There seems to be some form of manifest merging control in the merge tool that support tools:merge="override|remove".
To use, declare the header of your manifest as follows: <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools";> Then, use one of the following appropriate attributes on any activity, activity-alias, service, receiver, or provider element that you want to merge: tools:merge="override" tools:merge="remove" This info was gleaned from: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/tools/base/+/idea133/build-system/manifest-merger/src/main/java/com/android/manifmerger/ManifestMerger.java Pv On Monday, January 27, 2014 10:55:02 AM UTC-8, Xavier Ducrohet wrote: > > Something like that.
