Android user permission error

Question

I have an error :

Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: WifiService: Neither user 10132 nor current process has android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE.

I try do get wifi name (ssid). I use this code:

WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getSystemService (Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
System.out.println(wifiManager.getConnectionInfo ().getSSID ());

In my manifest file i added this permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />

What i do wrong? This and this doesn't work for me Thanks

Answer 1

Taking into account that you're using the right permission and the lines are syntactically correct, it's likely you've misplaced the permissions in your manifest , if you have them somewhere else but the root of the manifest xml node, they will likely not work at all. They need to go after <manifest> and before </manifest> but not inside <application> or <activity>

<manifest xlmns:android...>
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
 ...YOUR APPLICATION & ACTIVITY HERE...
</manifest>

Note that the manifest tag was simplified for readability

<uses-permission>

Answer 2

add this in your AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" /> 
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" /> 
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE" /> 
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> 
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

it is Ok for me!

Answer 3

if(provider!=null && !provider.equals("")){

    // Get the location from the given provider
    Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);   // error (call require permission which may be rejected by user)

    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 20000, 1, this);

    if(location!=null)
        onLocationChanged(location);
    else
        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Location can't be retrieved", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }else{
        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "No Provider Found", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

Answer 4

when you change wifi state, this also need this.

try this.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />

Add this list of permission in the AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" /> 
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" /> 
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE" /> 
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> 
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
