I am trying to access HTTP link using HttpURLConnection in Android to download a file, but I am getting this warning in LogCat:

WARN/System.err(223): java.net.SocketException: Permission denied (maybe missing INTERNET permission)

I have added android.Manifest.permission to my application but it's still giving the same exception.

Assuming you do not have permissions set from your LogCat error description, here is my contents for my AndroidManifest.xml file that has access to the internet:

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

Other than that, you should be fine to download a file from the internet.
