Question

In my AndroidManifest.xml, I have a declaration for <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> under the <intent-filter> tag. However, I sometimes want to change the value to android.intent.category.ALTERNATIVE. This would mean that I would have to change the value from the application itself. Is there a way I can modify the manifest’s declarations from hard code? Or is there a more direct way to change the intent-filter parameters of a particular Activity?

Answer 1

You can’t modify the manifest’s declarations from hard code. The Android Manifest is supposed to be immutable specially since the marketplaces use it to decide what devices your app supports.
