Permission is only granted to system app

I have a System app that uses system permissions and I have those permissions listed in the manifest. Eclipse gives the following error when I try to make a build(command line build works):

Permission is only granted to system apps

I'm already aware that my app requires system permissions and it is not a problem for me because my application will be used only on rooted phones. So I want to suppress this error, anyone knows how?

EDIT
My project already compiles fine on command line, installs, runs etc.. My problem is about eclipse giving an error for a legit manifest file.

In Eclipse:

Window -> Preferences -> Android -> Lint Error Checking.

In the list find an entry with ID = ProtectedPermission. Set the Severity to something lower than Error. This way you can still compile the project using Eclipse.

In Android Studio:

File -> Settings -> Editor -> Inspections

Under Android Lint, locate Using system app permission. Either uncheck the checkbox or choose a Severity lower than Error.

Have same error from time to time (when I set install location to "prefer external" in manifest). Just clean and rebuild project. Works for me.

when your add permission in manifest then in eclipse go to project and clic

  1. click on project
  2. click on clean project that's all

k on clean project

Preferences --> EditorEditor --> Inspections --> Android Lint --> uncheck item Using System app permissio

To ignore this error for one instance only, add the tools:ignore="ProtectedPermissions" attribute to your permission declaration. Here is an example:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE"
tools:ignore="ProtectedPermissions" />

You have to add tools namespace in the manifest root element

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:ignore="ProtectedPermissions"

Try adding this attribute to that permission.

Path In Android Studio in mac:

Android Studio -> Preferences -> Editor -> Inspections

Expand Android -> Expand Lint -> Expand Correctness

Uncheck the checkbox for Using system app permission

Click on "APPLY" -> "OK"
