[Android-development] debug build failing with manifest error

[Harri Pasanen]

I'm somewhat puzzled by the following I get when building for debug:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.


* What went wrong:

Execution failed for task ':processDebugResources'.

Error Code:

1

Output:

/home/harri/projects/mbraille-qt/build-MBraille-qt5_4_hp-Debug/android-build/build/intermediates/manifests/full/debug/AndroidManifest.xml:51: 
error: Error: String types not allowed (at 'configChanges' with value 
'orientation|uiMode|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|locale|fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|navigation').


The culprit is apparently this line:

android:configChanges="orientation|uiMode|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|locale|fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|navigation"


which gets added by the build process at some point, it is not in the 
original AndroidManifest.xml


I'm using Gradle (no particular reason, I just did not have Ant 
installed in this machine and I figured I'll try it).


Does this ring a bell?


Thanks,


Harri
