How does AndroidManifest

The AndroidManifest.xml file is a crucial component of any Android application. It provides essential information about the app to the Android build system, the Android operating system, and Google Play. This file contains details such as the app's package name, components (activities, services, broadcast receivers, and content providers), permissions, and other metadata required for the app to function properly.

Here is a basic example of an AndroidManifest.xml file:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.myapp"> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round" android:supportsRtl="true" android:theme="@style/AppTheme"> <activity android:name=".MainActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> </manifest>
