Facing error during Merging manifest file in android studio - android

I added PAYTM SDK in my project and now I am facing a problem with merging manifest file since the library has its own manifest file.
So I am getting
> Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.
> Manifest merger failed : Attribute application#icon value=(#mipmap/logo) from AndroidManifest.xml:19:9-42
is also present at [com.paytm.pgsdk:pgsdk:1.0.6] AndroidManifest.xml:12:9-45 value=(#drawable/ic_launcher).
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:icon"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:16:5-178:19 to override.
But after adding tools:replace="android:icon" in my application tag, my app has crashed at runtime by the following exception.
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a
Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.
Here is my manifest file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="com.example.demo">
<application
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"
android:allowBackup="true"
tools:replace="android:icon"
android:icon="#mipmap/login_logo"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:largeHeap="true"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
.
.
.
</application>


Just remove icon="#mipmap/login_logo" and theme="#style/AppTheme" from your Application Manifest and replace drawable ic_launcher in PayTM SDK with your app logo and that would do it.
Application will merge both manifests and you will get your desired theme and logo will be fetched from PayTM's manifest hence you would have replaced their ic_launcher with yours.


Finally, I have solved that theme issue by removing conflicting AppTheme's style from SDK.

android manifest merger cannot merge three manifest files

i have 2 versions of AndroidManifest.xml files in my project, one is the main and another for debug.
in both of them i have android:label and in the debug version i have tools:replace="label"
after adding a library through gradle i suddenly see:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processMobileDebugManifest'.
Manifest merger failed : Attribute application#label value=(XXXX Debug) from AndroidManifest.xml:36:13-45
is also present at [library_name] AndroidManifest.xml:13:9-41 value=(#string/app_name).
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:label"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:7:5-20:19 to override.
it already exists there! what am i doing wrong?
Edit1:
main xml:
<application
android:name="[package_name]"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
debug xml:
<application
tools:replace="name, label"
android:name="[package_name]"
android:label="[debug_name]">
third party library xml:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >

I found out that the label should have the same value like all others.
Meaning that tools:replace works only if all labels looks like this:
android:label="#string/app_name"
In my case it didn't work because in the debug manifest it looked like this:
android:label="debug name"
But once i changed it to android:label="#string/app_name" and added string in the debug/values dir it started working correctly.
Seems like a bug in Android Studio.

Unable to use android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher" in Manifest after play services 7.5.0

I have recently update play services using dependencies
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.5.0'
My app icon launcher is in #mipmap/ic_launcher" but this is showing error in AndroidManifest.xml.
Should i again place this icon in drawable or else ?
Help me to find out the solution.
UPDATE: Here is Messages from Android studio

Manifest Merger tools:replace failure

I am using a library which uses its own android:theme, and therefore I receive the following error while building:
Error:(55, 9) Execution failed for task ':contacit:processDebugManifest'.
Manifest merger failed : Attribute application#theme value=(#style/Theme.MainTheme) from AndroidManifest.xml:55:9
is also present at com.github.florent37:materialviewpager:1.0.3.2:11:18 value=(#style/AppTheme)
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:theme"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:49:5 to override
I've modified my app's AndroidManifest.xml as follows:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="com.example.main"
android:versionCode="19"
android:versionName="2.5" >
...
<application
android:name="com.example.application.MainApplication"
tools:replace="android:theme"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/logo_icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/Theme.MainTheme"
>
...
However, even though I have used the tools:replace attribute, I am still getting the same error from the Manifest merger. Any ideas why?

Remove tools:replace and add tools:node="replace" to application tag. It works for me.

Tools: replace not replacing in Android manifest

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)

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.

I fixed same issue. Solution for me:
add the xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" line in the manifest tag
add tools:replace=.. in the manifest tag
move android:label=... in the manifest tag
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:replace="allowBackup, label"
android:allowBackup="false"
android:label="#string/all_app_name"/>

Try reordering your dependencies in your gradle file. I had to move the offending library from the bottom of the list to the top, and then it worked.

I just experienced the same behavior of tools:replace=... as described by the OP.
It turned out that the root cause for tools:replace being ignored by the manifest merger is a bug described here. It basically means that if you have a library in your project that contains a manifest with an <application ...> node containing a tools:ignore=... attribute, it can happen that the tools:replace=... attribute in the manifest of your main module will be ignored.
The tricky point here is that it can happen, but does not have to. In my case I had two libraries, library A with the tools:ignore=... attribute, library B with the attributes to be replaced in the respective manifests and the tools:replace=... attribute in the manifest of the main module. If the manifest of B was merged into the main manifest before the manifest of A everything worked as expected. In opposite merge order the error appeared.
The order in which these merges happen seems to be somewhat random. In my case changing the order in the dependencies section of build.gradle had no effect but changing the name of the flavor did it.
So, the only reliable workaround seems to be to unpack the problem causing library, remove the tools:ignore=... tag (which should be no problem as it is a hint for lint only) and pack the library again.
And vote for the bug to be fixed, of cause.

