[android-developers] READ_SMS permissions not working

[draf...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I keep getting the following error:

01-15 12:29:28.155: ERROR/DatabaseUtils(115):
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: reading
com.android.providers.telephony.SmsProvider uri content://sms from
pid=1004, uid=10054 requires android.permission.READ_SMS


Even though I have the persmission READ_SMS in my manifest, I have
tried it both outside the application tags and inside, neither way
seems to work and the same error keeps popping up

Here is my manifest:

XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
      package="cicero.org"
      android:versionCode="1"
      android:versionName="1.0">
    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/
app_name">
        <activity android:name=".TestApp"
                  android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:name=".SettingsApp"
                  android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.SETTINGS" /

                <category

            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
          <provider android:name=".CiceroContentProvider"
 
android:authorities="cicero.org.CiceroContentProvider"
                              android:multiprocess="true" />

        <receiver android:name=".SMSApp">
          <intent-filter>
              <action
android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
           </intent-filter>
       </receiver>

    </application>
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" />
    <uses-permssion android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/>
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS"/
>
     <uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
     <uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
     <uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS"/>
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"/>
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS"/>
     <uses-permssion android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SMS"/>
</manifest>


Anybody got any ideas if I'm missing something else or why the
permission is not getting recognized in the manifest?

Here is my code that I am using:

//in onCreate()

        String url = "content://sms/";
                Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
                getContentResolver().registerContentObserver(uri, true, new
MyContentObserver(handler));


    //own class
    class MyContentObserver extends ContentObserver {

        public MyContentObserver(Handler handler) {

                super(handler);

        }

    @Override public boolean deliverSelfNotifications() {
        return false;
        }

    @Override public void onChange(boolean arg0) {
        super.onChange(arg0);

         Log.v("SMS", "Notification on SMS observer");

        Message msg = new Message();
        msg.obj = "xxxxxxxxxx";

        handler.sendMessage(msg);

        Uri uriSMSURI = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
        Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(uriSMSURI, null, null,
                     null, null);
        cur.moveToNext();
        String protocol = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex
("protocol"));
        if(protocol == null)
               Log.d("SMS", "SMS SEND");
        else
                Log.d("SMS", "SMS RECIEVE");


    }

Anybody got any ideas if I'm missing something else or why the
permission is not getting recognized in the manifest or is it my code
that is doing something that is currently not allowed?
