Basically since android 6 you need to ask certain permissions on runtime , so the user may reject them.

Use checkSelfPermission(..) to ask for it and override onRequestPermissionsResult to see the answer.

Here's a link with the full example:

Thanks for this. Read a few threads and seem to have problem implementing. Came across this int permissionCheck = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR); but unsure what to use for thisActivity – Clair Jones Apr 23 '17 at 16:04
Well it depends where are you implemening it , you basically need the Activity context , if you're using it in an activity simply use "this" to get the activity reference , or getActivity() in a fragment and so on... – yanivtwin Apr 23 '17 at 16:12

Add the permission check in your activity:

in your code:

 @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.pig);
    TextView cow = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.cow);
    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, 0);
    }
    locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
    if (checkLocationPermission()) {
        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 10000, 1, this);
    }


}

public boolean checkLocationPermission() {
    String permission = "android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION";
    int res = this.checkCallingOrSelfPermission(permission);
    return (res == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
}

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
                                       String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode) {

        case 0: {
            if (grantResults.length > 0
                    && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Permission granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            } else {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Permission denied", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            return;
        }

        // other 'case' lines to check for other
        // permissions this app might request
    }
}

@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

}

@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {

}

@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {

}

@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {

}

Thanks for the help, but will that warning appear appear only the once, also I have code that does not have this checking. How come I need it on some and not others. — Clair Jones, Apr 23 '17 at 16:28
the warning will appear when you set your target or compile sdk version to 23 or above in manifest..and android has 2 types of permission normal and dangerous. on 'dangerous` permission you need to request permission in runtime and also check if the permission is granted or not.. — rafsanahmad007, Apr 23 '17 at 16:31
