Developing for Android using bluetooth

Question

I am new at developing for android and while developing an android app that uses bluetooth, I understand that I need to add permissions to use bluetooth in xml file.

I did so but upon running on my device, the app would not utilize the bluetooth. Upon looking carefully under Manage Applications in Android I see that the app does not have bluetooth permission.

The only permissions I have for the app are: personal information, and storage.

I was wondering if there is something wrong with in the way I am uploading my app to the device. I am doing so with the command:

cd C:\Android\Bluetooth\bin\adb -d install BlueToothTest-debug.apk

Here is my AndroidManifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="com.VersionOne0"
  android:versionCode="1"
  android:versionName="1.0">
<application android:label="@string/app_name" >
    <activity android:name="BlueToothTest"
              android:debuggable="true">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Answer 1

You have your permission inside the <application> tag. It should be like this:

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

At the same level the <application> tag.
