WARN/ActivityManager(5038): Permission denied: checkComponentPermission

Question

From one application I am (broadcast) sending an intent to a broadcastreceiver of another one. I am getting the error:

WARN/ActivityManager(5038): Permission denied: checkComponentPermission

Answer 1

You need to add permission under your manifest file add these

<receiver android:name=".YourBroadCastReceiverName" android:exported="true"></receiver>

Answer 2

The solution is to add android:exported="true" to the activity that will be invoked by the intent. Adding it to the receiver, as suggested by another answer, did not work for me, but adding it to the activity did.

Answer 3
