android.permission.PHONE_CALL is added in manifest but still got permission error


I'm trying to use ACTION_CALL intent for calling a USSD code. I have added the android.permission.PHONE_CALL to the manifest file but it doesn't work and get the permission error exception. PS: as you see there are also permissions for GPS and INTERNET and they works fine. Here are the codes:

public void onClick(View v) {
    String encodedHash = Uri.encode("#");
    String number = "*140*1";
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
    intent.setPackage("com.android.phone");
    intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + number + encodedHash));           
    try{
        startActivity(intent);
    } catch(Exception ex){
        Toast.makeText(getApplication(), ex.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
}

Manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.test"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="17"
        android:targetSdkVersion="21" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PHONE_CALL" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity .......

Solution

  • I think you misspelled the text, change to the following: android.permission.CALL_PHONE
