Android permissions checkSelfPermission doesn't work

In the AndroidManifest.xml of my app I specified a target API to 26:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.javasrv"
android:minSdkVersion="23"
android:targetSdkVersion="26"
android:versionCode="6"
android:versionName="1.0.0">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
But when I am running the app on Android x86 8.1 and disabling the permission for storage access through system menu it says that "This app was designed for an older version of Android. Denying permission may cause it to no longer function as intended."
How can it be?
Also I am having a problem with runtime permissions check: it always deems that the access is granted even though I disabled it in the system settings:
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(LoaderActivity.this, permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Toast.makeText(LoaderActivity.this, "PERMISSION_DENIED", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.d("*** Loader::onCreate ***", "PERMISSION_DENIED");
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this, permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
} else {
}
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 0);
} else {
Toast.makeText(LoaderActivity.this, "PERMISSION_GRANTED", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.d("*** Loader::onCreate ***", "PERMISSION_GRANTED");
}
Again, it is unclear how can it be. Any ideas?
Edit: I am using android api v26 and android support library v23.
The compilation script:
file=javasrv.apk
# export CLASSPATH=/opt/android-sdk/platforms/android-26/android.jar:/opt/android-sdk/extras/android/support-library/23.2.1/android-support-v4.jar
#
rm -f com/javasrv/*.class
javac -cp $CLASSPATH -source 1.8 -target 1.8 com/javasrv/*.java
#dx --dex --output classes.dex com/javasrv/*.class
dx --dex --output classes.dex com/javasrv/*.class android/support/v4/app/*.class android/support/v4/content/*.class
#aapt package -f -m -F "$file" -M AndroidManifest.xml -S res -I "$CLASSPATH"
#aapt add "$file" classes.dex
rm -rf build && mkdir build
find ./res -type f | grep -vE '\.sw.$' | xargs -I{} aapt2 compile -o build "{}" --no-crunch
aapt2 link -R build/* --manifest AndroidManifest.xml $(echo "$CLASSPATH" | tr -d '\n' | xargs -d':' -L1 -I{} echo " -I {} ") -o "$file" --auto-add-overlay
zip -uj "$file" classes.dex
zipalign -f 4 "$file" "$file.aligned"
mv -f "$file.aligned" "$file"
apksigner sign --ks-pass pass:pwd --ks javasrv.keystore "$file"
Edit2: Here is another may be related to this one problem concerning aapt2. If I specify compileSdkVersion in AndroidManifest.xml it throws an error:
AndroidManifest.xml:2: error: attribute android:compileSdkVersion not found.
error: failed processing manifest.
I simply ignored it by removing compileSdkVersion from the manifest. I wonder now if I should not...
Edit3: As related to logcat of that permission check. I only have access to /data/log.txt. But it should be enough. No?

