What permission do I need to access Internet from an Android application?
Add the INTERNET permission to your manifest file.
You have to add this line:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
outside the application
tag in your AndroidManifest.xml
requesting internet permission not working
As I'm not allowed to delete this question any more because other people have already put effort into answering the question, I will explain to you what my error was. I did have the permission for internet access the whole time - so I had a completely different fault in my code, and I misinterpreted the error message and thought it was a permission thing, because the internet permission doesn't show up on the app info screen. It never does, because it's not a 'dangerous' permission, that much I've learned.
To summarize: Getting the permission to establish a connection to the internet on android is as easy as adding the permission in the AndroidManifest.xml
.
Android App doesn't have internet connection - No Permissions required
in android 9 and above you have to set network Security Config
first of all in res package create xml package and in xml package create new xml resource file with network_security_config name
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true" />
</network-security-config>
then in manifest in
android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config"
Android 6 Permission access to internet
You don't need to ask for internet or access_network_state permission because Android grant it by default.

How to Check for dangerous permissions?
I am posting code the way i did. Let's say we what to check for CAMARA
permission.
public class Utility {
public static final int MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CAMERA = 130;
public static boolean checkPermissionCAMERA(final Context context) {
int currentAPIVersion = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
if (currentAPIVersion >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,
Manifest.permission.CAMERA) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale((Activity) context,
Manifest.permission.CAMERA)) {
AlertDialog.Builder alertBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
alertBuilder.setCancelable(true);
alertBuilder.setTitle("Permission necessary");
alertBuilder.setMessage("Camera permission is necessary");
alertBuilder.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.yes, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions((Activity) context,
new String[] { Manifest.permission.CAMERA }, MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CAMERA);
}
});
AlertDialog alert = alertBuilder.create();
alert.show();
} else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions((Activity) context, new String[] { Manifest.permission.CAMERA },
MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CAMERA);
}
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
} else {
return true;
}
}
public static void showDialogOK(final Activity context, String message) {
AlertDialog.Builder alertBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
alertBuilder.setCancelable(true);
alertBuilder.setTitle("Permission necessary");
alertBuilder.setMessage(message);
alertBuilder.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.yes, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
Utility.checkAndRequestPermissions(context);
}
});
AlertDialog alert = alertBuilder.create();
alert.show();
}
}
Now inside your Activity.
if(Utility.checkPermissionCAMERA(this)){
// Do work
}
and finally override onRequestPermissionsResult
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case Utility.MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CAMERA:
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(Splash_Activity.this,
Manifest.permission.CAMERA) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// do work
}else{
// take action
}
break;
}
}
EDIT:
How to Check for multiple permissions?
public class Utility {
public static final int REQUEST_ID_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS = 101;
public static boolean checkAndRequestPermissions(final Activity context) {
int ExtstorePermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,
Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
int WExtstorePermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,
Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
int cameraPermission = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,
Manifest.permission.CAMERA);
int READ_PHONE_STATE = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,
Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE);
int location = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
int READ_CONTACTS = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,
Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS);
int RECORD_AUDIO = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,
Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO);
int internet = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context,
Manifest.permission.INTERNET);
List<String> listPermissionsNeeded = new ArrayList<>();
if (cameraPermission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.CAMERA);
}
if (WExtstorePermission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
listPermissionsNeeded
.add(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
}
if (ExtstorePermission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
listPermissionsNeeded
.add(Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
}
if (location != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
}
if (READ_PHONE_STATE != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE);
}
if (READ_CONTACTS != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS);
}
if (RECORD_AUDIO != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO);
}
if (internet != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
listPermissionsNeeded.add(Manifest.permission.INTERNET);
}
if (!listPermissionsNeeded.isEmpty()) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(context, listPermissionsNeeded
.toArray(new String[listPermissionsNeeded.size()]),
REQUEST_ID_MULTIPLE_PERMISSIONS);
return false;
}
return true;
}
public static void showDialogOK(final Activity context, String message) {
AlertDialog.Builder alertBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
alertBuilder.setCancelable(true);
alertBuilder.setTitle("Permission necessary");
alertBuilder.setMessage(message);
alertBuilder.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.yes,
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
Utility.checkAndRequestPermissions(context);
}
});
AlertDialog alert = alertBuilder.create();
alert.show();
}
}
I hope this will help
How to add manifest permission to an application?
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.
Is the request for internet persmission required at runtime (Android)?
No, you shouldn't ask for INTERNET
permission at runtime.
INTERNET
belongs to the Normal permissions group, which are automatically granted by the system if they're declared in the Manifest, as mentioned in this document:
Normal permissions do not directly risk the user's privacy. If your app lists a normal permission in its manifest, the system grants the permission automatically.
android.permission.INTERNET?
The answer in this case is that no, the permissions are not required in this instance, as Dipendra has pointed out in his answer, as the application is sending it's requests as Intents via external applications and aren't direct requests to the network from within his application.
A little background:
The easiest way you can know whether you need the permission is to use your application on a test device. Does it work as you intended it? Do you get any errors without the INTERNET
permission?
If you do, then its clear that you need it! If not (and in the case of this question's scenario), you do not need the INTERNET
permission.
The permissions are there as a security feature.
The permission in question is:
public static final String INTERNET
Allows applications to open network sockets.
Constant Value: "android.permission.INTERNET"
If your application needs network sockets, then your application needs permission to use them. Simple as that.
Add the below line to your manifest if you require the permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
The permissions are there to protect the user, so it is about being upfront and clear of what your applications intentions are.
Android user-permission to access Internet
I've got it placed between uses-sdk
and application
, works for me.
Try to clean your project perhaps.
