I get the following Exception running my app:
java.net.SocketException: Permission denied (maybe missing INTERNET permission)
How do I solve the missing permission problem?

Add the INTERNET permission to your manifest file.
You have to add this line:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
outside the application tag in your AndroidManifest.xml

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" />

just put above line like below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.avocats.activeavocats"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="9"
android:targetSdkVersion="16" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.exp.MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

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>

I had the same problem even use
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
If you want connect web api using http not https. Maybe you use android device using Android 9 (Pie) or API level 28 or higher . android:usesCleartextTraffic default value is false. You have to set be
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest ...>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
...
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" <!-- this line -->
...>
...
</application>
</manifest>
Finally, should be https

forget about adding the permission into the manifest Add this code as a method
public static boolean hasPermissions(Context context, String... permissions)
{
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M && context != null && permissions != null)
{
for (String permission : permissions)
{
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, permission) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
{
return false;
}
}
}
return true;
}
and write this in your Main
int PERMISSION_ALL = 1;
String[] PERMISSIONS = {Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.READ_SMS, Manifest.permission.CAMERA};
if (!hasPermissions(this, PERMISSIONS)) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, PERMISSIONS, PERMISSION_ALL);
}

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:)

As per current versions, Android doesn't ask for permission to interact with the internet but you can add the below code which will help for users using older versions Just add these in AndroidManifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
