Problems with AndroidManifest when trying to run PhoneGap APP

), Im trying to run my first PhoneGap APP and I followed the steps on this page:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/html5/articles/getting-started-with-phonegap-in-eclipse-for-android.html
It seems I did all the stuff OK, but when I try to run as Android App on eclipse I get the following error:
[2013-01-21 13:13:02 - com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.internal.project.AndroidManifestHelper] Parser exception for C:\Users\Inaki\workspace\AppPrueba\AndroidManifest.xml: El tipo de elemento "manifest" debe ir seguido de una de estas especificaciones de atributo: ">" o "/>".
[2013-01-21 13:13:02 - AppPrueba] Error in an XML file: aborting build.
It's in Spanish, so translated basically says that "manifest" must be followed by ">" or "/>". I did the manifest modifications specified on the tutorial, I guess since I don't know about XML I must have mess up something. Here is my manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

package="com.example.appprueba"

supports-screens should be part of a manifest content and not act as a some kind of manifest attribute.

For me it was due to the Huawei libraries not being updated.
Take a look at here: After updating Gradle to 7.0.2, Element type “manifest” must be followed by either attribute specifications, “>” or “/>” error

Please help...

Tablet are xlarge screen in most case, you have to add android:xlargeScreens="true" to the supports-screens. Also, you have to provide xlarge layout and xhdpi resources if needed.

LocalNotification Plugin doesn't work on Android

I'm learning PhoneGap and I tried to use the Notification Local Plugin, but does not work for me.
I'm trying to build my app, but it is returning error in XML AndroidManifest.xml. I followed all instructions in the README on GitHub.
I am using cordova-2.0.0 and API10.
Someone can help me?
Note: I changed LocalNotification.java:
//alarm = new AlarmHelper(this.ctx);
alarm = new AlarmHelper(ctx.getContext());

I'm using Phonegap 1.3.0 and jquerymobile.
My test device is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 with HC v3.2.
I've read ALMOST every forum with the same issue. It still fails when i rotate the screen.
There's a warning right after the app crashes in debug mode: webcore: Can't get the veiwWidth after the first layout.

In your case the attribute android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden" should go to the first <activity> tag and not the <application> tag.
For the other people having similar issues simply add screenSize to android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" or change the android:minSdkVersion attribute to 12 or lower.
A more detailed explanation of this behavior can be found here: http://groups.google.com/group/phonegap/msg/c771fffc4dd9daaf

Here's my solution
Add "screenSize" to the android:configChanges in each Activity tag (within the AnroidManifest.xml).
Like this:
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden"
It solved my problem.

Phonegap Android app - not reading cookie on WIFI?

I have built a Android HTML5 app using Phonegap which uses an iframe to process payments via system on a partner companies server.
The system drops a cookie with an inbox code on the phone which means that once the user has register once - the system uses the cookie to save them re-registering - all worked fine until time for launch and now it will only work on wifi and not on 3G!?
This has all previously worked - so it doesn't make any logical sense to me! I wondered whether it could be due to a permission change in my manifest file? (which is below)
Does anybody have any ideas at all?
