I am integrating payUmoney with my app. For android above 9 cleartextTrafficPermitted="false" by default. So I get the following error -

The webpage at hhtp://180.179.174.15:3000/pgSimulator/axis/redirect could not be loaded because: net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED

So in network_secrity_config.xml, I change it to true as below--

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
    <base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true"/>
</network-security-config>

And now Android studio shows

     Setting  <base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true"/> is not recommended.

Now is it safe to set it to false? If I don't set it to false. PayUmoney does not work. So what to do now?

  • You have to add your domain, Check my answer – Md. Asaduzzaman Nov 17 '19 at 06:44
  • Does this answer your question? [How to allow all Network connection types HTTP and HTTPS in Android (9) Pie?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51902629/how-to-allow-all-network-connection-types-http-and-https-in-android-9-pie) – alireza daryani Nov 17 '19 at 06:47
  • Just register a host-name & install an SSL certificate, in order to fix this properly... else you are running a payment gateway with plain-text traffic, which is extremely stupid (unless this is only for testing purposes). – Martin Zeitler Nov 17 '19 at 07:06

Either use

<application
    ...
    android:usesCleartextTraffic="true">
    ....
</application>

Or set config like below with domain:

<network-security-config>
  <domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
    <domain includeSubdomains="true">Your_domain</domain>
  </domain-config>
</network-security-config>

  • What is "Your_domain" here? I am using Firebase realtime database for my android app. I don't have any domain. – user10089226 Nov 17 '19 at 06:52
  • Then just use `android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"`. No need about config – Md. Asaduzzaman Nov 17 '19 at 06:55
  • And from your log, probably this is your domain. `http://180.179.174.15:3000` – Md. Asaduzzaman Nov 17 '19 at 06:57
  • I am sorry to say that putting android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"> in Manifest does not work. It gives me this error- Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@usesCleartextTraffic value=(true) from AndroidManifest.xml:20:9-44 is also present at [com.payu.custombrowser:payu-custom-browser:7.5.1] AndroidManifest.xml:17:18-54 value=(false). Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:usesCleartextTraffic"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:11:5-38:19 to override. – user10089226 Nov 17 '19 at 09:08
  • Also Your_domain does not work – user10089226 Nov 17 '19 at 09:08
  • For the first problem use `tools:replace="android:usesCleartextTraffic"` in your application tag with `android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"` – Md. Asaduzzaman Nov 17 '19 at 09:12
  • I am sorry to say again that it is not working. I am so thankful for what you did. – user10089226 Nov 17 '19 at 09:39
