Android Security Exception - Don't have permission ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE

Question

Every time I try to start up my application it crashes immediately because it receives this error.

Here is my Manifest

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

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="11"
        android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

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


    <application
        android:exported = "true"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name="com.example.simpleweatherandroid.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>

I definitely have the permission in there and I have run out of solutions I can come up with/find on the Internet. I can't figure this out. Does anyone know what's wrong? I'm pretty new to this so it might be something basic.

Whenever I try that it tells me it needs to be right under the manifest tag for it to work — user2913241, Mar 03 '14 at 05:43

Change it by from

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

to

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

Also you have to clean your project and rebuild it again. Also uninstall your app from device. And finally must insure that in your mobile device internet is available.

Change this line in your maniefest file

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

to

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