I am very new to Android Studio, and trying to import a fairly old project from Eclipse into Android Studio. I am getting the dreaded error:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.
Manifest merger failed with multiple errors, see logs
I have tried a number of the highly rated solutions already with no luck. But my actual question is: Where are these damned log files?!
I can't troubleshoot more deeply or ask a more detailed question until I find and inspect the log files, which Android Studio seems to have hidden completely out of view.

Inspect the merged manifest and find conflicts Even before you build your app, you can see a preview of what your merged manifest looks by opening your AndroidManifest. xml file in Android Studio, and then clicking the Merged Manifest tab at the bottom of the editor.
The file is located at WorkspaceName>/temp/<AppName>/build/luaandroid/dist. The manifest file provides essential information about your app to the Android operating system, and Google Play store. The Android manifest file helps to declare the permissions that an app must have to access data from other apps.
You can check the merged Manifest file preview in Android Studio by navigating to AndroidManifest. xml file and then Merged Manifest Viewer at the bottom of the editor.
The initial process would be to open the manifest application known as the AndroidManifest. xml and then click on the Merged Manifest tab below your edit pane. Following which, Click on the merged manifest option. An Error would be visible at the right column and then one must try to solve the error.
While this is not quite the answer to your question: In Android Studio, load the app's AndroidManifest.xml file, then click on "Merged Manifest" at the bottom. Studio will show a split view, which on the right includes recommendations for how to fix the problems. The fixes are clickable (like so much in Android Studio... except the hard-to-find things). When I encountered this problem a few minutes ago, clicking on them automatically applied them, and all the problems magically went away.
See this Android Developer page for this and more information.
