weird permission issue while deleting android bookmarks

Question

I'm facing some permission issue while deleting android bookmarks:

java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: writing com.android.browser.provider.BrowserProvider2 uri content://browser/bookmarks from pid=8045, uid=10028 requires com.android.browser.permission.WRITE_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS

The problem is, I've already set that permission in manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="com.android.broswer.permission.WRITE_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS" />

if this is a copy paste of your permission, you wrote broswer and not browser

He made a typo in the permission and wrote broswer instead of browser – Xavjer Aug 25 '14 at 12:05

Also check that you're typed uses-permission and not uses-permissions (Singular). – msimons Oct 01 '15 at 09:55
