SocketException: EACCESS (permission denied)

I am trying to create a socket in Android but I keep getting EACCESS (Permission denied) errors.

Here is my code on a separate thread from the UI thread.

public class Client implements Runnable {
    private final static String SERVER_ADDRESS = "173.246.12.125";

    @Override
    public void run() {
        try {
            InetAddress serverAddr = InetAddress.getByName(SERVER_ADDRESS);
            DatagramSocket socket = new DatagramSocket();
            ...

      

        
        
        
      

    

My android permissions include:

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

      

        
        
        
      

    

and just because of some stackoverflow answers I added this as well:

    <permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

      

        
        
        
      

    

but I still cannot create the socket.

What am I missing? Error output:
