Following is the AndroidManifest.xml for a Simple Bluetooth pairing Android Project
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.bluetoothglassend"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"
android:maxSdkVersion="19" />
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"
android:maxSdkVersion="19" />
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_PRIVILEGED"
android:maxSdkVersion="19" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_main" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Although not required, I've added permissions for all BLUETOOTH parameters I can find. Yet, I get this error :
java.lang.SecurityException: Need BLUETOOTH permission: Neither user 10145 nor current process has android.permission.BLUETOOTH.
Any Ideas?
As an additional note, I imported this project in Android Studio from Intellij
The maxSdkVersion attribute version is for telling the highest API level at which this permission should be granted to your app. Setting this attribute is useful if the permission your app requires is no longer needed beginning at a certain API level.
For example, beginning with Android 4.4 (API level 19), it's no longer necessary for your app to request the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission when your app wants to write to its own application-specific directories on external storage (the directories provided by getExternalFilesDir()). However, the permission is required for API level 18 and lower. So you can declare that this permission is needed only up to API level 18 with a declaration such as this:
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
android:maxSdkVersion="18" />
This way, beginning with API level 19, the system will no longer grant your app the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
So the error was that even lollipop needs you to ask permission for accessing bluetooth.
Looks like it was a pretty straightforward solution. I was testing on Android Lollipop ( > maxSdkVersion ) hence the error.

I know it may be silly question and I have referred all the similar question before but unfortunately I could resolve this issue. Most probably it is problem in my Manifest.xml file.
When I am trying to access location, app is crashing
here is my manifest.xml

when I run it throw this error

Similar with other permissions. I can not see any mistake in my manifest file. Help appreciated
If you are running on a device on Android Marshmallow and above:
If the device is running Android 6.0 or higher and if the app's target SDK is 23 or higher, the app not just have to list the permissions in the manifest but also must request each dangerous permission it needs while the app is running.
More info:
http://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html
and
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/permissions.html#normal-dangerous
This means you have some wrong information or malformed info in your menifest file and that is the reason none of your Permission is not identified by your app. Just make sure you have cleaned ANDROIDMANIFEST file with any malformed data.
It will work and all permission should be outside Application tag
move the uses-permission outside application just below the manifest tag
Moving permission section solved my problem with "Neither user or current process has android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE". Thank you so much to everyone in this forum.
In reference to others, my changes are bellow:
Original:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.NFC" />

<uses-feature

This exception is related to the runtime permission system in Android 6 and above. The Location permission comes under dangerous permission [check here], so you must have to fulfill below 2 minimum requirements to handle these permissions:
Declared below 2 permission in manifest (These permissions must be outside application tag)
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION " />
Check for the granted permission at runtime using checkSelfPermission() and request permissions using requestPermissions() if not already granted.
If you have already done both of the above then and still getting error then check below:
You App's targetSdkVersion (should be >=23) [If the application's targetSdkVersion is set to less than 23. It will be assumed that application is not tested with new permission system yet and will switch to the same old behavior: user has to accept every single permission at install time and they will be all granted once installed].
Check if you have any thing wrong with you manifest file. You might have malformed manifest file.
Check if you are calling any function, that works on location data, before the user Accept/revoked runtime location permission dialog?
Clean you app (Clean build) and re-run.
Hope this may help :-)
I started developping an app and I need to use the camera of my phone, and when I use the method Camera.open(), either with cameraId or not, it returns the error "An error occurred while connecting to camera: 0". My AndroidManifest.xml is:

Thanks in advance.
Devices that are running Marshmallow requires permission to be set on runtime, here's my answer from another similar question here :)
From https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html
Note: Beginning with Android 6.0 (API level 23), users can revoke permissions from any app at any time, even if the app targets a lower API level. You should test your app to verify that it behaves properly when it's missing a needed permission, regardless of what API level your app targets.
Aside from the permissions set in the manifest, you'll need to request/check for permission on runtime. There are sample codes in there you can use, or...
Quick solution,
go to Settings-> Apps->(Your app name)->Permissions and enable the camera permission.
Done, although not recommended for final product
then try your app again. Should be working now :D
try also adding the camera ID, like
Camera.open(Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_BACK);

I'm trying to use ACRA in my project but whenever my app launches, I see the following message in the log.
E/ACRA (11618): com.example.TestApp should be granted permission android.permission.INTERNET if you want your crash reports to be sent. If you don't want to add this permission to your application you can also enable sending reports by email. If this is your will then provide your email address in #ReportsCrashes(mailTo="your.account#domain.com"
Below is my AndroidManifest.xml, which has Internet permissions, so not sure what's going on here. Any help appreciated!

I had this problem when I ran on JellyBean, since the READ_LOGS permission was removed in JB.
See this question for how to work around this problem in API 16 and above:
READ_LOGS permission on Jelly Bean (api 16)
I'm working on a simple app that browses through the user's contacts. Unfortunately I keep getting the following error:
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: reading com.android.providers.contacts.HtcContactsProvider2 uri content://com.android.contacts/contacts from pid=27455, uid=10171 requires android.permission.READ_CONTACTS
My manifest file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I'm trying to look at my contacts by:
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,null, null, null, null);
I've tried to add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" /> or android:permission="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" to <application> or <activity>, but both didn't work.
I'm running out of options, does anybody know what I'm missing here?
the <uses-permission> should be contained in the <manifest> element. See Structure of the Manifest File. So trying putting it into <application> or <activity>, won't work. Desperation move: try to move <uses-sdk> before <application>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
Also if you can test without the other permissions, remove them.
EDIT: Can you please check if this is your TOP line in your manifest file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
I was totally stuck on this until I read this article about how permissions are handled starting with SDK 23. The critical hint:
If the application's targetSdkVersion is set to less than 23. It will be assumed that application is not tested with new permission system yet and will switch to the same old behavior: user has to accept every single permission at install time and they will be all granted once installed !
I opened up my gradle.build file and changed targetSdkVersion 23 to targetSdkVersion 22, and now everything works great! I'll eventually find time to build in the new permissions system and switch back to targetSdkVersion 23, which is probably the more correct answer. This is a temporary shortcut.
None of the above helped. The solution is quite simple.
you'll need a runtime permission request.
with or without placing the permission in your manifest, You will need to request that permission from the User on-the-fly.
if( getApplicationContext().checkSelfPermission( Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED )
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(activity, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS}, resultValue);
only then after the approval you will be able to query the contacts phone number/name etc.
Try this in your on create method
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS},1);
I had the same problem and none of the solutions I read helped to resolve it until I added the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission along with the READ_CONTACTS permission.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
I ran into this issue today and none of the above fixes worked for me.
What the issue ended up being had to do with my Eclipse. What I had written in the manifest.xml and what was in the Permissions tab weren't the same. I had the READ_CONTACTS permission in my manifest.xml, but READ_PROFILE was in it's place under my permission's tab.
I know this is an old thread, but hopefully if someone has the same issue I did they'll stumble across this.
Thanks!
