Android Question Permission asked anyway before installation

[LucaMs]

I'm trying the runtime permissions for the first time.

I would ask PERMISSION_GET_ACCOUNTS only at runtime.

In the manifest file I set only the Android sdk target to 23, not the permission.

The list permission feature of the Logs tab does not show any permissions needed; despite this, the installation requires this permission (on a device with Android 4.4.2).

Why? Works it only on devices with Android 6 and above?

Project attached.


Thank you.

1. You need to add the permission to the manifest as before.
2. Runtime permissions is a feature of Android 6.0 and above so on devices with lower android versions the permissions will be asked at install time.

I must resign myself to this situation. However I do not know the reason for the strange "behavior":

Where this information is taken during the installation, if not from the Manifest file? And why the IDE does not detect this? (maybe just because the IDE reads the Manifest file)

You have added it to the manifest editor:

The line is not commented. You can use <!-- text here --> to make comments inside the text.

The IDE doesn't know it because you are not using AddPermission.
