for my case the same setup is working if I use the android-apt (com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.8) plugin with the following arguments

apt {
    arguments {
        androidManifestFile variant.outputs[0]?.processResources?.manifestFile
        resourcePackageName android.defaultConfig.applicationId
    }
}

We should aim to 26.x, however i think if you have flavors, the two are the same. If you do not have flavors, the current solution already works for 25.x.

I'll see what i can do.

I think i need to check the following, or am i missing a case?

Processor	Flavor	Split	Description
APT	✖️	✖️	no flavor or split
APT	✖️	✔️	no flavor but split
APT	✔️	✖️	flavor but no split
APT	✔️	✔️	flavor and split
KAPT	✖️	✖️	no flavor or split
KAPT	✖️	✔️	no flavor but split
KAPT	✔️	✖️	flavor but no split
KAPT	✔️	✔️	flavor and split

I think this covers everything. Nice table! :)

@WonderCsabo

@WonderCsabo although I don't what to get an answer... this is yet again a situation that makes me think of having some extra test cases. not only the compile and functional test we have right now but also something like a multi module gradle project that test like the latest release and maybe support for upcoming majors like the 3.0 alphas. and there we could have small sample projects using these diffrent setups. this way we can (more or less) early detect issues with new versions or regressions with old versions.

Hi,
I have same issue if I can somehow assist please let me know.
Thanks

Hello guys!

I'm having the exactly same problem using version 4.3.1:

androidannotations.log:

18:16:39.567 [Task worker for ':' Thread 3] ERROR o.a.i.h.AndroidManifestFinder:147 - Could not find the AndroidManifest.xml file, using  generation folder [/Users/rgonzagacamargo/Developer/git/mobile-android/appName/build/generated/source/apt/dev/debug])

Here's my configuration:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId project.appPackage

        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 25

        multiDexEnabled true // Enabling multidex support.

    }

    splits {
        // Configures screen ABI split settings
        abi {
            // Enable ABI APK splits
            enable true

            // By default all ABIs are included, so use reset() and include to specify that we only
            // want APKs for x86, armeabi-v7a, and mips

            // Resets the list of ABIs that Gradle should create APKs for to none
            reset()

            // Specifies a list of ABIs that Gradle should create APKs for
            include "arm64-v8a", "armeabi-v7a"

            // Specify that we want to also generate a universal APK that includes all ABIs
            universalApk true
        }
    }
}

Is there any update related to this issue?

Thank you!

I just invested some time to review the issue related to splits. unfortunately we have no indication if we have a build with split.

While we could find a related AndroidManifest.xml I'm not sure if we can ensure to pick the correct one...

Not sure what might be the best practice to solve that.

@dodgex

@dodgex we could just use the AndroidManifest.xml of a random split (inside the variant). I think the manifests between split does not really differ. WDYT?

I have no idea,.. I had the same thought about picking a random one, but i think it is possible to have custom code and manifest per split. e.g on x86 there might is a special config for the awesome x86 native lib used... not sure.

But i think this would be our best bet. as i have not found a way to get on the current split mode from the annotation processor.

Okay, lets stay with the random one for now.

Thank you guys! Our app currently does not have specific AndroidManifest.xml file per architecture, random file would fix the current problem.

This issue resurfaces in the latest Android Studio build.

Android Studio 3.3 Canary 2

Having to go down this path for Material Design artifacts that I need. Jumped off the cliff of 'JetPack' and it appears my JetPack isn't starting... sigh

@dodgex

I also get this error now when I upgraded to use the new gradle version 4.6 and build tools 3.2.0
When I change back to gradle 4.4 and build tools 3.1.4 the problem is gone! @dodgex

I have multiple flavors and this kapt configuration:

kapt {
    arguments {
        arg("resourcePackageName", android.defaultConfig.applicationId)
    }
}

The Android Gradle Plugin version 3.2.0 changed the manifest location again. We already fix that, you should try the SNAPSHOT release.

@WonderCsabo

@WonderCsabo is there any plan to release 4.5 version? Thank you.

I had the same problem today and after reading the documentation I found that you can set the default manifest path. I solved it by adding into buld.gradle(Module:app) into defaultConfig{..}

javaCompileOptions { annotationProcessorOptions { arguments = ["androidManifestFile": "D:\\Projects\\Android-Project\\app\\src\\main\\AndroidManifest.xml"] //add your path to AndroidManifest.xml } }

@mihaiAdascalitei

@mihaiAdascalitei
Thanks for your solution. A little bit improvement.

javaCompileOptions {
    annotationProcessorOptions {
        arguments = [
            "androidManifestFile": "$projectDir/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml".toString()
        ]
    }
}

Thanks @willPasco

@mihaiAdascalitei

@mihaiAdascalitei
Thanks for your solution. That works for me.

@luisfernandezbr

@luisfernandezbr which parent tag does the javaCompileOptions go into?

Found it:

android {
   …
   defaultConfig {
      …
      javaCompileOptions {
         annotationProcessorOptions {
            arguments = [

@krischik

@krischik if you are using AndroidStudio 3.5 and getting manifest not found, test the 4.7.0-SNAPSHOT of AA. it contains an updated version of the AndroidManifestFinder that works with AS3.5

@krischik

@krischik the way of doing it was already described in my response above :) #2034 (comment)

@krischik

@krischik the way of doing it was already described in my response

No it wasn't. Your response was incomplete. It was missing:

android {
   …
   defaultConfig {

You response was a typical power user response. Missing important context informations because you thought “everybody” would know the correct place to put the code snippet.

@krischik

@krischik the only problem is that you don't understand how to properly read a response nor appreciate the fact that is offered to you. It's clearly explained where to put it " I solved it by adding into buld.gradle(Module:app) into defaultConfig{..}". More of it, it's nice that everybody else managed to understand it :).
