Yeh After Marshmallow come Android make security level more stick, But For
SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW
you can show floating action and anything You can Force user to give permission for it By Following Codes in your onCreate() method
Put this code after setContentView
// Check if Android M or higher
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
// Show alert dialog to the user saying a separate permission is needed
// Launch the settings activity if the user prefers
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION);
startActivity(myIntent);
}
The action ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION directly launches the 'Draw over other apps' permission screen.
Edit:
My Above Code works 100% Correct
But I just found that many guys are still searching that how can allow ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION permanently like If user has allow Permission Once then don't ask it every time he open application so hear solution for you-
Check if device has API 23+
if 23+ API then check if user has permit or not
if had permit once don't drive him to Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION and if has not permit yet then ask for runtime permission check
Put below line in your onCreate() method. Put this after setContentView
checkPermission();
Now put below code in onActivityResult
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE) {
if (!Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)) {
// You don't have permission
checkPermission();
} else {
// Do as per your logic
}
}
}
Now finally the checkPermission method code
public void checkPermission() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
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);
}
}
}
And don't forget to declare this public variable in your class
public static int ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE = 5469;
