How to give permission for changing screen brightness in Marshmallow

Question

I am using following code to increase brightness. It is properly working in devices which are below Marshmallow. It is crashing in Marshmallow, and I did not find anything to give dynamic permission for Write-settings. Anybody has idea please help me.

Settings.System.putInt(getContentResolver(), Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE, Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE_MANUAL); 
    Settings.System.putInt(getContentResolver(), Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS, 255);

int br = Settings.System.getInt(getContentResolver(), Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS);
    WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = getWindow().getAttributes();
    lp.screenBrightness = (float) br / 255;
    getWindow().setAttributes(lp);

Error Log:

java.lang.SecurityException: com.package was not granted  this permission: android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS.

From API 23 you should ask dynamically from the user if they have the WRITE_SETTINGS permission by using Settings.System.canWrite(context) . If you want the user approve the setting, you should start an intent with action ACTION_MANAGE_WRITE_SETTINGS . The code you probably need is something like follows:

if (Settings.System.canWrite(context))
{
    // perform your actions
}
else
{
    Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_WRITE_SETTINGS)
    .setData(Uri.parse("package:" + getActivity().getPackageName()))
    .addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    startActivity(intent);
}
