uses-sdk element cannot have a "tools:node" attribute

[dcampogiani]

I've updated Android Studio to version 0.9, and gradle build tools to version 0.14, now when i try to build my application (which is using ASNE) I got this error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'. Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk element cannot have a "tools:node" attribute

I've searched in my code, and I'm not using tools:node="replace" anywhere, but ASNE is using in manifest (both in core and "modules").

Any idea how I can solve this problem?

[gorbin]

I use last stable Android Studio 0.8.6 and remember that there are same error with gradle tools 0.13.2 but than it was fixed
check this question and approved answer

just updates to 0.9.1 and gradle tools to 0.4.1

and if it works - can you notify me please? if not I try to reslve it via gradle scripts - main idea of using tools:node="replace" is to resolve merge conflicts with oter libs and make ASNE modular

[dcampogiani]

Thanks for your feedback.

I've already updated to Android Studio 0.9.1 and gradle tools 0.14.1 but this doesn't solve my problem.

I've also Invalidated the caches as suggested here, and this doesn't help.

I also have the same problem (and I am the author of the suggestion mentioned above)
Trying to assemble a release build w/ Android Studio 0.9.1 and Gradle Tools 0.14.1 reproduces the error.

[TheMedo]

I found a temporary workaround:

1. Open your project with Android Studio 0.8.14 / Gradle build tools 0.13.2
2. Build your project ex. gradlew assembleRelease
3. Switch back to Android Studio 0.9.1 / Gradle build tools 0.14.1
4. gradlew assembleRelease will work now

I'm guessing the manifest was already merged for that specific build type.
This means any change to the manifest file will require new manifest merger.

is it possible to remove tools:node="replace" in ASNE?
i can't compile my project when using ASNE on AS 0.9.2, Gradle tools 0.14.1
tried every method to get it compiled but failed and the workaround by @TheMedo is not an option for me

[edward-s]

using this workaround compiles my app

android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
variant.processResources.manifestFile = file('src/main/AndroidManifest.xml')
variant.processManifest.enabled=false }

but it slows my app down. i.e: listview doesn't scroll smoothly anymore.

[alenz316]

I am also with @edward-s: AS 0.9.2, Gradle 0.14.1, and Android build tools 21.1.1.

@TheMedo workaround is not an option and @edward-s workaround is not an option either since I have multiple builds with different package names and references that require that to be turned on.

@gorbin is removing tools:node="replace" in ASNE an option?

[quentin23soleil]

Same here, is it possible to remove tools:node from ASNE without causing to much problems?

[gorbin]

I was in the hospital and could not keep track of the project or fix anything but for now I'm fine and very grateful to you for the issues. I am very interested in this project and will develop it further.

If I remove tools:node it should break merge different libraries in project, trying to find another solution. Work on it now...

I agree with @alenz316 workaround with different studios not an option - try to find another way to solve it. But hot fix until I solve it

Thanks everyone for your support

[kiratheone]

sory for my bad language
i've an alternnative for this issue new android studio

1. Setting your gradle from @gorbin 's link on first answer
2. Manual merge Manifest library to your App manifest. ex: when using ASN FB library, you must add like permission , activity and etc from ASN FB manifest to your manifest. if already exist, do not add anymore.
3. Rebuild your project

Until now, @gorbin 's ASN library work fine for me.
of course with new version android studio :)

I hope this studio android issue resolved soon, Thanks

[gorbin]

I remove uses-sdk and fully update all to last versions of libs and sdks
It works fine in my dev studio, but not sure in stable version - will check it soon

[TheMedo]

Excellent news!
Let us know when the latest version is available on Maven Central :)

[quentin23soleil]

Woohaa! Go for it!

@matantsu your problem is not related. You have over 65k methods in your project. Check https://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html

[mohamed-habib]

I still have this problem,

Android Studio 1.2.2

[mohamed-habib]

I Found a solution to this problem,

In AndroidManifest file
-add this line to mainfest tag:
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

-add this tag:

[deniszink]

@mohamed-habib, can you post some code?

[mohamed-habib]

I don't understand what code exactly do you want?
my last comment was code to be written in the manifest file.

[falkolab]

<uses-sdk tools:node="merge" android:minSdkVersion="MIN_SDK" android:targetSdkVersion="TARGET_SDK" />
