when I try to run a program from a tutorial I recently found for a music player on the android studios emulator,nexus 5 api23, I get an error. The error is:

Not sure what exactly is happening when I run the program that is causing the exception. The main.xml file is:

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"


    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_shuffle"
        android:icon="@drawable/rand"
        android:orderInCategory="1"
        android:showAsAction="always"
        android:title="Shuffle"/>
    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_end"
        android:icon="@drawable/end"
        android:orderInCategory="2"
        android:showAsAction="always"
        android:title="End"/>
</menu>

I think the problem is with the lines android:showAsAction="always" but when I try to change androidto app and add xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"> I still have the same problem with main

the tutorial is Here thank you

Your problem is here:

 Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: reading com.android.providers.media.MediaProvider uri content://media/external/audio/media from pid=2937, uid=10066 requires android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, or grantUriPermission()

Your app must request permission to access files, try adding this to your app manifest:

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