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:

Its a way to cover the bar on the top or remove it?

Hello everyone i have a question can i remove this bar or cover it?
its anoying when i go back in the app it shows the bar, when i open the app then its normal.Can someone help me?
I searched around of the internet and i cant find any question about it to remove the tiny bar on the top.
When you can help me please write it down.
Here is the manifest code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.minecraft_pc.test">
<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="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">
<activity
android:name=".FullscreenActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/FullscreenTheme">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

Try do it programmatically:
// as the doc page says, this is a solution for Android > 4.1
View view= getWindow().getDecorView();
int flagOption = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN;
view.setSystemUiVisibility(flagOption);
You can check the relative doc page.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B44QwXQHh5irNFRnYkhzdDhPM00/edit?usp=sharing

buddy add exported flag in setting activity and set it true android:exported="true"

change the package name in your xml folder wallpaper.xml file to a fully qualified name.
android:settingsActivity="yourPackagename.PrefsActivity"
in the Manifest file add:
<activity
android:exported="true"
android:name=".PrefsActivity"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar">

My app gets the error "Unfortunately, App has stopped." every time I load it

I was initially trying to add a splash page to my app, and followed a tutorial on how to do so. However, now every time I load my app, it does to a white screen for a few seconds before saying "Unfortunately, [App] has stopped."
I was unable to find a way to copy LogCat, so here's an image of the errors which appear:
Also, here's my Manifest XML:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.bipbapapps.leagueclickerapp"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".Splash"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".MainClass"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.bipbapapps.leagueclicker.CLICKER" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Deleting the splash Java and activity from the manifest does nothing to help now (and when I deleted it, I did revert MainClass to .LAUNCHER .
Can anyone make sense of the list, and/or help me run my app again?

From the logs, I found that you should
Call the requestFeature before setContentView();

The error says it you are calling setContentView() before requestFeature(). Don't do it.

LogCat should show you the problem. Click on all the error lines in the LogCat until you will be redirected to the problem.
I, myself, found that your problem could be at: Splash.java, line 19
Go check it out, hope it helps!

Android multiple instances of Activity

I'm having a problem where multiple instances of an activity are present in the backstack.
e.g.
Stack: A > B > C
Press home and use some other apps then relaunch my app
Stack: A > B > C > A
I would expect my app to resume with activity C, which in most cases it does, but occasionally it resumes with activity A and then when i press back it goes to activity C.
I know this problem is not caused by android killing my app as if this was the case it would resume with activity A as the root.
I have tried altering the launchMode attribute to singleTask and singleInstance but this results in activity A being resumed as the root, which is not the behaviour that i want, i want it to go back to the previously viewed activity with the backstack intact (I understand this is not always possible if the OS kills the app, which is fine).
I dont believe setting the launchMode attribute to singleTop would be useful either as this would prevent A > A situations but not A > B > A or A > B > C > A etc
Manifest:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

The behavior you're looking for is what singleTask was meant for.
The problem, then, is why resuming your app pops back to the root. If it's just due to the usual way the system works (e.g., 30-minute timeout), and you really want to prevent that, you could use android:alwaysRetainTaskState="true".
