Request Permission at runtime:
The above code fail when install on device running Android 6+! Because start from Android 6, your apps have to request user approve permissions at runtime. The following example show how to check and request permission at runtime. You still have to declare uses-permission of "android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" in manifest.
When run on devices below Android 6, permission will be granted at install time. When run on Android 6+, you have to check permission at runtime before perform the task and ask user for approval if need.
