Solve SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent. What permission do I need?

Issue

I want to open the play store from app. It's fine in Samsung, but it failed in OnePlus mobile. I don't know where does the alibaba come from. It's strange.

Exception java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=http://play.google.com/... cmp=com.alibaba.intl.android.apps.poseidon/com.alibaba.android.intl.weex.activity.WeexPageActivity } from ProcessRecord{a1dd30c 15827:a2bliving.ie.a2b/u0a151} (pid=15827, uid=10151) not exported from uid 10156

Code:

private static final String PLAY_STORE_LINK = "http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=%s&hl=en";

public void openUpdateLink() {
        context.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(getExternalAppLink())));
    }

 public String getExternalAppLink() {
        return String.format(PLAY_STORE_LINK, context.getPackageName());
    }

Solution

You need to set android:exported="true" in your AndroidManifest.xml file

<activity
    android:name="com.anurag.example.MainActivity"
    android:label="Demo" 
    android:exported="true">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" >
        </action>
    </intent-filter>
</activity>