Edit4:
This is how the activity from which I am requesting permissions gets started:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, LoaderActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
// If set in an Intent passed to Context.startActivity(), this flag will cause any existing task that would be associated with the activity to be cleared before the activity is started. That is, the activity becomes the new root of an otherwise empty task, and any old activities are finished. This can only be used in conjunction with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK.
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
Edit 5:
Holy cow! I just decompiled the resulted apk and noticed that somehow my android:versionCode and android:versionName became platformbuildversioncode and platformbuildversionname respectively. This is nuts! I wonder how the hell it happened.
Added: Uh oh. It is somehow related to the version of aapt2. I used from build-tools 28.0.3. In changed it to 26.0.2 and it behaved without that insanity.
Edit 6:
Due to the bugs with aapt2, I reverted back to aapt. At least it doesn't messing up the manifest too much:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:minSdkVersion="23" android:targetSdkVersion="26" package="com.javasrv" platformBuildVersionCode="26" platformBuildVersionName="8.0.0">
For some reason it excised my app custom version number and version code though. But at least that should not affect the work of an app.
What I am still struggling with though is that I cannot specify compileSdkVersion due to the same error that compileSdkVersion was not found in the package android.
Edit 7: Alright. Here is the head of the manifest that I decompiled from the final apk(which I built with aapt2 v26):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?><manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:minSdkVersion="23" android:targetSdkVersion="26" package="com.javasrv">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
So the only thing is missing is compileSdkVersion. I still can't figure out how to make aapt2 put that value into the manifest. But I tested that apk and the bug with runtime permissions still persist. Very strange.
Edit 8:
Installed the latest aapt2 version. From here: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/tools/build/aapt2/3.6.0-alpha11-5720371/aapt2-3.6.0-alpha11-5720371-linux.jar
Still the same thing - it would not insert compileSdkVersion.
Edit 9:
Actually it is pretty clear that compiledSdkVersion isn't present in the namespace I am using. I also cannot find it anywhere in the docs: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element
It appears to me that I should not use it at all - and actually I don't see any purpose in it. Who the hell cares with what version I compiled my app, if I can just specify the minimum and target versions? So the bug should be somewhere else.
Edit 10:
Updated up to 24.1.1 version of Android Support Library. Stilll no luck with the check of runtime permissions.
Edit 11:
Tried to call requestPermissions even though it falsily detects it as GRANTED and got a runtime error: that classs android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompatApi23 was not found. Interesting...
Hm. Apparently I should've used Android Support Library the same version as my SDK. But it is unclear for me how to get a jar of the latest version of a support library (see Install latest android support library CLI )
So yeah. Probably it was a bad idea just to extract the jar file from 24.1.1's aar - apparently it wasn't the whole library but just a patch. So I decided to use jar 23.2.1 which some guy compiled: https://github.com/pbakondy/cordova-plugin-android-support-v4-jar
Edit 12:
With v23.2.1 android support library back in place I decided to call requestPermissions right after I called Log.d with PERMISSION_GRANTED message. Here is the output:

No dialog appeared. It looks like the system makes the app think that the permission was granted.
I wonder why ... there must be something wrong with the manifest, but what?
I will output the whole manifest via apkanalyzer:

Any ideas?
THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED

May be this can help you.
Just make your in your app gradle you have compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion as 26.

If checkpermission is not working you can try the dialog permission
When your app receives PERMISSION_DENIED from checkSelfPermission(), you need to prompt the user for that permission. Android provides several methods you can use to request a permission, such as requestPermissions().
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
1);
Then override the method
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions, #NonNull int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
switch (requestCode) {
case 1: {
// If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
if (grantResults.length > 0
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// permission was granted
} else {
// permission denied
Toast.makeText(BiggerScreen.this, "Permission denied to write your External storage", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
return;
}
// other 'case' lines to check for other
// permissions this app might request
}
}

Wow. All that time the problem was with AndroidManifest.xml. I specified minSdkVersion in the wrong place. I should've done that in uses-sdk xml tag, not in manifest tag, just like on the Android Developer website is written: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element
I don't know where I picked up an idea that these attributes should be written in manifest tag. Perhaps this is what gradle is doing - it transfers the attributes when compiling the apk..
Edit: In addition, one have to restart the app after permission has been granted. Otherwise, checkSelfPermission will inform that acccess has been granted, but the app will not have any access to the files: Writing external storage doesn't work until I restart the application on Android M

I've succeeded in running my fingerprint HAL on Android 8.1 executing on HiKey
96 board after modified files as below.
Firstly, it's necessary that adding HIDL configures to declare a device as a vendor or you would get VTS failed.
About HIDL configures
device/linaro/hikey/manifest.xml
+<hal format="hidl">
<name>android.hardware.biometrics.fingerprint</name>
<transport>hwbinder</transport>
<version>2.1</version>
<interface>
<name>IBiometricsFingerprint</name>
<instance>default</instance>
</interface>
</hal>
Secondly, finger service will be started after you define it in the file below.
device/linaro/hikey/device-common.mk
+#init finger service and copy
android.hardware.biometrics.fingerprint#2.1-service.rc to
system/vendor/etc/init
+PRODUCT_PACKAGES += \
+android.hardware.biometrics.fingerprint#2.1-service
+# copy permission file of finger service
+PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
+frameworks/native/data/etc/android.hardware.fingerprint.xml:system/etc
/permissions/android.hardware.fingerprint.xml
Finally, check finger service has been started and running in Android system by using terminal commands such as "adb shell" and "ps | grep finger".
Any suggestion is welcome.

