Assuming you do not have permissions set from your LogCat error description, here is my contents for my AndroidManifest.xml file that has access to the internet:

<manifest xlmns:android...> ... <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <application ...</manifest>

Other than that, you should be fine to download a file from the internet.

Permission name is CASE-SENSITIVE

In case somebody will struggle with same issue, it is case sensitive statement, so wrong case means your application won't get the permission.

WRONG

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

CORRECT

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

This issue may happen ie. on autocomplete in IDE
