05. Request Internet Permission

Question:

Now you’ll have a chance to practice adding a permission to an existing Android app.

1. Download the Soonami app project located at this Github link. Click on the “Clone or download” button and then select “Download zip”.

2. Import the project into Android Studio. Have a look around the project, and see what code you recognize.

3. When you build the app and run it on your device, the app should crash with the Security Exception we saw in the previous video. Check the log messages in Android Studio to find the error stacktrace.

Your Turn

Fix the app by adding the internet permission. Feel free to search online for resources related to this task. When you’re done, the app should look like this.
