I have re read what you posted here and it seems you're right. To summarize:
- If you need Internet access, you must put that permission in the manifest - Since android.permission.INTERNET falls under PROTECTION_NORMAL, it will be granted - that means the user won't see a dialog box asking to give that permission at runtime Now the question that is bugging me from some time - and I say this because I think I've seen this even before Android L - is the following: *Is the Internet permission listed at the time the user taps on "Install" in the Play Store app?* If I recall correctly I've seen apps that access the Internet for which that permission is *not *listed in the Play Store.
