Selecting a contact and retrieveing phone number

I'm trying to get a code working to select a contact and retrieve the phone number. I found a piece of code which works great on the Emulator (android version 2.3.3) and on my brother's phone (Jelly bean) but not my on own device (android 2.3.4)

Here's the code: To go to contacts

    public void onClick(View arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
         Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
         intent.setType(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
         startActivityForResult(intent, 1);      
    }

When coming back from contacts:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

    if (data != null) {
        Uri uri = data.getData();

        if (uri != null) {
            Cursor c = null;
            try {
                c = getContentResolver().query(uri, new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER},
                        null, null, null);

                if (c != null && c.moveToFirst()) {
                    String number = c.getString(0);
                    //int type = c.getInt(1);
                    showSelectedNumber(0, number);
                }
            } finally {
                if (c != null) {
                    c.close();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

public void showSelectedNumber(int type, String number) {
    Toast.makeText(this,number, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();      
}

Again, this works on the emulator (android 2.3.4) and on Jelly bean but not on my device (android 2.3.5)

This is what comes out from the log:

According to the error message:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who=null, request=1, result=-1, data=Intent { dat=content://com.android.contacts/data/2848 (has extras) }} to activity {com.example.omer/com.example.omer.SmsInfo}: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: reading com.android.providers.contacts.HtcContactsProvider2 uri content://com.android.contacts/data/2848 from pid=5075, uid=10125 requires android.permission.READ_CONTACTS

You need to add the permission android.permission.READ_CONTACTS
