I have added above content from manifest file to build hint xapplication key as suggested on stack overflow but it doesn't work.

Did you package the SDK into the final APK?
What did you do besides that and what triggered that error?

And i have copied PaypalSdk jar file into native directory, after this i have given android build to generate apk, what else am I supposed to do, did I miss anything?

[Shai Almog]

What about the build hint specifying the additional activity? You need to inject the paypal activity into the manifest.

[deep...@gmail.com]

I have injected all the activities(including main and additional activities) into manifest file and i have pasted the content of the build hints at the beginning of this post, the problem is that the build hint entries are not getting added into the manifest file of the built APK as I have decompiled the APK and checked it, so please tell me the solution for this problem.

[Shai Almog]

How did you set this to the build hint. I just see XML data and not the build hint.
Did you edit the properties file directly? Are you using the GUI?

[deep...@gmail.com]

I am using GUI to set the build hint, i have pasted the XML content to value part of android.xapplication key like given below :

android.xapplication= <activity android:name="com.paypal.android.sdk.payments.LoginActivity"/>  <activity android:name="com.paypal.android.sdk.payments.PaymentMethodActivity"/>  <activity android:name="com.paypal.android.sdk.payments.PaymentConfirmActivity"/>  <activity android:name="com.paypal.android.sdk.payments.PayPalFuturePaymentActivity"/>  <activity android:name="com.paypal.android.sdk.payments.FuturePaymentConsentActivity"/>  <activity android:name="com.paypal.android.sdk.payments.FuturePaymentInfoActivity"/>  <activity android:name="io.card.payment.DataEntryActivity"/>

[Shai Almog]

That looks fine. Look in the codenameone_settings.properties and see that you didn't enter any spaces or special characters by mistake.

[deep...@gmail.com]

That should not be an issue since I am not manipulating the content of properties file directly , Since I am operating through GUI and properties file is autogenerated there is a rare possibility of extra spaces or characters in properties file, but still i checked it from my side and i could not find any, I made another sample app and injected an activity in android.xapplication build hint, after sending the build ,i decompiled the built APK and i could not find any additional activity in the manifest file which i had injected in build hint, I am wondering if it's the right way of injecting activities or  am I doing any mistake, My colleague had posted the similiar issue on stackoverflow, there also same procedure was suggested, so pls tell me what more can be done over this? Thanks

[Shai Almog]

android.xapplication should work just fine and should appear in the build hints as codename1.arg.android.xapplication. If the activity doesn't appear in the manifest that is clearly the problem but I can't see how this would happen. Can you paste your codenameone_settings.properties file?
Maybe one of the other build hints conflicts with this.

[deep...@gmail.com]

This is the content of codenamone_settings.properties

You added xapplication= instead of xapplication.

[deep...@gmail.com]

Its not taking build if i don't add =, if add = it takes build

[deep...@gmail.com]

Its gives following build exception if i don't put =

java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot read packageName from /tmp/build4989325680439749120xxx/MyApplication/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

[deep...@gmail.com]

Yes that was a mistake, i corrected that mistake(removed =) and its working fine, I can see additional activity in manifest file now, thanks for your help, i really appreciate it.
