Call requires API level 23 (current min is 22) While making a call request from App

Question

I am doing an app for making a call directly from an image button inside my app. I want the app to be worked with both API 22 and 22. But while making the minSDK as 22, I am getting an error.

How to make it work??

                    callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + 4636));
                    callIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                    startActivity(callIntent);
                }
        break;
        }
    }

    }

The error is under checkSelfPermission

I had give the permission in Manifest...

You have to asked the runtime permission while compiling agaisnt 6.0

public static final int REQUEST_READ_PERMISSION =111;
// before on create as global variable 

public void onClick(View v) {
        switch (v.getId()) {
            case R.id.imageButton:
               f (CheckPermission(this, Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE)) {
                   Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
                   callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + 4636));
                   callIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                   startActivity(callIntent);
                } else {
                RequestPermission(YourActivityName.this, Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE, REQUEST_READ_PERMISSION );
               }
          break;
        }

 public boolean CheckPermission(Context context, String Permission) {
            if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,
                    Permission) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                return true;

            switch (permsRequestCode) {

                case REQUEST_READ_PERMISSION: {
                    if (grantResults.length > 0
                            && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
