I am using Android Studio to build the Blog Reader project instead of Eclipse, and in this video Ben goes to AndroidManifest.xml, then opens the permissions tab. However, there does not seem to be an equivalent to this tab in Android Studio. How do I ask permission?

Here is an example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="dylan.blog_reader_app" >
uses permission goes here
<application
You can find out more about the permissions in the link below. https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro.html#perms
I hope this helps, Dylan. Good luck with the rest of this project and happy coding!
