Created Saturday 21 November 2020

• Every app must have an AndroidManifest.xml file.

What does it contain?

1. Activity declarations.

2. Package name - which is unique

3. Permissions for the app.

4. Minimum Android API - i.e KitKat, Nougat, 10 etc

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
   

• We can also define intents per activity, via an intent-filter

Intent filter - specifies details about the kind of Intents that the activity can handle. Here, we’ve defined action and category.
