I created an application which enables Bluetooth and discovers other devices.
In manifest I have the following:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>

However,on the device there is this exception:

11-20 08:08:47.766: E/AndroidRuntime(9380): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
11-20 08:08:47.766: E/AndroidRuntime(9380): java.lang.SecurityException: Need BLUETOOTH permission: Neither user 10111 nor current process has android.permission.BLUETOOTH.

what else do i have to add to the Manifest so that it works?

This is the manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="cajun.meet"
  android:versionCode="1"
  android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">

    <activity android:name=".CajunMeetActivity"
              android:label="@string/app_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

    <activity android:name=".MyULCard"
              android:label="@string/app_name">

    <activity android:name=".MyULContacts"
              android:label="@string/app_name">

    </service>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>

</application>
</manifest>

    Try moving the permission outside the <application> tag. Like below:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="cajun.meet"
  android:versionCode="1"
  android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">

    <activity android:name=".CajunMeetActivity"
              android:label="@string/app_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

    <activity android:name=".MyULCard"
              android:label="@string/app_name">
    </activity>

    <activity android:name=".MyULContacts"
              android:label="@string/app_name">
    </activity>

    <service android:name = ".BluetoothExchange" android:exported="true" android:enabled="true">
    </service>

</application>
</manifest>
