I got this error when i was going to grant CHANGE_CONFIGURATION permission to my application:(is Windows platform)

CMD command line error is below:

/$ pm grant packageName android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION >

operation not allowed: java.lang.SecurityException: Package packageName has not requested permission android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION

Anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks

    Welcome to SO. You shouldn't take screenshots of your code. It's possible to copy them out of the terminal. Don't be lazy, write them directly into the question. – Smittey Nov 09 '15 at 09:56

Have you requested CHANGE_CONFIGURATION in your Manifest?

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION">

Which device and version of Android are you using? I've tested the pm grant command on a Nexus 6 using Android 6 (MRA58N), it worked.

You have to request the permission to be granted.

inside OnCreate method of your main activity:

// New permissions model test
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
{
    if (checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
    {
        String [] permissions = new String[1];
        permissions[0] = Manifest.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION;

        requestPermissions(permissions, 7001);
    }
}

And override this in your activity:

@Override public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults)
{
    super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);

    if(grantResults[0] == 0)    // Permission was granted
        yourJob.start();    
}

Of course, declare it in the manifest.xml as well

    `CHANGE_CONFIGURATION` is a `signature|privileged|development` permission, it will not be granted to an application using `requestPermissions()`. – cuihtlauac Nov 14 '15 at 08:54
