Please help me by guiding me about what I have done wrong

EDIT :

The permissions in my manifest are :

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />
    <!-- <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES"/> -->
    <application android:icon="@drawable/biz_logo"
        android:permission="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS">

After this also it is behaving same

Answer 1

Looks like you need to add the permission

android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS

to your manifest file.
