How to add manifest permission to an application?
AndroidExceptionAndroid ManifestAndroid Problem Overview
I am trying to access HTTP link using HttpURLConnection
in Android to download a file, but I am getting this warning in LogCat
:
>WARN/System.err(223): java.net.SocketException: Permission denied (maybe missing INTERNET permission)
I have added android.Manifest.permission

Assuming you do not have permissions set from your LogCat
error description, here is my contents for my AndroidManifest.xml
file that has access to the internet:
<manifest xlmns:android...>
...
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application ...
</manifest>
Other than that, you should be fine to download a file from the internet.

Permission name is CASE-SENSITIVE
In case somebody will struggle with same issue, it is case sensitive statement, so wrong case means your application won't get the permission.
WRONG
<uses-permission android:name="ANDROID.PERMISSION.INTERNET" />
CORRECT
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
This issue may happen ie. on autocomplete in IDE

If you are using the Eclipse ADT plugin for your development, open AndroidManifest.xml
in the Android Manifest Editor (should be the default action for opening AndroidManifest.xml
from the project files list).
Afterwards, select the Permissions
tab along the bottom of the editor (Manifest - Application - Permissions - Instrumentation - AndroidManifest.xml
), then click Add...
a Uses Permission
and select the desired permission from the dropdown on the right, or just copy-paste in the necessary one (such as the android.permission.INTERNET
permission you required).
Solution 5 - Android
Copy the following line to your application manifest file and paste before the <application>
tag.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
Placing the permission below the <application/>
tag will work, but will give you warning. So take care to place it before the <application/>
tag declaration.
Solution 6 - Android
When using eclipse, Follow these steps
- Double click on the manifest to show it on the editor
- Click on the permissions tab below the manifest editor
- Click on Add button
- on the dialog that appears Click uses permission. (Ussually the last item on the list)
- Notice the view that appears on the rigth side Select "android.permission.INTERNET"
- Then a series of Ok and finally save.
Hope this helps

Add the below line in your application tag:
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
To be look like below code :
<application
....
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
....>
And add the following tags above of application
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
to be like that :
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.themarona.app">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

I am late but i want to complete the answer.
An permission is added in manifest.xml
like
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
This is enough for standard permissions where no permission is prompted to the user. However, it is not enough to add permission only to manifest if it is a dangerous permission. See android doc. Like Camera, Storage permissions.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
You will need to ask permission from user. I use RxPermission library that is widely used library for asking permission. Because it is long code which we have to write to ask permission.
RxPermissions rxPermissions = new RxPermissions(this); // where this is an Activity instance // Must be done during an initialization phase like onCreate
rxPermissions
.request(Manifest.permission.CAMERA)
.subscribe(granted -> {
if (granted) { // Always true pre-M
// I can control the camera now
} else {
// Oups permission denied
}
});
Add this library to your app
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.tbruyelle:rxpermissions:0.10.1'
implementation 'com.jakewharton.rxbinding2:rxbinding:2.1.1'
}

That may be also interesting in context of adding INTERNET permission to your application:
>Google has also given each app Internet access, effectively removing the Internet access permission. Oh, sure, Android developers still have to declare they want Internet access when putting together the app. But users can no longer see the Internet access permission when installing an app and current apps that don’t have Internet access can now gain Internet access with an automatic update without prompting you.
Bottom line is that you still have to add INTERNET permission in manifest file but application will be updated on user's devices without asking them for new permission.

FOR FLUTTER DEVELOPERS.
Go to
> android/app/main/AndroidManifest.xml
Outside the
> application tag
but inside the
> manifest tag
Add
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

If you're using Android Studio, hover over the code that requires the permission and click "Add Permission .."
Then you can check the changes in AndroidManifest.xml with git.

You have to use both Network and Access Network State in manifest file while you are trying load or access to the internet through android emulator.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
If you are giving only .INTERNET permission, it won't access to the internet.
