Permission Denial With Broadcast Receiver

Question

I am trying to create an app which enters a log message when I make an outgoing call.

However, when I run the code, I get a permission denial, despite the fact that I have entered in the permissions.

Denial Log:

"09-04 02:35:50.535 1294-1666/? W/BroadcastQueue﹕ Permission Denial: receiving Intent { act=android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL flg=0x10000010 (has extras) } to samples.varma.packagecom.testreceive2/.CallReceiver requires android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS due to sender android (uid 1000)"

Manifest Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="samples.varma.packagecom.testreceive2" >
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0">

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="14"
        android:targetSdkVersion="23" />


    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS"/>

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


        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>


        <receiver
            android:name=".CallReceiver">


            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE"/>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>
    </application>


</manifest>

And here is the code for my receiver:

package samples.varma.packagecom.testreceive2;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.util.Log;

public class CallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    public CallReceiver() {
    }

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        String state = intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE);
        if (state == null) {
            String number = intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER);
            Log.i("TAG", "Outgoing Number: " + number);
        } else if (state.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING)) {
            String number = intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_PHONE_NUMBER);
            Log.i("TAG", "Incoming Number: " + number);
        }
    }
        }

I am very new to this so there is a good chance that there are several errors or I am completely off base. Regardless I would greatly appreciate any guidance. Would anyone know why I am getting this denial?

Thanks

Edit:

It is also giving me these permission denials even though I have added the phone state permission.

The privileged phone-state permission is a system permission so I cannot add.

Answer 1

U need to apply the runtime permission int your code when your code running on Android 6.0 or above.

Answer 2

I got it to work by following this link closely Intercepting outgoing call - what am I missing? (thanks ajit)

I ended up taking off the PHONE_STATE permission, adding android:enabled="true" and android:exported="true" to my receiver in the manifest, relocating the NEW_OUTGOING_CALL permission to below application(not sure if this is necessary), taking away the intended sdk versions and basically copying the receiver from the link.

Updated manifest code from receiver tag to manifest tag is:

    <receiver
            android:name=".testreceive3"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:exported="true" >
            <intent-filter>

                <action android:name="android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL"/>-->
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>
    </application>

     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS" />>-->

 </manifest>
