How to use ContextCompat in fragment? It says fragment cannot converted to context

I tried to use Contextcompat and ActivityCompat in Fragment but it shows

error "Error:(49, 50) error: incompatible types: CallFragment cannot be converted to Context" and "Error:(51, 51) error: incompatible types: CallFragment cannot be converted to Activity". 

if(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE)!=PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { 
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE}, REQUEST_CALL); 
}

How can I solve this?

Though it's late, but I hope someone finds this helpful.

if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getContext(), Manifest.permission.READ_SMS) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_SMS, Manifest.permission.RECEIVE_SMS}, 101);
    }

private Context context;

public Yourclassname(Context context) {
   this.context = context;
}

use context instead of "this" and use this below code 

if(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,android.Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE)!=PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { 
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(context, new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE}, REQUEST_CALL); 
}

"this" refers Fragment in your case.

We this clearly means that you need Context and Activity reference. Since you are using the code inside a Fragment class this <-- refers to the Fragment and not to Activity or Context.

How to get Context reference?
get it in the onAttachMethod(Context context) method available in Fragment class.

class YourFragment extends Fragment{
  
   private Context context;

   @Override
   public void onAttach(Context context)
   {
     this.context = context;
   }
}

How to get Activity reference in Fragment?

getActivity();

or

(Activity)context;

if(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getContext(), Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE)!=PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(getActivity(), new String[]{Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE}, REQUEST_CALL); }

use getContext() instead of this in the fragment
