android local permission Androidmanifest SMS READ

Configuration:

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?

Error:

Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: reading com.android.providers.telephony.SmsProvider uri content://sms/inbox from pid=1900, uid=10058 requires android.permission.READ_SMS, or grantUriPermission()

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>

Just update here -if you want to use READ_SMS permission then you request Google with declaration why your app needs this permission, then they give access to your app. read this support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9214102
