Android studio Gradle icon error, Manifest Merger

Question

It seems to be the fault of the mainfest Merger tool for gradle.

http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide/manifest-merger

Solved it by adding to my manifest tag xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

Then added tools:replace="android:icon,android:theme" to the application tag

This tells the merger to use my manifest icon and theme and not of other libraries

Hope it helps thanks

I have same issue , I fix it like this by adding xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" to the top of mainfest file , and add tools:replace="android:icon" to be look like

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"  // add tools line here 
    package="yourpackage">


    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
        tools:replace="android:icon"> ///add this line 

.....

</application>

</manifest>

i have same error , just this code solve my problem , i want to share with you :

in Manifest.xml :

• add this code in top of your xml file :

  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

• Then added :

  tools:replace="android:icon,android:theme,android:label,android:name" to the application tag

The answer of shimi_tap is enough. What to be remembered is that choosing only what you need. Choose from {icon, name, theme, label}. I added tools:replace="android:icon,android:theme", it does not work. I added tools:replace="android:icon,android:theme,android:label,android:name", it does not work. It works when I added tools:replace="android:icon,android:theme,android:label". So find out what the conflict exactly is in your manifest files.

Just add xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" to your manifest tag, and then you need to add tools:replace="android:icon" before android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher".

This error also occurs when your app's minSdk is higher than any library's minSdk.

app's minSdk >= libraries minSdk

GOT THE SOLUTION AFTER ALOT OF TIME GOOGLING

just get your ic_launcher and paste it in your drawables folder,

Go to your manifest and change android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"

Clean your project and rebuild

Hope it helps you
