Question

recently I had an error, which was caused by a corrupted AndroidManifest.xml file. Is there any possibility out there to check for corrupted AndroidManifest.xml files from eclipse ?

Or is there a scheme file for the manifest to validate against it ?

The corruption was, that I forgot the “intent-filter” tag of an activity. I got no error in eclipse or my app.

        <activity android:name=".ActivityExample" android:label="activity">     
            <action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE" /> 
        </activity>

Answer 1

If you are asking for validation of the nodes then eclipse would do that for you….otherwise Cooktop is a good tool to validate xmls.

And if you want to validate as per the manifest schema then go through this link….

Hope it helps.
