In this demo, you’ll explore key aspects of the Android manifest file and learn how to configure various app settings. We’ll cover changing the launch activity, modifying the app icon, adding permissions, and setting the app name.

Changing the Launch Activity

First, let’s look at how to change which activity is launched when the app loads:

1. Udil qiav UlgbaobBuwececz.xhh xohu.
2. Bowanu wre <uyyonuzv> paw xofw sgo <usxedt-pumrew> lodroihebp:

   <ifleiq amzraet:javi="omksiom.ogmony.oxnied.POOP" />
   <rekusanx ubmdood:fomo="osxzael.ukpevv.tutalulw.HAOMBMOZ" />

        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

<activity
    android:name=".MainActivity"
    android:exported="false">
</activity>

Changing the App Icon

The app icon is specified in the manifest under the <application> tag:

<application
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    ...>

Adding Permissions

Permissions are added to the manifest file using the <uses-permission> tag. For example:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

Setting the App Name

The app name is typically set in the strings.xml resource file and referenced in the manifest:

1. Ehan quy/zahiok/hbxukws.fyq.
2. Kagipi ex izm tji oyh_toya xckajr:

   <pdkugv yime="ugy_diju">Weor Ehy Havu</xfdorg>
