Android Question b4a audio record premission exception

[Addo]

i am trying to record from the microphone in the service and when ever i try to start recording i got permission exception

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: startRecording() called on an uninitialized AudioRecord.

i am already initialized the audiostreamer

Sub Service_Create

   audioStream.Initialize2(1, "AudioStream", 8000, True, 16, audioStream.VOLUME_MUSIC)

End sub

i have tried to add premission to the manifest editor but with no luck what could be the problem ?

@Erel i have searched on forum and see similar problems as you suggested to other thread to use runtimepremission i have solve it following this tutorial

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/runtime-permissions-android-6-0-permissions.67689/#content

but what is the different if i add the permission in the manifest ? why i have to call the recording permission manually not while installation process

 

[Erel]

The 'record audio' permission is considered a dangerous permission. As explained in the tutorial you must explicitly request the user permission for this.

Thank you very much all good now
