Android 9 - needs new permission for WLAN based hosts

[telebrett]

After upgrading to Android 9, the WLANbased host connection doesn't work.

The app needs to request a new permission. See https://developer.android.com/about/versions/pie/android-9.0-changes-all

Breaking changes for apps that target a lower sdk are just great

I'm sorry but MPDroid is no longer maintained. You should be able to easily grant those permissions using adb or patching the code.

I may do something, but I don't have any 9.0 hardware to test on: my Nexus 5x has been dropped by google

Thanks, I'll see if I can develop a patch and build myself

It's not possible to grant ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION using adb because the application hasn't requested those permissions.

i install it from gplay, but still not working on android 9. is that the bugfixed version, or how? can u help?

Sorry, this project is not maintained anymore

The dev branch is unreleased but master is really hard to get working in a current android studio. Crashes at launch for some reason

Check out the pull request, you can probably compile from it
