Android Studio asking for bluetooth permission check even though it's already present

Question

See lines 94-95 in mainactivity file.

**bluetoothSocket = bluetoothDevice.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(MY_UUID);
           bluetoothSocket.connect();**
           inputStream = bluetoothSocket.getInputStream();

Am receiving this error:

"Call requires permission which may be rejected by user: code should explicitly check to see if permission is available (with checkPermission) or explicitly handle a potential SecurityException."

I tried adding the onRequestPermissionsResult method and preceding if-statement, but I am still receiving the error. What more is needed?

Am using HC-05 module to transmit serial data from arduino to android device. Thanks.

Manifest attached as well

I tried adding the onRequestPermissionsResult method and preceding if-statement, but I am still receiving the error. What more is needed? Expected this to suffice and the error to disappear.
