Answer 2

If you want using Internet in your app as well as check the network state i.e. Is app is connected to the internet then you have to use below code outside of the application tag.

For Internet Permission:

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

For Access network state:

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

Complete Code:

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="9"
    android:targetSdkVersion="16" />

 <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=".MainActivity"
        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>

Answer 3

In the latest release of Google Play, Google removed the need to ask permission for internet as "most apps need it anyways nowadays". However, for users who have older versions, it is still recommended to leave the code below in your manifest

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

Answer 4

Just Add these 2 permissions

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

in your app's AndroidManifest.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        package="com.example.android.networkusage"
        ...>
    
    
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    
        <application 
            ...>
            ...
        </application>
    </manifest>

Happy Coding:)
