I'm working on an Android Project. Basically, I'm trying to run WebView that displays Google Maps.
I wanted to display my own location but when I press the button for this, I get exceptions like:
11-18 17:29:56.237 7678-7678/com.example.ali.bellsolution E/LocationProvider: Caught security exception while registering for location updates from the system. The application does not have sufficient geolocation permissions.
11-18 17:29:56.257 7678-7678/com.example.ali.bellsolution E/LocationProvider: Caught security exception while registering for location updates from the system. The application does not have sufficient geolocation permissions.
11-18 17:29:56.260 7678-7678/com.example.ali.bellsolution E/LocationProvider: Caught security exception while registering for location updates from the system. The application does not have sufficient geolocation permissions.
I have added these permissions to the manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
