them from the user at runtime  using requestPermissions    and see if you have them  using checkSelfPermission      One workaround in the short term is to drop your targetSdkVersion below 23   But  eventually  you will want to update your app to use the runtime permission system   For example  this activity works with five permissions  Four are runtime permissions  though it is presently only handling three  I wrote it before WRITE EXTERNAL STORAGE was added to the runtime permission roster          Copyright  c  2015 CommonsWare  LLC  Licensed under the Apache License

parameters just be  ACCESS COARSE LOCATION   Or should I include the full name  android permission ACCESS COARSE LOCATION     I would use the constants defined on Manifest permission  as shown above      Also  what is the request code    That will be passed back to you as the first parameter to onRequestPermissionsResult    so you can tell one requestPermissions   call from another

CAUSE   Beginning in Android 6 0  API level 23   users grant permissions to apps while the app is running  not when they install the app   In this case   ACCESS FINE LOCATION  is a  dangerous permission and for that reason  you get this  java lang SecurityException   gps  location provider requires ACCESS FINE LOCATION permission   error  https   developer android com training permissions requesting html    SOLUTION  Implementing the code provided at https   developer android com training permissions requesting html under the  Request the permissions you need  and  Handle the permissions request response  headings
