I am trying to test use of GPS in Android, however I am getting
java.lang.SecurityException when I try to use the LocationManager
object. I know this question has been asked before but I have tried
the posted suggestions without any success. Here is the code where
the exception is thrown in my OnCreate method of my main Activity
which is called GetLocation:
LocationManager locManager =
(LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
final LocationListener locListener = new MyLocListener();
try{
locManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0,
0, locListener);
}
catch (SecurityException se){
((TextView)findViewById(R.id.infobox)).setText(se.toString());
se.printStackTrace();
}
Here is the error I get in logcat:
java.lang.SecurityException: Requires ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION or
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission
I know this is typically caused by not including the permissions in my
AndroidManifest.xml. However, I already have requested both
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION in the file. Here is
my AndroidManifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
package="com.test.examples"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permisssion.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"></uses-
permission>
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permisssion.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"></uses-
permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permisssion.INTERNET"></
uses-permission>
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/
app_name">
<activity android:name=".GetLocation"
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>
This is my first attempt at using permissions so make no assumptions
that my environment is configured correctly. I have tried using other
permissions in different applications and have seen similar behavior
where, even though I request the permission in the
AndroidManifest.xml, it doesn't get requested when I install it in the
emulator or on my Android phone. Could there be an issue with my
eclipse setup?
Thanks,
Sean
