Description

« Hide

The manifest "AndroidManifest.xml" gets overwritten by default values now and then. For example when I use NetBeans' refactoring functionality. I realized it also when I restarted the IDE. Values like "android:label" or "android:name" are dropped out.

Vote for this. When you change sdk for project the AndroidManifest.xml is rewritten.

Call to AndroidProjectUtil.updateAndroidManifest(project, pkgName, className) in
http://kenai.com/projects/nbandroid/sources/mercurial/content/project/src/org/netbeans/modules/android/project/ui/customizer/AndroidProjectProperties.java is the root of this problem.

Contributions welcomed. This does not look too difficult to fix.

two use cases:
1. main activity class is refactored and AM.xml needs to be updated
2. user changes main activity in project properties

(2.) is wrong IMO. Project configuration should offer you to run default main activity and then this is not an issue. Or you may want to run some specific one but then it does not need to be synced with AM.xml content.

Using XPath like
string(manifest/@package)
string(manifest/application/activity/intent-filter/action[@android:name='android.intent.action.MAIN']//following-sibling::category[@android:name='android.intent.category.LAUNCHER']/parent::/parent::/@android:name)
we can get these names in Ant script and launch the activity.
