Unfortunately, stormy has stopped

//Below is my error message

java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied (missing INTERNET permission?)

//Looked up online and StackExchange suggested
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

//I tried this and it still doesn't work

//Any help would be dandy, I'll admit to not knowing much about permissions so it could an //easy fix (fingers crossed)

The uses permission tag need to be higher up, usually right after the opening manifest tag. The tags are nested much like HTML or a layout XML file. Nesting permission inside the activity doesn't work because it should belong to the entire application, not just a single screen of it.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest package="kybacorps.com.stormy" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

 //PLACE ADDED CODE HERE
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

</manifest>

thanks Seth Kroger. the app is working it seems but it doesn't look like Ben's app (that gps looking interface). I do have the "09-22 21:36:22.253 21808-21808/kybacorps.com.stormy D/MainActivity: Main UI code is running!" now so am I good?

actually, that's probably just a menu that comes with that phone emulator
