I am trying to create an app which enters a log message when I make an outgoing call.
However, when I run the code, I get a permission denial, despite the fact that I have entered in the permissions.
Denial Log:
"09-04 02:35:50.535 1294-1666/? W/BroadcastQueue﹕ Permission Denial: receiving Intent { act=android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL flg=0x10000010 (has extras) } to samples.varma.packagecom.testreceive2/.CallReceiver requires android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS due to sender android (uid 1000)"
Manifest Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="samples.varma.packagecom.testreceive2" >
android:versionCode="1"

android:targetSdkVersion="23" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity

android:enabled="true"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver
android:name=".CallReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
And here is the code for my receiver:
package samples.varma.packagecom.testreceive2;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.util.Log;
public class CallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public CallReceiver() {
}
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String state = intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE);
if (state == null) {
String number = intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER);
Log.i("TAG", "Outgoing Number: " + number);
} else if (state.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING)) {
String number = intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER);
Log.i("TAG", "Incoming Number: " + number);
}
}
}
I am very new to this so there is a good chance that there are several errors or I am completely off base. Regardless I would greatly appreciate any guidance. Would anyone know why I am getting this denial?
Thanks
Edit:
It is also giving me these permission denials even though I have added the phone state permission.
The privileged phone-state permission is a system permission so I cannot add.
