requestPermission not showing in support Fragment

Question

I know this question has been asked number of times but none of the methods are working for me. I have a v4.nested fragment and I am calling requestPermission but I don't even get the dialog to show and hence onRequestPermissionsResult is not getting called. I have tried call the onRequestPermissionsResult in both my Activity and Fragment but nothing is working. I am using appcompat-v7:23.3.0 so I was expecting the dialog and hence the result. Any help? Thanks

Code

public void ask(){
    Log.e("Here", "Permission");
    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.CAMERA) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED &&
            ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) ==
                    PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        Log.e("Here", "Granted");

        if (what == 1){
            PackageManager pm = getActivity().getPackageManager();
            if (pm.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA)) {
                Intent i = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
                getActivity().startActivityForResult(i, CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST);
            } else {
                Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Can't detect Camera on device", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        }
        else{
            Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
            getActivity().startActivityForResult(i, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);
        }
    }
    else{
        Log.e("Here", "Ask");
        if (useRuntimePermissions()) {
            if (shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
                showMessageOKCancel("You need to allow access to Device Storage",
                        new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                                requestPermissions(new String[] {Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 3);
                                Log.e("A", "ash");
                            }
                        });
            } else {
                requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},2);
                Log.e("B", "Should be Asked by now");
            }
        }
    }
}

                }

                    getActivity().startActivityForResult(i, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);
                }
            }
            else {
                Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Camera Request not granted. Please enable it at App Settings", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
            return;
        }
    }
}

The ask() method is called from a button tap onsetClickListener and LogA and LogB are logging but the permission dialog doesn't show.
