I am trying to understand the purpose of the Merged Manifest in the Android Studio. Which kind of Information, I can encode exploring this file. Can any one please share their views. Thanks in Advance.
Try adding the following labels to resolve the issue: Add the xmlns:tools line in the manifest tag. Add tools:replace= or tools:ignore= in the application tag.
Just open your APK and in treeview select "AndroidManifest. xml". It will be readable just like that.
The exported attribute is used to define if an activity, service, or receiver in your app is accessible and can be launched from an external application. As a practical example, if you try to share a file you'll see a set of applications available.
Your APK file can contain just one AndroidManifest.xml
file, but your Android Studio project may contain several—provided by the main source set, build variants, and imported libraries. So when building your app, the Gradle build merges all manifest files into a single manifest file that's packaged into your APK.
The manifest merger tool combines all XML elements from each file by following some merge heuristics and by obeying merge preferences that you have defined with special XML attributes.
I have included the summary about the merger manifest.
