AndroidManifest.xml does not contain android.permission.BLUETOOTH or android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN

[anvk]

Nexus 4 device + Android Studio

Hi, I created a tiny app based on the demo example. Running it on my Nexus4 USB attached device. But application constantly fails with the error:

E/EstimoteSDK﹕ com.estimote.sdk.BeaconManager.isBluetoothEnabled:182 AndroidManifest.xml does not contain android.permission.BLUETOOTH or android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN permissions. BeaconService may be also not declared in AndroidManifest.xml.

beaconManager.isBluetoothEnabled() constantly returns false

I double checked that my AndroidManifest.xml contains the following lines:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
<service android:name="com.estimote.sdk.service.BeaconService"
    android:exported="false"/>

<!-- Declaration that this app is usable on phones with Bluetooth Low Energy. -->
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.bluetooth_le"
    android:required="true"/>

I tried to rebuild the app multiple times but no success. Disabled and enabled bluetooth on my phone multiple times. Maybe I'm missing something stupid...

See examples. You probably placed that in wrong element of AndroidManifest.xml

I tried to replicate AndroidManifest.xml given in the example but it gives the same error.

Here is my file which is almost identical to what is in Demos

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.oz.views" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0">

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="18"
    android:targetSdkVersion="18"/>

<!-- Needed permissions in order to scan for beacons. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PROFILE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

<!-- Declaration that this app is usable on phones with Bluetooth Low Energy. -->
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.bluetooth_le" android:required="true"/>

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name=".LoginActivity"
        android:exported="true"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateVisible" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

    <activity
        android:name=".Beacons"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_beacons" >
    </activity>
</application>

<!-- Estimote service responsible for scanning beacons. -->
<service android:name="com.estimote.sdk.service.BeaconService"
    android:exported="false"/>

I also added code to onCreate of my LoginActivity. (based on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7672334/how-to-check-if-bluetooth-is-enabled-programmatically) and it seems that app HAS bluetooth permissions

BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
        if (mBluetoothAdapter == null) {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Device does not support Bluetooth", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        } else {
            if (!mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Bluetooth is not enabled", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            } else {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Bluetooth is enabled", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        }

Now if I remove permissions

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

then my code above would crash with error java.lang.SecurityException: Need BLUETOOTH permission: Neither user 10211 nor current process has android.permission.BLUETOOTH.

Which clearly indicates that my application is setup properly in terms of permissions

Which OS version?

Did you run demos from SDK?

[anvk]

I tried it first on my OSX at home (Mavericks) Then tried on my Windows 7 work computer. I did run demos and they did start.

But the most weird part that the app I created is absolutely tiny and following the guidelines from README.md. Created basic Android app with Login activity, added the code listed in README to onStart, onCreate, ... added permissions, added SDK jar file. That's it and no go.

Is it possible for me to send you the zip project to look at? It is literally Android starting template with the code listed in the README.md. If we can find what is wrong we could reply in the thread for anyone else who will encounter the same issue.

Put it on github somewhere.

Here is repo https://github.com/anvk/EstimoteExample

Thanks!

I cannot see problem straight away. There might be some subtle bug. Please do work on the demos to strip them to bare bones.

[oskargustafsson]

The "service" tag should be inside the "application" tag, which it is not in the https://github.com/anvk/EstimoteExample.

[aogooe]

Hi, I also met the same problem with you, I check in the whole project for a long time, the code without any problems.Do you find a solution on this issue?For help

[heypiotr]

Have you tried oskargustafsson's solution?
