Reading (and writing) contacts is in dangerous permissions list so to access that you have to ask for permission during runtime. It is not enough to add these lines on your manifest file. To know how to ask for permission during runtime, read here: https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html
You can read more about dangerous permissions here: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/permissions/requesting.html
If it won't work please post your AndroidManifest.xml and some code which reads the contacts so we can get better understanding about your problem.
