No internet permission but the permission is given, when i intilize the admob banner (it give a red underlying saying i dont have permission)

I get this missing "Missing permissions required by BaseAdView.loadAd: android.permission.INTERNET" when i copy pasted the meta tags that are needed for the google maps sdk, without them it doesn't show the error. What could be the issue and the fix?

TODO: Before you run your application, you need a Google Maps API key.
To get one, follow the directions here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/get-api-key
Once you have your API key (it starts with "AIza"), define a new property in your
project's local.properties file (e.g. MAPS_API_KEY=Aiza...), and replace the
"YOUR_API_KEY" string in this file with "${MAPS_API_KEY}".

The problem is that android is unable to resolve ${MAPS_API_KEY}.
The easiest fix is replacing ${MAPS_API_KEY} with real key directly in manifest, something like:
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
android:value="AIzaSyBdJ88HN7LTGkHHK5whfaVv8a5ozlx2E_k" />
If you anyway want to store your key in .properties file, follow this answer:
How to store maps api key in local.properties and use it in AndroidManifest.xml

I set android:exported but I am still getting error: android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for <receiver>

I am moving from SDK version 30 to 31 and I add android:exported in intent-filter but still I am getting this error:
Merging Errors: Error: android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for . Apps targeting Android 12 and higher are required to specify an explicit value for android:exported when the corresponding component has an intent filter defined. See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element#exported for details.

The reason is because some of the dependency libraries that you're using have elements which do not have "android:exported" attribute.
You need to do this:
Lower the version in your gradle to 30 and sync and build.
Go to your AndroidManifest.xml file and click on "Merged Manifest".
Find items such as Activity, Receiver, Service, etc that don't have "android:exported" attribute.
Then add them to your AndroidManifest.xml file in this way.
<activity
android:name="SomeActivity"
android:exported="false"
tools:node="merge"
tools:replace="android:exported" />
Now you can increase your version to 31.

I resolve my issue. I just check the merged manifest and look for reciver. In onesignal, I found out reciver with intent filter defined without android:exported. I just add android:exported="false".

Flurry integration Android throwing errors

I'm trying to integrate flurry into my android app. I'm using the recommended setting and have repositories{jcenter()} and
// Required for Flurry Analytics integration
compile 'com.flurry.android:analytics:8.2.0#aar'
// Optional - If you want to use the Ads SDK
compile 'com.flurry.android:ads:8.2.0#aar'
in the gradle as the docs suggest. I keep getting errors in the that Application is not resolved. The docs really blow and I'm not 100% sure what going on. I've never integrated flurry before can someone please help! I put the manifest and the class i'm using below. I know it doesn't have a key I'm still working on removing errors. I'm dumping the that class in the main file for simplicity for now.

Android Studio: Application crashes at start

my application crashes at start and I have no idea why. I'm testing it on a real device (Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300). Here is the exception:
EDIT:
So, that's what I've added to onCreate():
walking.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
travel_mode = "walking";
walking.setImageResource(R.drawable.walking_sel);
biking.setImageResource(R.drawable.regular_biking);
driving.setImageResource(R.drawable.car_icon);
transit.setImageResource(R.drawable.transit_icon);
}
});
biking.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
travel_mode = "biking";
walking.setImageResource(R.drawable.walking);
biking.setImageResource(R.drawable.regular_biking_sel);
driving.setImageResource(R.drawable.car_icon);
transit.setImageResource(R.drawable.transit_icon);
}
});
Before I've added this piece of code, everything worked correctly.
And here is AndroidManifest.xml:

</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Please post more code and there is nothing to do with manifest here post layout xml and activity code where you have defined walking and biking findViews().
Just check it out that you have defined findViewsById of both walking and biking before you are calling setOnClickListener method.

Does your application still compile successfully after deleting the two modules?
If it doesn't compile, look for the lines in your classes or xml files which have yellow or red exclamation marks. That should alert you to where the problem is coming from.
You should also take a good look at line 64 in your *welcome.java class.

Google Play Services - Google login yields a network error

I am trying to integrate Google Play Services into my application in order to enable achievements. Upon application launch, a login attempt is being made which results in one of the following errors:
There was a problem communicating with Google servers.
Failed to log in. Please check your network connection and try again later.
A̶p̶p̶l̶i̶c̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶c̶r̶a̶s̶h̶e̶s̶
The application is incorrectly configured. Check that the package name and signing certificate match the cliend ID created in Developer console. Also, if the application is not yer published, check that the account you are trying to sign in with is listed as a tester account. See logs for more information.
Logcat displays absolutely no data related to this problem so I don't even have a clue what could be wrong. The app is authenticated correctly, with the correct SHA1 certificate fingerprint and app id copied to manifest. Does anyone have any could what this could be?
Thanks.

I resolved the issue I had by deleting Google+ data related to my previous game login and logging in again. I do not know what caused this error in the first place but it may be due to wrong settings in my Developer Console. I did change some things, like re-authenticated the app but the changes took effect only after deleting old data.
