How to resolve (Error: Unsupported type 'uses-permission') in Android Studio?

Question

Right now, I'm doing an mobile apps to capture audio and save it in the database, but I have an error in my codes. And I don't know how to resolve it. When I run the program, it will show :

Error: Unsupported type 'uses-permission'

And below are my code in AndroidManifest.xml and the error come from here:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.lenovo.androidaudiocapture" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.STORAGE" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

    <activity
        android:name="com.example.lenovo.androidaudiocapture.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >

        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>

    </activity>

</application>
</manifest>

The activity_main.xml file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I hope I can get positives reply.

Thank you.

Answer 1

there is typing mistake in your manifest file while you are adding permission in manifest file

you should use this

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

instead of this

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

Answer 2

The following permission does not exist(and it causes your error):

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

Use this one instead:

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