Final Working Solution for me (Highlighted the tages in the sample code):
add the xmlns:tools line in the manifest tag
add tools:replace in the application tag
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="pagination.yoga.com.tamiltv"
**xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"**
>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
**tools:replace="android:icon,android:theme"**
>

The missing piece for me was this:
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
for example:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="com.your.appid">

You can replace those in your Manifest application tag:
<application
tools:replace="android:icon, android:label, android:theme, android:name,android:allowBackup"
android:allowBackup="false"...>
and will work for you.

The following hack works:
add the xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" line in the
manifest tag
add
tools:replace="android:icon,android:theme,android:allowBackup,label"
in the application tag

tools:replace="android:supportsRtl,android:allowBackup,icon,label">

FIXED IT
HAD THE EXACT ERROR, Just add this tools:replace="android:icon,android:theme"
into your application tag in your manifest,
it works just fine,

You can replace those in your Manifest application tag:
<application
...
tools:replace="android:label, android:icon, android:theme"/>
and will work for you.
Explanation
Using such a dependency/library in your gradle file which has those labels in its Manifest's application tag may produce this problem and replacing them in your Manifest is the solution.

My problem is multi modules project with base module, app module and feature module.
Each module has AndroidManifest of its own, and I implemented build variant for debug and main.
So we must sure that "android:name" just declared in Manifest of debug and main only, and do not set it in any of Manifest in child module.
Ex:
Manifest in main:
<application
android:name=".App"/>
Manifest in debug:
<application
tools:replace="android:name"
android:name=".DebugApp"
/>
Do not set "android:name" in other Manifest files like this:
<application android:name=".App">
Just define in feature module like this and it will merged fine
<application>

I also went through this problem and changed that:
<application android:debuggable="true" android:icon="#drawable/app_icon" android:label="#string/app_name" android:supportsRtl="true" android:allowBackup="false" android:fullBackupOnly="false" android:theme="#style/UnityThemeSelector">
to
<application tools:replace="android:allowBackup" android:debuggable="true" android:icon="#drawable/app_icon" android:label="#string/app_name" android:supportsRtl="true" android:allowBackup="false" android:fullBackupOnly="false" android:theme="#style/UnityThemeSelector">

I was receiving a similar error on a project I was importing:
Multiple entries with same key: android:icon=REPLACE and
tools:icon=REPLACE
Fixed after changing the below line within the application tag:
tools:replace="icon, label, theme"
to
tools:replace="android:icon, android:label, android:theme"

This is new androidManifest.xml for flutter
<application
android:label="Your app Name"
tools:replace="android:label"
android:name="io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication"
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config"
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher">
please make to add android:label in the first line in <application, 'cause if you are using this package flutter_app_name will throw an error if the not sorted like example Above

Manifest merger failed when trying to add my own logo to android app - Android Studio

I tried to add my own icon to my app in Android Studio and I encountered a Manifest merger fail. I fount an identical question here but his answer is not working for me. I tried adding tools:replace="android:icon" and tools:replace="android:icon,android:theme" (on 2 separate occasions of course) but no change.
This is the error Android Studio is keep giving me.
Error:(12, 9) Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.
> Manifest merger failed : Attribute application#icon value=(#drawable/footynews_logo_new) from AndroidManifest.xml:12:9
is also present at com.arasthel:gnavdrawer-library:1.1.4:4:45 value=(#drawable/ic_launcher)
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:icon"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:9:5 to override
Error:(12, 9) Attribute application#icon value=(#drawable/footynews_logo_new) from AndroidManifest.xml:12:9
EDIT : I just found out even though I thought the app was using the ic_launcher in my project directory, it is actually using the ic_launcher in one of the libraries I'm using. How do I force the app to use my launcher icon instead?

tools:replace="android:icon,android:theme"
should work. Hope you added
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
If this is not working you have another option. Use the old manifest merger. Add this in your build.gradle file
android { useOldManifestMerger true }
You can find more information here.

Add two line in manifest file :
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="..."
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"> <!--Add this line-->
<application
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
tools:replace="icon, label"/> <!--Add this line-->
</manifest>
