Android System overlay window

Question

I\'m trying to create a system overlay. But I keep getting \"permission denied\". I\'m using SDK version 23.

My manifest file:

Answer 1

In AndroidManifest (for version < 23)

public static int ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE= 5469;
//Random value

    public void testPermission() {
        if (!Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION,
                    Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName()));
            startActivityForResult(intent, ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE);
        }
    }

Result :

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE) {
        if (Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)) {
            // You have permission
        }
    }
}
