android logcat " android.permission.LOCATION_HARDWARE " SecurityException

Question

I must use startCustomizedScan(ScanSettings requested) function. Request a scan for access points in specified channel list. Each channel is specified by its frequency in MHz, e.g. "2437"

My Full code is hear.

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Button scanButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
        scanButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager)getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
                ScanSettings scanSettings = new ScanSettings();
                addWifiChannel(scanSettings, 11);
                wifiManager.startCustomizedScan(scanSettings);
            }
        });
    }

    public WifiChannel createWifiChannel(int channel) {
        WifiChannel wifiChannel = new WifiChannel();
        wifiChannel.channelNum = channel;
        //wifiChannel.freqMHz = getFrequencyFromChannel(channel);
        return wifiChannel;
    }

    public void addWifiChannel(ScanSettings scanSettings, int channel) {
        if (scanSettings.channelSet == null) scanSettings.channelSet = new ArrayList<WifiChannel>();
        scanSettings.channelSet.add(createWifiChannel(channel));
    }

    private final static ArrayList<Integer> channelsFrequency = new ArrayList<Integer>(
            Arrays.asList(0, 2412, 2417, 2422, 2427, 2432, 2437, 2442, 2447,
                    2452, 2457, 2462, 2467, 2472, 2484));
    public static Integer getFrequencyFromChannel(int channel) {
        return channelsFrequency.get(channel);
    }

    public static int getChannelFromFrequency(int frequency) {
        return channelsFrequency.indexOf(Integer.valueOf(frequency));
    }

}

My Manifaste file is here:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.custom.wifiscan"
    android:sharedUserId="com.example.android"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

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

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.LOCATION_HARDWARE" />

But my aplication run real devices (LG G3 run in 5.0 ) application is stoped

android.permission.LOCATION_HARDWARE What does the error. How can I solve this error Please someone give me some insight, Best respects, Thank.

Answer 1

Does that app run as a system app? Because LOCATION_HARDWARE needs system level permission.
