Android Question Confused about Runtime Permissions

[GuyBooth]

My first attempts at implementing Runtime Permissions are not producing the results I anticipated.
The GPS example works exactly the way I expect, but with my own simple project I find the request for granting access always comes during the application installation - not during Runtime. The message on the screen during the installation is:
"Do you want to install this application? It will get access to:
Read phone status and identity"

By the time the user starts the application, the rights have already been granted.

Am I doing something wrong, or just not understanding how this is supposed to work?
Is there a way to request the permission by clicking a button, as I am trying to do in this example?

I've attached the app.
I compiled it with sdk 27 and on my device it runs on Android 7.0.

Hello,
In your Manifest, your targetSdkVersion is too low, reason why the system uses the old permissions system
Just put 23 and it will do what you want on your phone

Your assumption that I didn't read the tutorial is completely incorrect. There is a difference between knowing what has to be done and correctly implementing it.
That is why the post by lemonisdead is so useful.
