SecurityException: Permission denied (missing INTE

Question

this error is really really really strange and I don't know how to reproduce it and how to fix it because I made a lot of searches but nothing was useful.

Here's the stacktrace:

Here's my AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="my_app_package"
    android:installLocation="auto"
    android:versionCode="my_version_code"
    android:versionName="my_version_name" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="16" />

    <supports-screens
        android:anyDensity="true"
        android:largeScreens="true"
        android:normalScreens="true"
        android:resizeable="true"
        android:smallScreens="true"
        android:xlargeScreens="true" />

    <uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00010001" />

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

    <application
        android:allowTaskReparenting="true"
        android:debuggable="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/mxm_icon"
        android:label="@string/musicbrowserlabel"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.Music" >

        <!-- MY ACTIVITIES -->



    </application>

</manifest>

Please don't bother asking me if I have the correct INTERNET permission in my manifest because this app is in market since 2 years :P

I've also noticed that (from Crittercism) all bugs are coming from Android 4.1.x version (JB). I don't know if device are rooted or what (I can't see this information for the moment)

Answer 1

I also had this problem. it was weird that it worked on my lollipop emulator, but not on my actual kitkat device.

Android Studio will now force you to write the permission upper case, and that's the problem.

Add

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

Above the application tab and it will work.

Answer 2

Write your permission before the application tag as given below.

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

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

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

Answer 3

Put these permission outside the <application> tag preferable before the tag, I tried it and it works for me.

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

Answer 4

Android Studio 1.3b1 (not sure about other versions) autocompleted my internet permission to ANDROID.PERMISSION.INTERNET. Changing it to android.permission.INTERNET fixed the issue.

Answer 5

Add to manifest file the line:

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

It fixed it for me.

Answer 6

Just like Tom mentioned. When you start with capital A then autocomplete will complete it as.

ANDROID.PERMISSION.INTERNET

When you start typing with a then autocomplete will complete it as

android.permission.INTERNET

The second one is the correct one.
