Requires android.permission.READ_CALENDAR or android.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR

Question

I've given READ_CALENDAR and WRITE_CALENDAR permissions in my Manifest and in my installed app I've given Calendar runtime permission and I verified the same from app's settings.

But even though, on some devices I'm getting Requires android.permission.READ_CALENDAR or android.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR error! This is insane! Here is my logcat:

Additional info: I've integrated Etar-AOSP calendar app in my app.

Those require runtime permissions, not just manifest permissions on any modern version of Android.

First of all, you need to add permissions to your manifest.xml For calendar, you need to add this

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALENDAR" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR" />

At runtime, you need to ask for permission again. So, you can create some functions to check it. Declare a vble for your callback

final int callbackId = 42;

and call to your function for checking permissions

checkPermission(callbackId, Manifest.permission.READ_CALENDAR, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR);

And this is the function to declare:

private void checkPermission(int callbackId, String... permissionsId) {
boolean permissions = true;
for (String p : permissionsId) {
    permissions = permissions && ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, p) == PERMISSION_GRANTED;
}

if (!permissions)
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, permissionsId, callbackId);
}

Requires android.permission.READ_CALENDAR or android.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR
