Permission Denied: Missing Internet Permission

I'm still running into an Internet Permission issue, my network status permission works, but for whatever reason I still don't have the Internet permission

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

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>


    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".MainListActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

Hello Will,

Are you using an emulator for testing?

Yes, I'm using a Nexus 5 through Genymotion. It's not connected to broadband but is showing a wifi connection, does that require a separate permission? Hadn't even thought to use my phone to troubleshoot.

Hello Will,

Since you're using the emulator for testing, I would start diagnosing the issue by completely restarting the emulator to make sure the new Internet permission is being applied.

I hope this helps. If you still have the issue let me know and we'll try something else :)

Justin, that did the trick! Simple troubleshoot that I didn't even think of.
