I have a weird crash in Lollipopand below. I get a security Exception when trying to download a file from the server, but in devices running Marshmallow and above the app does not crash. Logcat:
Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: need WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission to use DESTINATION_FILE_URI: uid 10229 does not have android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.
In App's grandle I use
targetSdkVersion 22
Will change after our first push on Google Console to target the latest sdk version, but for now this will remain to 22, so no need for run time permissions.
Furthermore, in App's Manifest we declare app's permission.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DOWNLOAD_WITHOUT_NOTIFICATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
Also, the code that uses the DownloadManagerinside an AsynckTask :
try {
String dirPath = String.format("%5$s/%1$s/Resources/%2$s/%3$s/%4$s/", userID, resource.getiD(), filePackage.getiD(), language, dir.getCanonicalPath());
File makeDirs = new File(dirPath);
makeDirs.mkdirs();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
this.downloadManager = (DownloadManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(url);
request.setDestinationInExternalFilesDir(getApplicationContext(), null, filePath);
request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_HIDDEN);
request.setVisibleInDownloadsUi(false);
downloadID = downloadManager.enqueue(request);
Again, this crash is observed only in Galaxy A5 with OS version 5.0.2, in an emulator running Samsung Galaxy S6 with Lollipop and in emulator running Kitkat 4.4.4 HTC One.

If you have any thoughts, please share them, thanks in advance.
Eventually this post WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE not working on lollipop even though it's set in the manifest helped me. What I did was to alter permissions in AndroidManifest.xml file like this:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="26" tools:replace="android:maxSdkVersion"/>
This way the app doesn't crashes!

With the new privacy changes in effect with Android Q, it is now mandatory for any app using MediaProjection api to specify android:foregroundServiceType attribute in the service tag under manifest.
But recently, I noticed that though I set the android:foregroundServiceType="mediaprojection" there is a security exception thrown. Does anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Manifest:
<service
android:name=".services.MediaProjectionService"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="false"
android:foregroundServiceType="mediaProjection" />
Exception thrown:

P.S: This is experienced on Android Q DP5 GSI with target SDK 29. The app works fine with target sdk 28 without any changes.
Don't you forget to add permission <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" /> into AndroidManifest.xml ?
UPDATE
Make sure you call startForeground() before getMediaProjection()!
The best solution is to call startForeground() from onCreate() without any conditions, displaying some sort of default messages in notification. Then you can execute your logic and call NotificationManager.notify() with updated notification at any time.
Changing the following attributes
android:foregroundServiceType="mediaProjection"
tools:targetApi="q"
in AndroidManifest.xml worked for me.
< service
android:name="SERVICE_NAME"
android:foregroundServiceType="mediaProjection"
tools:targetApi="q"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="false" />
I want to display the current bucket of my application with a device under Android P beta. Therefore, I try to use the UsageStatsManager class like this :
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 28) {
UsageStatsManager usageStatsManager = (UsageStatsManager) getSystemService(USAGE_STATS_SERVICE);
if (usageStatsManager != null) {
Log.d(TAG, "getAppStandbyBucket():" + usageStatsManager.getAppStandbyBucket());
}
}
}
My Manifest possesses the permission android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS :
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS"
tools:ignore="ProtectedPermissions" />
But I encounter a crash when I launch my application :

It seems that I missed a permission, but even when I add the following permission :
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS"
tools:ignore="ProtectedPermissions" />
I still have the same crash. I was thinking that maybe I miss the runtime call for the permission, but like the documentation stipulate :
NOTE: Most methods on this API require the permission
android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS. However, declaring the
permission implies intention to use the API and the user of the device
still needs to grant permission through the Settings application. See
Settings.ACTION_USAGE_ACCESS_SETTINGS. Methods which only return the
information for the calling package do not require this permission.
E.g. getAppStandbyBucket() and queryEventsForSelf(long, long).
It's not necessary. Even knowing that I tried to use the runtime permission, but I still get the crash. If anyone see what is missing, I would really appreciate the help.
I think it's a bug. There is an open issue covering this in the issue tracker: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/111102580.
I developed Fake GPS application and all my codes work nicely on debug mode.
When i try "mock location" on **release version**, i got this error;
java.lang.SecurityException: Requires `ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION` permission
I already had ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION in debug/AndroidManifest file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION" />
And already "Allow Mock Location" checked in "Delevoper Options".
Finally; i cant add "ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION" on main/AndroidManifest.xml. Android Studio dont approve this permission.
I tried on Samsung Note 3, V: 4.4.2

In that case you are just adding for debug, but it's needed on release too.
You could add to Manifest(not debug) file with ignore value
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION"
tools:ignore="MockLocation" />
I try to read and change an textfile on the external storage SD card. To make the example more easy I already inserted the content URI I get from the File Chooser.
I run the app on an Nexus 5X with Android 7 (SDK 24). The minSdkVersion is set to 19 and the targetSdkVersion is 23.
package de.cowabuja.androiduriaccess;

Uri uri = Uri.parse(uriString);
getApplicationContext().grantUriPermission(getPackageName(), uri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);

You cannot assemble a Uri to a third-party provider like that and expect it to work. That provider has not granted you permission to work with that content. At most, it previously gave you temporary access to the content, but those rights died when your process died.
Either:
Move the file to one of the locations where you have filesystem access on removable storage: getExternalFilesDirs(), getExternalCacheDirs(), and getExternalMediaDirs(). If those methods (on Context) return 2+ entries, the second and subsequent ones are directories on removable storage that you can use. You can then use normal Java file I/O (e.g., File, FileInputStream).
Use the Storage Access Framework to ask the user to choose a file to work with. The user may elect to choose one on removable storage, or not, as it is the user's device and the user's files. You would then use the Uri with ContentResolver, via methods like openInputStream().

I read this question,
Android reading external storage gives securityException
But I have placed the permissions correctly in my manifest below,
Manifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.media.wanware.fragmentdemo">

</application>
</manifest>
Also upon reading further I also went through this below question,
Android permission doesn't work even if I have declared it
The big reason for not getting your permission nowadays is because
your project has a targetSdkVersion of 23 or higher
For these permissions, not only does your targetSdkVersion 23+ app
need to have the element(s), but you also have to
ask for those permissions at runtime from the user on Android 6.0+
devices, using methods like checkSelfPermission() and
requestPermissions().
As a temporary workaround, drop your targetSdkVersion below 23.
But my target SDK is below 23 only. Why I am getting the same error ?
SDK 23 has all new method and functionalities to deal with the Android Permissions to try to compile your code with lower SDK verions. This may solve your problem.
And also remove maxSdkVersion from your permissions.
Happy Coding :)
Better than compiling with lower version, you have to make an appropriate code for all versions or eventually you will be left behind in the current ways of programming, especially in android.
Check this article of how to request permissions at run time here.
Here's and example of how I properly request these permission:
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, android.Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
