I have Point of Service device this device has dual screen

When the target api is less than 22, It only worked if you had the permission . but Problem occurs when target api is 22 or higher problem is permission denied for this window type

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   Context context;
   DisplayManager mDisplayManager;
   DifferentDisplay mPresentation;
   DifferentDisplay2 mPresentation2;
   Display[]  displays;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    context = getApplicationContext();

    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){

    } else{
        //this is not working
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,new String[]{Manifest.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW},0);
    }


    mDisplayManager =(DisplayManager)context.getSystemService(Context.DISPLAY_SERVICE);
    displays = mDisplayManager.getDisplays();

    mPresentation = new DifferentDisplay(context,displays[1]);//displays[1] is the customer display)
    mPresentation.getWindow().setType(WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT);
    mPresentation.show();

    Button button = findViewById(R.id.button1);
    button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

            mPresentation2 = new DifferentDisplay2(context,displays[1]);//displays[1] is the customer display)
            mPresentation2.getWindow().setType(WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT);
            mPresentation2.show();


        }
    });

}
}

this is my logs

format your question properly (hint, {} button) and do not spam with irrelevant tags.Marcin Orlowski

 mPresentation.getWindow().setType(WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_TOAST);

This way, you do not need permissions. but

mPresentation.getWindow().setType(WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY);

Using it still causes problems Who has a better solution?
