Library is having application icon and theme

[Raghuramchowdary-tech]

As the main application will already have application icon and theme in place. While building the app fails with following

Error:(39, 9) Attribute application@icon value=(@drawable/launcher_icon) from AndroidManifest.xml:39:9
Error:(41, 9) Attribute application@theme value=(@style/Theme.rctheme) from AndroidManifest.xml:41:9
is also present at com.twotoasters.clusterkraf:library:1.0.2:5:115 value=(@style/AppTheme)
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:theme"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:37:5 to override
Error:Execution failed for task ':handset:processDebugManifest'.

Manifest merger failed with multiple errors, see logs

Possible Resolution
replace the manifest

current one

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
</application>

new one

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

The problem is that you are setting a theme, but the library also has a theme set. If you look in your log you'll see this line:

Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:theme"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:37:5 to override

This is saying that you need to add that metadata to your application's manifest, and it will force your theme to override the current one when the manifests are merged.

Here's an example from the Android documentation (http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide/manifest-merger):

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.android.tests.flavorlib.app"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/icon"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        tools:replace=”icon, label”/>
</manifest>

You need to use tools:replace=android:theme, rather than icon, label.

It likely was added by default when the library project was created, but never removed.

@curtinmartis
You should not package "sample" module when building library .aar. A Library is not supposed to inject redundant/sample resources, styles, manifests and themes into library's user's projects.

There must be a way to ignore a certain module when packaging with Gradle.
