Xml merge doesn't work correctly

[Fatme]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a plugin that contains for example  AndroidManifest.xml and adds some permissions
2. Add the plugin
3. Add android platform.
4. Ensure that the produced AndroidManifest in platforms/android is correct and contains the added permissions from step 1.

Hi,

Ran into this as well, @Fatme did the generated xml file simply get replaced by the one provided in the plugin?

I'm curious: is there a way to make the merge work with 1.1.0 on Android at all?

[EddyVerbruggen]

Confimed it works fine with 1.1.1 👍

Merging an <activity> doesn't however :(

Hi @EddyVerbruggen,

Can you send us the Manifest that you're trying to merge?

[EddyVerbruggen]

Yep, I've tried:

<application>
    <activity
        android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.CaptureActivity"
        android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true"
        android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"
        android:exported="false">
      <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN"/>
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
      </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

and

    <activity
        android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.CaptureActivity"
        android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true"
        android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"
        android:exported="false">
      <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN"/>
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
      </intent-filter>
    </activity>

In both cases this block is added outside the main <application> tag.
