I'm trying to make my app ready for Android 6 and now I'm stuck to the point where you need to request and check permissions.
I tried the following from the docs:
int permissionCheck = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity,
Manifest.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR);
The problem is that Android Studio says Cannot resolve method 'checkSelfPermission'.
I already included the appcompat and support lib. ContextCompat is known to AS but the method itself isn't known. I don't know what am I doing wrong - in another project I can write this method and it gets recognized.
TargetAPI is 23.
Does anyone know a solution?
Oh my godness - what a stupid mistake.
AS imported the supportlib as a jar and this jar was from like 2014. I just replaced the jarimport with the real dependency and know it is working.
Thanks for your help guys!
