Can you run the build with --info to see more console output?

A hour ago i ran gradlew from command line and was getting the error:

[AndroidManifest.xml:3, AndroidManifest.xml:3] Main manifest has <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion='7'> but library uses minSdkVersion='8'

I editet my manifest files (librarys and main-manifest but i keep getting the same error.... (even after rebuild)

Stacktrace with info:

Executing task ':ItchyFeet:processDebugManifest' due to:

  No history is available.

[AndroidManifest.xml:3, AndroidManifest.xml:3] Main manifest has <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion='7'> but library uses minSdkVersion='8'

:ItchyFeet:processDebugManifest FAILED

The error message should be visible by calling gradle assemble only - the error message is really confusing right now

[Lukas Olsen]

And the compiling did work with the librarys in the gradle file - yesterday it suddenly stopped... all started by adding the GooglePlayServices library (via Google Repositories) and now i can't build any longer

[Lukas Olsen]

Okay now after editing the main build.gradle to sdkVersion 8 it finally worked - though i'm 100% sure that it compiled yesterday with the library in it and even accessing GooglePlayServices...

I am having a similar issue with merging manifests.  My scenario is that I have two android-library projects, one of which is dependent on the other.  The manifests are both virtually empty and identical except for the package name.  I see the following when running with --debug:

:common:processReleaseManifest

[AndroidManifest.xml:1] Could not find element /manifest/application

[AndroidManifest.xml:1] Could not find element /manifest/application.

...

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Manifest merging failed. See console for more info.

I was going to start debugging ManifestMerger.process() which appears to originate the error, but was hoping maybe this was a known problem with merging manifests from multiple android-library projects?

Thanks,

Duane

[Lukas Olsen]

At the moment there is a bug where you need a <apllication /> tag in the library manifests - adding this tag should fix the error i think

[du...@clover.com]

Thanks, that fixed the issue.

[Peter Fortuin]

I don't get it. I have also included the GooglePlayServices library into one of my projects and see the same error about the api level being at 7. The easy solution is to put it at 8. But I don't want that.

How can you add an <application /> tag to a library that is not yours? Does this mean the GooglePlayServices library is broken?

Im having the same problem since include ComGoogleAndroidGmsPlayServices3136.aar to my project!!  And i can not modify the AndroidManifest of that!

I have to aar. : ComAndroidSupportAppcompatV71800.aar and ComGoogleAndroidGmsPlayServices3136.aar. The first one have set min android:minSdkVersion=7 and the second one have set min android:minSdkVersion=8 !!!

Anyone got the solution?

Thanks

[Reid Isaki]

I also tried to do these steps but what I needed to do was a "gradle clean" and that seemed to fix my library projects.
