Recently i was studying about 6.0 runtime permissions and found it very interesting from both developer point of view as well as user.
On the basis of that i've developed a small demo which i am sharing and will help us understanding 6.0 runtime permissions in a better way.
So earlier we use to define permissions in the manifest and then simply use that feature in code. It is same for pre-marshmallow Devices but for Marshmallow and above we need to check for permissions first i.e if their are granted by user or not in order to perform certain functionalities.
For example if i want to perform a call feature in 6.0 then i need to ask for permission from user before using it. So if user allows/grant that permission then only i'll be able to perform that functionality ahead, else i can't. So lets look into code how this works :
1. MainActivity.java
3. AndroidManifest.xml

Happy coding!!
