Android Studio isn't recognizing the checkSelfPermission

Is it possible to run Google Sample - RuntimePermissionsBasic

On devices with OS less than MNC (Android M)?

This project comes with:

compileSdkVersion "android-MNC"
targetSdkVersion "MNC"

So far so good, running it on less than M OS will get:

INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK

But when I changed it to:

compileSdkVersion 22
targetSdkVersion "MNC"

The Android Studio isn't recognizing the checkSelfPermission (...) method

Try to add ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission() instead just checkSelfPermission...for me it works...

That is because setting compileSdkVersion to android-MNC forces the minSdkVersion to MNC by default. There are recipes for changing that behavior.

checkSelfPermission() was introduced in the M Developer Preview and does not exist on older versions of Android.