I found out that I need to add the code to the manifest.xml
(Ref. https://source.android.com/devices/architecture/vintf/objects )

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INSTALL_LOCATION_PROVIDER"/>
remove this permission from Manifest file. you can only use normal and Dangerous permission.
A third-party developer cannot grant to his/her application the permission required to install a new location provider (android.permission.INSTALL_LOCATION_PROVIDER). Only OEMs are allowed to install a new location provider.
EDIT
<permission android:name="android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL" android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
EDIT
check package name I see com.companyName.gameName in AndroidManifest.xml, you are running your app using package com.companyName.GameName and AppActivity is in org.cocos2dx.cpp

This issue was caused by extern Userdefaults in Constants. To fix it I changed (Constants.cpp):
cocos2d::UserDefault *userDefaults = cocos2d::UserDefault::getInstance();
Constants.hpp:
extern cocos2d::UserDefault *userDefaults;
To:
Constants.cpp
cocos2d::UserDefault *userDefaults;
And (AppDelegate.cpp)
userDefaults = cocos2d::UserDefault::getInstance();
Have not done any changes to Constants.hpp.
Permissions is not required and also were was no problem with package name.
Logcat messages was not helpfull...

Embedded Crosswalk increase allocated memory on Android

I have a several web application that I want to be able to run through a webview in a native android application. I am currently embedding a crosswalk browser and loading the applications in that. It works great for some of the web applications but as the size of the web application increases I get errors that crash my android application.
Things I have tried:
android:largeHeap="true" - helped I was able to run larger web applications.
android:hardwareAccelerated="true" - helped I got better performance.
xwalk-command-line='--ignore-gpu-blacklist' in assets/xwalk-commandline - also helps
There are still some web applications (created through unity) that required me to allocate about 1Gb when I was creating them for desktop testing. I am will be using this android app on the newest phones and would be ok with such a high memory usage.
It works if I try to open this application on a desktop browser so that is what leads me to believe that it is a memory allocation issue. I am using crosswalk 17 which has webGL enabled and the smaller applications run webgl just fine.
I have a few questions:
Is there a way to force the crosswalk embedded browser to allocate 1GB of memory for itself. (I know this is going to crush my device and is probably not great but please indulge me)
Can I expand my application's memory usage beyond largeHeap. If so how? And do I need to do so to enable such large web applications?
Are there any issues that I am missing that are possibly masking the real issues here.
I know this type of application would only ever run on the newest kinds of phones. what are the repercussions for an application that has such a high memory usage?
Are there any other avenues I should explore to enable me to run large web applications within an android app?
Here are the answers to the FAQs of stack overflow users :)

Thank you in advance!

I had a problem like that. I thought this problem came with ads like adsense or some went wrong with JavaScript

I hope that helps you

Issues with ActionBarSherlock - Install fails on Android 2.3.7

I have a problem using ActionBarSherlock in one of my projects. My App installs fine when pushing it to my Nexus 4, but when I try to install it to my HTC Desire (CM7 with Android 2.3.7 - API Level 10) I get the following error.
[2013-02-03 18:47:44 - MyApp] Project dependency found, installing: Actionbar
[2013-02-03 18:47:44 - Actionbar] Uploading Actionbar.apk onto device 'HT042PL03910'

[2013-02-03 18:47:47 - Actionbar] Please check logcat output for more details.
[2013-02-03 18:47:47 - MyApp] Launch canceled!
I am using Sherlock 4.2.0 as a libraryproject and added the R11 of android-support-v4. Sherlock itself is configured like this:
Manifest:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="16"/>
Project-Properties:
android.library=true
# Project target.
target=android-14
My application uses the following settings:
Manifest:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="16" />
Project-Properties:
target=Google Inc.:Google APIs:16
android.library.reference.1=../ActionbarSherlock
I went through the whole logcat output but couldn't find anything helpful. Has anybody else experienced this and can help me?

So instead of searching for where I went wrong, I checked out a working revision without sherlock. I then added sherlock as a library and made the same changes to my activites I did yesterday. But now, install works fine.
