I am working with google account and i want to remove all the logged in account from device with the help of my application and i did it with this line of code

 private void signOutGmail() {
        AccountManager am = AccountManager.get(this);
        Account[] accounts = am.getAccounts();
        if (accounts.length > 0) {
            Account accountToRemove = accounts[0];
            am.removeAccount(accountToRemove, null, null);
        }
    }

But when i run my application in marshmallow i got an error of Security Exception and my application get crashed is there any solution to remove gmail accounts from device programmatically in marshmallow and up.

This is my exception:

You need these permissions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCOUNT_MANAGER"/>

EDIT: For marshmallow, request permission at runtime.
