Android studio Gradle icon error, Manifest Merger
AndroidGradleAndroid StudioAndroid Problem Overview
I keep seeing this message and not sure how to solve it for good.
Error:(43, 9) Attribute application@icon value=(@drawable/new_app_icon) from AndroidManifest.xml:43:9
is also present at com.github.erizet.signala:signala-longpolling:0.20:7:18 value=(@drawable/ic_launcher)
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:icon"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:40:5 to override
:OpenBook:processDebugManifest FAILED
Error:Execution failed for task ':OpenBook:processDebugManifest'.
> Manifest merger failed with multiple errors, see logs
Tried adding android:replace="android:icon"
to my manifest even with my icon.
I tried deleting the android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher
from the library but it keeps coming back when i build because its imported from maven
Any ideas ?

Solution 1 - Android
It seems to be the fault of the mainfest Merger tool for gradle.
http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide/manifest-merger
Solved it by adding to my manifest tag xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
Then added tools:replace="android:icon,android:theme"
to the application tag
This tells the merger to use my manifest icon and theme and not of other libraries

I have same issue , I fix it like this by adding xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
to the top of mainfest file , and add tools:replace="android:icon"
to be look like
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" // add tools line here
package="yourpackage">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
tools:replace="android:icon"> ///add this line
.....
</application>
</manifest>

i have same error , just this code solve my problem , i want to share with you :
in Manifest.xml
:
-
add this code in top of your xml file :
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
-
Then added :
tools:replace="android:icon,android:theme,android:label,android:name"
to the application tag
Solution 4 - Android
The answer of shimi_tap is enough.
What to be remembered is that choosing only what you need. Choose from {icon, name, theme, label}.
I added tools:replace="android:icon,android:theme"
, it does not work. I added tools:replace="android:icon,android:theme,android:label,android:name"
, it does not work. It works when I added tools:replace="android:icon,android:theme,android:label"
. So find out what the conflict exactly is in your manifest files.
Solution 5 - Android
Just add xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
to your manifest tag, and then you need to add tools:replace="android:icon"
before android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
.
Solution 6 - Android
This error also occurs when your app's minSdk is higher than any library's minSdk.
app's minSdk >= libraries minSdk

GOT THE SOLUTION AFTER ALOT OF TIME GOOGLING
just get your ic_launcher and paste it in your drawables folder,
Go to your manifest and change android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
Clean your project and rebuild
Hope it helps you

I had this problem changing the icon from drawable to mipmap.
I only missed the line
tools:replace="android:icon"
in the manifest.
Solution 9 - Android
For some reason android studio doesn't like calling app icon from drawable folder. So in that case I created mipmap resource directory under res folder.
Right click res folder > new > android resource directory > resource type: mipmap and now drop any icon in there then reference that into manifest file. Sharing this since this method worked for me.
android:icon:@drawable/ic_launcher"
to
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"

If nothing of that work, close Android Studio. Go on app/src/main, open the file AndroidManifest.xml in a text editor (like sublime), remove/replace the erros lines, save and reopen android studio.

Solution 12 - Android
Shimi_tap's answer is the right way to fix the problem. If you want to use old merger tool you can add this to build.gradle file
android { useOldManifestMerger true }
Solution 13 - Android
For me, this issue occurred after updating Google Play Services. One of the libraries I was using incorporated this library using the "+" in its gradel reference, like
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'
This created an issue because the min version targeted by that library was less than what was targeted by the current version of Google Play Services. I found this by simply looking in the logs.
Solution 14 - Android
In your .gradle
change MinSDK, for example:
build.gradle
(Module: app)- before:
minSdkVersion 9
- after:
minSdkVersion 14
- before:
etc.
Solution 15 - Android
I tried all the solution mentioned above
in Manifest.xml
:
-
add this code in top of your xml file within manifest tag:
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
-
Then added :
tools:replace="android:icon,android:theme,android:label,android:name"
to the application tag
but none of it worked. I needed to delete a xml file which was situated in
> mipmap-anydpi-v26/ic_launcher_round.xml
I was testing the application in
Samsung Galaxy 8 with OS version 8.0.0
is it really a solution?
Solution 16 - Android
Within the AndroidManifest.xml file, add the following to the application
node:
tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory,android:icon,android:theme,android:label,android:name"
Solution 17 - Android
This issue occurs when you add a third-party library with @drawable/ic_launcher attribute thus android merger is unable to differentiate your app icon attribute and the library's attribute. To solve this add this line in your manifest file under the application tag
tools:replace="android:icon"

And update for Android Studio - Arctic Fox
