Can not find Symbol Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE on v23

Question

I am compile code with following build.gradle file

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

    defaultConfig {

        applicationId "com.example"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

For accessing saving photo into SDCARD i have opened permission Dialog box for V23

like below screenshot

But I am getting following error that

Can not find Symbol Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

I have put sdkVersion to 23 but why i am still getting this error

Answer 1

Finally I found that Menifest file is autogenerated by Android Studio

In AndroideMenifest i have written following code for ParsePushNotification

 <!--
      IMPORTANT: Change "com.parse.starter.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" in the lines below
      to match your app's package name + ".permission.C2D_MESSAGE".
    -->
    <permission android:protectionLevel="signature"
        android:name="com.example.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="com.example.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />

and below menifest file is generated

So when i have written code below it's works

android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

instead of

Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

Or you can just import android.Manifest. – Interlaken

Why is WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE bothered by C2D_MESSAGE permission? I have same issue. In my case I need to use C2D_MESSAGE from Manifest, rather than android.Manifest... – Tristichous

Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE : not working means you are importing wrong one. I have imported java.util.jar, and getting this error – Dosimeter

Answer 2

Only write Android before manifest class. Change:

Manifest.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR

to:

android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR

Answer 3

I think you can use Manifest class from android in android.Manifest.permission or android.Manifest.permission_group. For detail permission types you can read from this Manifest.permission, see this

int permissionCheck = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity,
    android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR);

Do, import android.Manifest . It will solve the issue. _Thanks – Acuna

Answer 4

the solution to this problem is simple..just add the word "android" before the word "manifest".

android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR

Answer 5

Read this article please.

Since the permission system is redesigned there are some permissions that need access to be revoked and some others that do not. The specific permission that you request is in a group that is called android.permission-group.STORAGE. Check this out.

Try this out:

private static final int REQUEST_EXTERNAL_STORAGE = 1;
    private static String[] PERMISSIONS_STORAGE = {Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
            Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE};

            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(mActivity, PERMISSIONS_STORAGE,
                     REQUEST_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);

Answer 7

Two solutions are here :

1. Add import android.Manifest to the imports section.
2. Add the android keyword before the permission name (e.g. android.Manifest.permission.CAMERA)

Answer 8

import android.Manifest is the solution if IDE is not recognizing Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
