Java lang securityexception ошибка как исправить на андроид

I have a library (jar) on build path of my project. The project accesses the MainActivity in the jar, using the following intent:

final Intent it = new Intent();
it.setClassName("com.example.lib", "com.example.lib.MainActivity");
startActivity(it);

It used to work for sometime, but suddenly started getting ‘ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent’ which I was able to resolve. But now I am stuck with a ‘java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent’.

I have tried all suggestions made on stackoverflow (check for duplicates in manifest file; add android:exported=»true» to lib manifest; Eclipse> Project> Clean; adding/ modifying ‘intent-filter’ tags; etc.). I even tried re-writing the manifest of the project but not going anywhere with it.

Here’s the logcat output:

What am I overlooking? Any suggestions?

EDIT

I updated the manifest.xml with all other activities & somehow, that resolved the problem. The intent activity starts up without any errors. BUT, this is only on AVD. On actual device, it is still throwing same error. I have uninstalled the app from device completely and reinstalled, yet the same error.

I have an android application that i need to receive sms and I found a certain tutorial that teaches how to do that but when I run it & I get android permission exception

        //this will update the UI with message
        SmsActivity inst = SmsActivity.instance();
        inst.updateList(smsMessageStr);
    }
}

}

Can anyone please help me because i have been stack here for a long time now? Any help will be appreciated thanks

Solution 1

The issue was with Launcher selection in Android Studio. To improve testing speed of application module there was selected other Activity as Launcher(in run properties) than specified in manifest.xml. Strange that it worked even on emulator..

The solution is simply to change the Launcher to the one set in AndroidManifest.xml

Solution 2

Simply add:

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

on AndroidManifest.xml into the tag:

<activity>

Hope it helps
