Android Permissions Denial

I am trying to read data from Google Play Music Database using ContentProvider. I have included the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission within my Manifest file but, at crash, the logcat shows that the permission is not provided. Do I need to use the "Requesting Permission at runtime". If yes, how?
Error message:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.app.ryanbansal.mymusic/com.app.ryanbansal.mymusic.Requested}: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: reading com.android.providers.media.MediaProvider uri content://media/external/audio/albums from pid=11192, uid=10240 requires android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, or grantUriPermission()

I would comment, but not enough reputation yet, but here is the documentation on runtime permissions for api 23 plus. Supplementary reponse building on #Tharkius comment:
https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html

There's a very cool easy-to-use library for managing runtime permissions. Follow the documentation in that link, all you need to know is there, and you'll see how super easy it is to set up and use :D

Permissions don't work and are not asked when i install the program

We wrote all permission codes between suitable tags. But when i install the program there is no ask about permissions.
Where is my fault?
this my manifest.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.berker.notkayit">
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="21"
android:targetSdkVersion="24" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_INTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_INTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

Writing permissions in Manifest file won't ask permissions on runtime. In order to show permissions, you need to write code in your application instances. Refer this link https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html

are u testing the app in marshmallow or above device means it won't ask for permission during installation but it will permission during run time have u added the runtime permission codes

It dependences on your devices, if you device Android version is below 6.0, then you way is ok, however, if you device version is 6.0 and above then you need add runtime permission, check this link https://github.com/googlesamples/easypermissions

Android Permission: App crashes needing bluetooth permission

I was recently creating an app that uses bluetooth. The problem is my app crashes when ever I start the bluetooth service. Here's my manifest file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="in.petalappstudio.fit" >
<uses-permission android:name="ANDROID.PERMISSION.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-permission android:name="ANDROID.PERMISSION.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<service
android:name=".bluetoothManager"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true">
</service>
</application>
Now as you can see I have added permission for bluetooth and bluetooth admin.
How ever my app crashes and in LOGCAT the error is
"java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start service " and is caused by
"java.lang.SecurityException: Need BLUETOOTH ADMIN permission: Neither user 10145 nor current process has android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN."
But I have added permission as you can see. Now why is this happening ?

Try to add one more permission :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
Refe. : Android Permission BLUETOOTH Manifest error
Note : also check device support Bluetooth feature or not using :
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.bluetooth" android:required="true" />

I am a newbie to Android application development... When i try to run my application i am getting a security exception as Permission Denial... though i am able to open my application i am unable to proceed to any of the process... Application doesn't access the web service... Plz help me out...
The following is the exception message I receive,
[2012-01-11 11:02:09 - eCalc] ActivityManager: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x10000000 cmp=com.anb.eCalculator/.LoginActivity } from null (pid=-1, uid=-1) requires android.permission.INTERNET

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
Add this above line in your manifest file after your <uses-sdk> line.

Add this permission to your manifest file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

I fixed it .
Click on "Run" and "Edit configuration". Select the activity you want to launch.
