android-6.0-marshmallow

I'm running through many permissions tagged PROTECTION_NORMAL and PROTECTION_DANGEROUS in a ListView . Upon click my application calls ActivityCompat.requestPermission() . All permissions I tested (by that I mean all normal and dangerous permissions for API-7 and above I could find ) are working fine on my Emulator, except for some: CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE Requesting CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE always returns PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED (without even prompting). I would expect it granted by default since it's flagged normal , or if the documentation is wrong, to be prompted for it then. GET

as you know the permission system on Android M has been updated. I currently use the permission GET_ACCOUNTS to autocomplete the user email when he sign in/sign up on my app. final ArrayList<String> emails = new ArrayList<String>(); for (Account account : AccountManager.get(this).getAccounts()) { emails.add(account.name); } email.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<>(this, android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, emails)); The problem is that on Android M, to continue to use this feature, I'll need to ask the user for the permission to read his accounts. That doesn't make sense because to save the

My application stopped working once I upgraded to Marshmallow, it was supposed to be able to change the WiFi connection, but now it doesn't do anything at all. I've spent some time reading about the new permission model of the Android 6.0. Well awesome, but old apps should continue working... Anyway, I started trying to implement the granting of permission, but realized that this is a normal permission and there should be done no permission request for it if it's defined in android manifest: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" /> The permission has always been

Let me preface this with I have already read through Android "Screen Overlay Detected" message if user is trying to grant a permission when a notification is showing and I understand exactly what the overlay problem is. I also understand how to request it as well as how to check if my current running app has permission to draw on overlays (!Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)). I was getting scolded for my app because every time a permission request would popup, the overlays popup would be shown and even though users gave permission for my application to draw overlays, they could never get past the

I'm looking to create a custom menu for text selection. I know it's possible to edit the behaviour of the action bar with setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback, but in my case I don't want that action bar to show at all, I want my own floating custom menu which I have already achieved. Only thing is that there is no way to not show the action bar menu after selecting the text in the TextView. The behaviour I need is not the standard cut/copy/paste, the actions I have implemented are for highlighting and saving the highlighted section of text to a database. I have done some tinkering and the
