Answer 1

My issue was with "TargetApi(23)" which is needed if your minSdkVersion is bellow 23.

So, I have request permission with the following snippet

protected boolean shouldAskPermissions() {
    return (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1);
}

@TargetApi(23)
protected void askPermissions() {
    String[] permissions = {
            "android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE",
            "android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
    };
    int requestCode = 200;
    requestPermissions(permissions, requestCode);
}

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// ...
    if (shouldAskPermissions()) {
        askPermissions();
    }
}
