LocationManager: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError

Question

I am new to this community, but I have learned a lot from you! Actually, I started programming on Android Studio, but now I'm stuck somewhere. I am sure it is simple, you will quickly find out.

It works in the Nexus 5 API 23 emulator (already installed in Android Studio), but it does not start on my Android 5.1.1 API 22 mobile.

Sorry for the bad post. Btw: I could not find a solution on the Internet ...

Hi

Answer 1

Temporary permissions were introduced in API 23 in the same way as the methods used to process them. Use the methods of the ActivityCompat class to handle this with backward compatibility.

 if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { ... } 

And so on.
