Question

in the manifest under application nodes I have to enter what activities, services, receivers my activity starts. some of them start with a dot, so I see something like

ActivityA

or

.ActivityB

What does the dot mean?

Thanks, A.

Answer 1

From the android doc:

However, as a shorthand, if the first
character of the string is a period,
the string is appended to the
application’s package name (as
specified by the element’s
package attribute).

So it basically says that the Activity declared is located in the package defined in the manifest tag
