I am getting an error about permissions but I have already set the required permissions on the manifest file, so I do not understand what I am doing wrong or what I have to fix, can someone shed any light on the situation?

Also, I am getting some errors about the doinbackground that I do not understand as well, is it because of the permission error that I get an error there as well or am I doing something wrong?

Edit#1:

Seems like i fixed the issue with permissions from the link you gave me but now it looks like i have Fatal exception in my doinbackground in my weatherview class.

Edit#2: When i am using the manifest 1 i am getting the error output 1 which gives me a permissions error, but when i am using manifest 2 which gets rid of the permissions error i am getting a tag error :/

Edit#3: Updated the error output and manifest file to match the current file, output

Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

put this attribute in the manifest of application tag

android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"

Answer 2

The tag name network_security_config rename it to network-security-config

Edit 1: Change it to this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <network-security-config> <domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true"> <domain includeSubdomains="true">www.weatherapi.com</domain> </domain-config> </network-security-config>

Edit 2: For the 2nd error output, It's telling you that you're using (with underscore) instead of (with dash), please make sure they are all dashes in the start and end tags.
