buetooth_admin permission in serialexample

[Beja]

Hello friends,
Today I tried out the first serialexample project AS IS (without any modification

I got the following error message:

Error in: main_activity_resume(java line: 264)
java.lang.securityexception: need buetooth_admin permission:
neither user 10172 nor current process has android permission.
BLUETOOTH)ADMIN continue?

How and where can I get those permissions?

I am using my laptop with blutetooth enabled and my phone with Android 4.0
the phone can see the laptop.

Thanks in advance and please pardon my less-than-perfect knowledge.

What is the exact version of Android that you are using?

Look who submitted it...

What is the exact version of Android that you are using?
.

Android 4.04 running on DM006

Add this line to the manifest editor:

AddPermission(android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN)

Thanks Erel, and sorry but the same message pops up!
tried to do some testing and turned the bluetooth off then ran the app; it
detected it and asked me to first enable bluetooth, so the app is working fine
but the issue is with this permission..
Note: I appended the line you gave me at the end of the manifest file.. should I
put it on top of all?

I appended the line you gave me at the end of the manifest file

Did you add it by pressing on Project - Manifest Editor?

The order is not important.

Check AndroidManifest.xml after you compile and see whether the permission is listed or not.

 

[Beja]

Yes Erel, Went to Project and then all the way down to Manifest Editor and
pasted the xtml line.
Now from Project - Manifest Editor, it is reading:
AddPermission(android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN)

but from Objects folder it is reading:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>

 

[Erel]

but from Objects folder it is reading:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>

This is the correct syntax. The problem is somewhere else. Your device doesn't grant this permission for some reason. Which device are you using?

 

[Beja]

Erel,
The device I am using LePhone DM006. 5.3" With Android 4.04
ODM - Lephone Chinese Official Website

But today I installed the modified version of the bluetooth example.. this time
an error jumped out in the emulator (see attached screenshot), but after installing
the APK file in my phone, there was no error -and no discovery of bluetooth devices either.
I was working from Berger King (oops!) and at least my laptop's bluetooth was
enabled.

Note: my laptop is Lenovo T61

 

[Erel]

The emulator doesn't support Bluetooth.

Thanks Erel,
the app is runnung fine in the phone.. could search and find nearby devices but
I am not able to talk to any of them.. I think I need to do some homework on
this because I am new to bluetooth and must be missing something.
thanks again.
