I am using a gradle project with many different library dependencies and using the new manifest merger. In my <application />
tag I have it set up as such:
<application tools:replace="android:icon, android:label, android:theme, android:name"
android:name="com.example.myapp.MyApplcation"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/application_name"
android:logo="@drawable/logo_ab"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
>
....
</application>
Yet I am receiving the error:
/android/MyApp/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:29:9 Error:
Attribute application@icon value=(@drawable/ic_launcher) from AndroidManifest.xml:29:9
is also present at {Library Name} value=(@drawable/app_icon)
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:icon"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:26:5 to override
/android/MyApp/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:30:9 Error:
Attribute application@label value=(@string/application_name) from AndroidManifest.xml:30:9
is also present at {Library Name} value=(@string/app_name)
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:label"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:26:5 to override
/android/MyApp/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:27:9 Error:
Attribute application@name value=(com.example.myapp.MyApplication) from AndroidManifest.xml:27:9
is also present at {Another Library}
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:name"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:26:5 to override
/android/MyApp/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:32:9 Error:
Attribute application@theme value=(@style/AppTheme) from AndroidManifest.xml:32:9
is also present at {Library Name} value=(@style/AppTheme)
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:theme"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:26:5 to override
Declare your manifest header like this
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.yourpackage"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
Then you can add to your application tag the following attribute:
<application
tools:replace="icon, label" ../>
For example I need to replace icon and label. Good luck!
