[vmgunda]

Configuration:

Studio 1.3
API 23
I am learning Android and started working on SMS read a simple project. i have added the permissions in the SMS_READ in the AndroidManifest.xml. Still when run emulator it throwing error permission denial for SMS_READ. I am not sure that emulator problem or API 23 level permission change?. I have not tried in real phone device but tried in emulator

Error:

Here is the manifest xml

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.gunda.mysmsreadapp" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@Mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@String/app_name"
android:theme="@Style/AppTheme" >
android:exported="true"

<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@String/app_name" >

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<!--<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.READ_SMS" />-->
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

</manifest>

Code:
Uri uriSms =Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uriSms,newString[

Hi,

Using API 23 on an emulator running Android M, the new permissions policy apply : you have to call the requestPermissions method (from Activity) for every permission that exposes user personnal data. (that will prompt the user to allow the requested pemission at runtime). Note that the user can refuse to grant the permission, so you have to manage this case.

See https://developer.android.com/preview/features/runtime-permissions.html for further details.

Cheers,
