Cannot resolve Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

Question

When adding permissions to my manifest file, the below xml works.

Answer 1

if you are working on dynamic permissions and any permission like ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION giving error "cannot resolve method PERMISSION_NAME" in this case write you code with permission name and then rebuild your project this will regenerate the manifest(Manifest.permission) file

Answer 2

 if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {

            if (checkSelfPermission(android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
                    || checkSelfPermission(android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

                mapView.setMyLocationEnabled(true); 
            }
        }
        else
        {
            mapView.setMyLocationEnabled(true);

        }

Answer 3

For the first part, you should be using <uses-permission> according the the Android Devlopers site. Try making sure you declare your permissions directly under the <manifest> tag, not in your <application> tag. It's hard to know what your problem is without seeing your entire manifest file. Check out the link I posted above for more info on how to declare permissions in your manifest.

In regards to your runtime permissions problem:

With uses-permissions Cannot resolve that..

new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}

Why?

Make sure you're using android.Manifest instead of my.app.package.Manifest. A lot of times Android Studio will default to the latter instead of the former.

So, your new line of code would look like:

new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION};

Edit: I reformatted my answer.

Edit 2: Be wary of importing android.Manifest. It can cause issues if you're also importing my.app.package.Manifest. Other than that import android.Manifest is another valid way to resolve this issue.

Answer 4

Try this! Since ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION available in following package so Add:

import android.Manifest;

Answer 5

change this

Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

into this

android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

Answer 6

If you have already the uses.permissions setup correctly in your manifest file, as already mentioned by hnilsen, just replace your line:

 Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

by this one:

 android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

This can solve your problem.
