An android_manifest() rule is used to generate an Android Manifest to be used by android_binary() and android_aar() rules. This rule takes a skeleton manifest, and merges it with manifests found in any deps.

Parameters​

  • name: name of the target
  • default_target_platform: specifies the default target platform, used when no platforms are specified on the command line
  • target_compatible_with: a list of constraints that are required to be satisfied for this target to be compatible with a configuration
  • compatible_with: a list of constraints that are required to be satisfied for this target to be compatible with a configuration
  • exec_compatible_with: a list of constraints that are required to be satisfied for this target to be compatible with an execution platform
  • visibility: a list of visibility patterns restricting what targets can depend on this one
  • within_view: a list of visibility patterns restricting what this target can depend on
  • metadata: a key-value map of metadata associated with this target
  • tests: a list of targets that provide tests for this one
  • modifiers: an array of modifiers associated with this target
  • deps: A collection of dependencies that includes android_library rules. The manifest files of the android_library() rules will be filtered out to become dependent source files for the manifest.
  • skeleton: Either a build target or a path to a file representing the manifest that will be merged with any manifests associated with this rule's deps.

Details​

Examples:

Here's an example of an android_manifest() that has no deps.


android_manifest(
  name = 'my-manifest',
  skeleton = 'AndroidManifestSkeleton.xml',
)

This is what AndroidManifestSkeleton.xml looks like.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          package="com.example"
          android:versionCode="1"
          android:versionName="1.0">

    <uses-sdk targetSdkVersion="19" minSdkVersion="17"/>
    <application
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher">
        <activity
            android:name="MyActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

You could also use a genrule() to generate the manifest file and reference the build target in the skeleton argument.
