This is a common mistake that people make when coding for marshmallow.

When in AppCompatActivity, you should use ActivityCompat.requestPermissions; When in android.support.v4.app.Fragment, you should use simply requestPermissions (this is an instance method of android.support.v4.app.Fragment) If you call ActivityCompat.requestPermissions in a fragment, the onRequestPermissionsResult callback is called on the activity and not the fragment.

requestPermissions(permissions, PERMISSIONS_CODE);

If you are calling this code from a fragment it has it’s own requestPermissions method.

So basic concept is, If you are in an Activity, then call

ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                            new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA},
                            MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CAMERA);

and if in a Fragment, just call

requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA},
                            MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CAMERA);

For the reference, I have obtained the answer from this link https://www.coderzheaven.com/2016/10/12/onrequestpermissionsresult-not-called-on-fragments/

private void showContacts() {
 if (getActivity().checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
         != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
     requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
             PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_STORAGE);
 } else {
     doShowContacts();
 }
}

 @Override
 public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
     int[] grantResults) {
 if (requestCode == PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_STORAGE
         && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
     doShowContacts();
 }
 }

change permission

I had the same issue. Your fragment can be initialized from the activity layout. Like that:

main_activty.xml

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/fragment"
    android:name="com.exampe.SomeFragment"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

This issue was solved for me when I used FragmentTransaction instead
