If you're running in the android API version 23 or higher you'll need to require permissions at runtime. To ask for permissions you should do it right before using the feature that uses the permission:

int MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION = 123;
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity,
        Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
        != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    //app doesn't have permission yet

     ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(thisActivity,
                new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
                MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION);
} else {
    // Permission has already been granted
}

Then override the onRequestPermissionsResult to see if the user has given the permission:

public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
        String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode) {
        case MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION: {

            if (grantResults.length > 0
                && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                // permission was granted
            } else {
                // permission denied
            }
            return;
        }

    }
}

what is --> MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION – Sidharth arora Jun 07 '18 at 22:41
sorry, it's a simple int variable – Levi Moreira Jun 07 '18 at 22:41
sorry didn't understand how should I use this variable? I have pasted the code given by you in my onCreate method. First error was this-MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION – Sidharth arora Jun 07 '18 at 22:43
you need to declare it outside onCreate, i've edited the answer so you can see :) – Levi Moreira Jun 07 '18 at 22:44
can you tell me how to enable gps location also using runtime permission? – Sidharth arora Jun 07 '18 at 22:51
in this part of the code new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, you can add every permission you'd like to ask because this is an array :) – Levi Moreira Jun 07 '18 at 22:54
