I've recently discovered that Android M locks down the option to automatically allow users to draw over other apps, which is outlined in this article http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/09/07/android-m-begins-locking-down-floating-apps-requires-users-to-grant-special-permission-to-draw-on-other-apps/

So I've tried to upgrade my API to 23 to account for this change. As outlined in this post Permission from manifest doesn't work in Android 6. However, the Settings.canDrawOverlay() and others don't seem to appear in my Android SDK. I was wondering if I missed anything in upgrading my SDK.

Thanks in advance!

Set your compileSdkVersion to 23 in your module's build.gradle file. Or, if you are using Eclipse, set your Build Target to android-23.
