Download Manager Android Permissions error: write external Storage : <p>I programmed an Android App that downloads a sample PDF file to the Download directory using DownloadManager. Here's the code:</p>

<pre><code>@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_vertretungsplan);
    Button dlbutton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttondownload);
    final Context c = this;
    dlbutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse(myurl));
            request.setTitle("Vertretungsplan");
            request.setDescription("wird heruntergeladen");
            request.allowScanningByMediaScanner();
            request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
            String filename = URLUtil.guessFileName(myurl, null, MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(myurl));
            request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS, filename);
            DownloadManager manager = (DownloadManager) c.getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
            manager.enqueue(request);
        }
    });
}
</code></pre>

<p>Now, I tried to debug-run it from Android Studio on my Xperia Z3 Android 6.0. 
As I clicked on the download button, this error occurs:</p>

<p>Disconnected from the target VM, address: 'localhost:8600', transport: 'socket'</p>

<p>(on the third line) it displays me that it has no write permission on external storage.</p>

<p>But my AndroidManifest is set up correctly:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
&lt;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.markwitt.schul_app"&gt;
&lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /&gt;
&lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /&gt;
&lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /&gt;
&lt;application
    android:launchMode="singleTop"
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme"&gt;

    &lt;activity android:name=".Stundenplan"&gt;


        &lt;intent-filter&gt;
            &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /&gt;

            &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt;
        &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
    &lt;/activity&gt;
    &lt;activity android:name=".Vertretungsplan"&gt;&lt;/activity&gt;
&lt;/application&gt;
</code></pre>

<p></p>

<p>What do I need to do?</p>
