Android - FATAL EXCEPTION: main java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo

Question

I try to get the phone number of my device, get the following error:

FATAL EXCEPTION:

main

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.dell.myapplication/com.example.dell.myapplication.MainActivity}: java.lang.SecurityException: Requires READ_PHONE_STATE: Neither user 10035 nor current process has android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE.

I am a new at android development. I have looked at the errors that have been generated by LogCat but do not know the problem and where to find it based on the errors I received.

Thanks for your help and sorry for the duration!

here is my code:

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    public MainActivity() {
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        TelephonyManager tm=(TelephonyManager)getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
        String imei = tm.getDeviceId();
        String phone = tm.getLine1Number();
        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "my IMEI: "+imei, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"my phone: "+phone,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
//        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
//            return true;
//        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

Add READ_PHONE_STATE permission

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

in your manifest file

READ_PHONE_STATE

Allows read only access to phone state.

Note: If both your minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion values are set to 3 or lower, the system implicitly grants your app this permission. If you don't need this permission, be sure your targetSdkVersion is 4 or higher.

Protection level: dangerous Constant Value: "android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"

in your manifest, you need to add followong permission in order to read phone number:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

In your logCat, system tells the you the reason of the error with this line:

Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Requires READ_PHONE_STATE: Neither user 10035 nor current process has android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE.

I have this problem and figure out that you need to add READ_PHONE_NUMBERS if your targetSdkVersion is 31

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_NUMBERS" />

You need to request that permission explicitly also
