You have to use both Network and Access Network State in manifest file while you are trying load or access to the internet through android emulator.

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

If you are giving only .INTERNET permission, it won't access to the internet.

That may be also interesting in context of adding INTERNET permission to your application      Google has also given each app Internet access  effectively removing the Internet access permission  Oh  sure  Android developers still have to declare they want Internet access when putting together the app  But users can no longer see the Internet access permission when installing an app and current apps that don   t have Internet access can now gain Internet access with an automatic update without prompting you    Source  http   www howtogeek com 190863 androids-app-permissions-were-just-simplified-now-theyre-much-less-secure   Bottom line is that you still have to add INTERNET permission in manifest file but application will be updated on user s devices without asking them for new permission

If you are using the Eclipse ADT plugin for your development  open AndroidManifest xml in the Android Manifest Editor  should be the default action for opening AndroidManifest xml from the project files list    Afterwards  select the Permissions tab along the bottom of the editor  Manifest - Application - Permissions - Instrumentation - AndroidManifest xml   then click Add    a Uses Permission and select the desired permission from the dropdown on the right  or just copy-paste in the necessary one  such as the android permission INTERNET permission you required

Copy the following line to your application manifest file and paste before the  lt application gt   tag     lt uses-permission android name  android permission INTERNET   gt    Placing the permission below the  lt application  gt  tag will work  but will give you warning  So take care to place it before the  lt application  gt  tag declaration

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    lt manifest xlmns android    gt         lt uses-permission android name  android permission INTERNET    gt    lt application      lt  manifest gt    Other than that  you should be fine to download a file from the internet

Permission name is CASE-SENSITIVE In case somebody will struggle with same issue  it is case sensitive statement  so wrong case means your application won t get the permission  WRONG  lt uses-permission android name  quot ANDROID PERMISSION INTERNET quot    gt   CORRECT  lt uses-permission android name  quot android permission INTERNET quot    gt   This issue may happen ie  on autocomplete in IDE

I am late but i want to complete the answer   An permission is added in manifest xml like    lt uses-permission android name  android permission INTERNET   gt    This is enough for standard permissions where no permission is prompted to the user  However  it is not enough to add permission only to manifest if it is a dangerous permission  See android doc  Like Camera  Storage permissions    lt uses-permission android name  android permission CAMERA   gt    You will need to ask permission from user  I use RxPermission library that is widely used library for asking permission  Because it is long code which we have to write to ask permission   RxPermissions rxPermissions   new RxPermissions this      where this is an Activity instance    Must be done during an initialization phase like onCreate rxPermissions      request Manifest permission CAMERA       subscribe granted - gt            if  granted       Always true pre-M               I can control the camera now           else                 Oups permission denied                     Add this library to your app   allprojects       repositories                       maven   url  https   jitpack io             dependencies       implementation  com github tbruyelle rxpermissions 0 10 1      implementation  com jakewharton rxbinding2 rxbinding 2 1 1
