I'm trying to programmatically call to a number with following code:

 String number = ("tel:" + numTxt.getText());
 Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
 intent.setData(Uri.parse(number));
 startActivity(intent);

I've set the permission in the Manifest: 

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

I'm working with real device for testing and debugging, it is Nexus 5 with Android M, my compileSdkVersion is 23. I'm getting the following Security Exception:

error: Permission Denial: starting Intent { act=android.intent.action.CALL dat=tel:xxxxxxxxxx cmp=com.android.server.telecom/.components.UserCallActivity } from ProcessRecord{cbbd7c1 5228:com.dialerTest.DialerApp/u0a96} (pid=5228, uid=10096) with revoked permission android.permission.CALL_PHONE

I've searched the web and this community for similar Q/A and couldn't find the answer. Any help will be appreciated.

In android 6.0 (Api lvl 23) we have something called "Runtime Permissions". You have to read about it.

You can find documentation here.
