How to add manifest permission to an application?

Viewed 917754

I am trying to access HTTP link using HttpURLConnection in Android to download a file, but I am getting this warning in LogCat:

WARN/System.err(223): java.net.SocketException: Permission denied (maybe missing INTERNET permission)

I have added android.Manifest.permission to my application but it's still giving the same exception.

Assuming you do not have permissions set from your LogCat error description, here is my contents for my AndroidManifest.xml file that has access to the internet:

<manifest xlmns:android...>
 ...
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
 <application ...
</manifest>

Other than that, you should be fine to download a file from the internet.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.photoeffect"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="18" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.example.towntour.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar" >
    <activity
        android:name="com.photoeffect.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

</manifest>

Copy the following line to your application manifest file and paste before the <application> tag.

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

Placing the permission below the <application/> tag will work, but will give you warning. So take care to place it before the <application/> tag declaration.

Add the below line in your application tag:

 android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"

To be look like below code :

<application
    ....
    android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
    ....>

And add the following tags above of application

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

to be like that :

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.themarona.app">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">

            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

    </application>
</manifest>

I am late but i want to complete the answer.

An permission is added in manifest.xml like

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

This is enough for standard permissions where no permission is prompted to the user. However, it is not enough to add permission only to manifest if it is a dangerous permission. See android doc. Like Camera, Storage permissions.

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

You will need to ask permission from user. I use RxPermission library that is widely used library for asking permission. Because it is long code which we have to write to ask permission.

RxPermissions rxPermissions = new RxPermissions(this); // where this is an Activity instance // Must be done during an initialization phase like onCreate
rxPermissions
    .request(Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
    .subscribe(granted -> {
        if (granted) { // Always true pre-M
           // I can control the camera now
        } else {
           // Oups permission denied
        }
    });

Add this library to your app

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.tbruyelle:rxpermissions:0.10.1'
    implementation 'com.jakewharton.rxbinding2:rxbinding:2.1.1'
}

FOR FLUTTER DEVELOPERS.

Go to

android/app/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Outside the

application tag

but inside the

manifest tag

Add

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

You have to use both Network and Access Network State in manifest file while you are trying load or access to the internet through android emulator.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

If you are giving only .INTERNET permission, it won't access to the internet.

If you're using Android Studio, hover over the code that requires the permission and click "Add Permission .."

Then you can check the changes in AndroidManifest.xml with git.

** For Activity Recognition like Foot Step Counter

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

** For Internet

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

** For Call Phone

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