Permission Denial when trying to access contacts in Android

Question

I am trying to access the contacts on the device and later display them in a list, however when I try to access them with a cursor, I get an error that I'm missing permissions for READ_CONTACTS but I have already gave permissions in my AndroidManifest.xml

Code where I access Contacts:

public void setupCursor() {
    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);

    while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
        String name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
        String number = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
        Toast.makeText(this, name + ": " + number, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
    cursor.close();
}

AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="io.github.brady131313.textback" >

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" android:targetSdkVersion="21"/>

<uses-permission android:name="ANDROID.PERMISSION.READ_CONTACTS"/>

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name=".ActivityMainSettings"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

    <activity
        android:name=".ActivityContactSelect"
        android:label="Select Contacts">
    </activity>

</application>


</manifest>

Answer 1

Add the uses-permission outside the application tag and make the android.permission lowercase. that should fix it as agreed below in comments
