public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

EditText mEditText;
TextView mTextView;
String api="http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather? 
q=kolkata&appid=e8cd0e5f8d3ba1e87d108da87d9c0a94";

            while (data!=-1)
            {
                char current=(char)data;
                result+=current;
                data=reader.read();
            }

        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

As show in screenshot:

before error log

Access denied finding property "persist.vendor.log.tel_dbg"

there is another warning:

type=1400 audit(xxx): avc: denied { read } for xxx

which is the reason for above error Access denied finding property

Example to show the root cause of Access denied finding property

I encount similar error:

com.gsma.rcs W/com.gsma.rcs: type=1400 audit(0.0:526384): avc: denied { read } for name="u:object_r:vendor_displayfeature_prop:s0" dev="tmpfs" ino=16384 scontext=u:r:untrusted_app_25:s0:c512,c768 tcontext=u:object_r:vendor_displayfeature_prop:s0 tclass=file permissive=0

Exapnation:

• Action：read
• Actor=scontext=source context：untrusted_app_25
• Object=tcontext=target context：vendor_displayfeature_prop
  • Note：
    • corresponding later: ro.vendor.df.effect.conflict
    • object_r=object read ？
• Result=tclass=target class：file
• permissive=permissive mode：0
  • 0 permissive：not allow = denied
  • background：
    • selinux has two mode:
      • permissive mode
      • enforcing mode
    • during Android device booting, you can use kernel parameter to config mode:
      • androidboot.selinux=permissive
      • or
      • androidboot.selinux=enforcing

Translate to human readable words:

the untrusted_app_25 want to read the vendor_displayfeature_prop, which type is file but due to NOT permissive mode, Android SELinux denied (according to OEM built-in configuration of SELinux)

which cause the following output error log:

com.gsma.rcs E/libc: Access denied finding property "ro.vendor.df.effect.conflict"

How to fix avc: denied error ?

refer official doc:

Validating SELinux | Android Open Source Project

use audit2allow maybe can fix it.
