Android Studio) Manifest Merger Failed

firstly my module build.gradle was like this:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
android {
compileSdkVersion 28
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.depressionanalysis"
minSdkVersion 27
targetSdkVersion 28
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
productFlavors {
}
buildToolsVersion '28.0.3'
}
dependencies {
implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')

implementation 'com.loopj.android:android-async-http:1.4.9'
}
which resulted in this warning:
" The app gradle file must have a dependency on com.google.firebase:firebase-core for Firebase services to work as intended. "
so i tried to add it in (and updated firestore as well)
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

}
but got this error

How do i fix it? I've tried out a few solutions found here but to no avail.. Thanks in advance! Let me know if any other codes are needed!!

You are using the latest version of firestore:
com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:21.4.2
and on June 2019, firebase started supporting androidX, therefore you need to migrate to androidX to be able to use firebase.
The updated libraries will not work unless you make the following changes in your app:
Upgrade com.android.tools.build:gradle to v3.2.1 or later.
Upgrade compileSdkVersion to 28 or later.
Update your app to use Jetpack (AndroidX); follow the instructions in Migrating to AndroidX.
Check how to migrate:
https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate

Actually, for the same library, you have different versions via different sources, You have support library as well as their AndroidX version, For Now, you can try solving it using
tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory
attribute as given in your error itself.
Go to your AndroidManifest file add this attribute like below.
<application
android:name=".AbcApplication"
tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory
>
</application>

for me i have add two attribute in AndroidMenifest.xml
tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"
android:appComponentFactory="androidx"
full tag it like :
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/logo"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/logo"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"
android:appComponentFactory="androidx"
tools:ignore="GoogleAppIndexingWarning">
and your project should be in Androidx.

Manifest merger failed with multiple errors, see logs on Android Studio

The error says that "Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'. > "
I have tried many solutions on this website but still, the problem is not solved. Please help me

Merging Errors: Error: tools:replace specified at line:5 for attribute
android:appComponentFactory, but no new value specified app main
manifest (this file), line 4 Error: Validation failed, exiting app
main manifest (this file)

For me, the solution was to just migrate to AndroidX.
On Android Studio, go to:
Refactor > Migrate to AndroidX
clean the project.

I.m delete this
tools:ignore="GoogleAppIndexingWarning",
tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"
and fix this problem.good luck :)

Just remove the below line:
tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"
And recompile and finally it works for me!

you should try this:
1:Remove tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"
2:Provide new value for android:appComponentFactory" attribute
from:
Manifest merger failed, error on compiling
it worked for me!

solve my problem
Refactor > Migrate to AndroidX

In my case an error in Manifest file brought about this error at the time of generating apk although app was building flawlessly.
It was want of explicit 'exported' attribute in activity elements in Manifest file. after that apk too generated successfully .

Error when Multidex Enabled

I've recently had to enable multidex in my android studio project, this is built with imported module. It's doing well in the main project, but showing multidex problem in the project built with imported(from the main project) module. I have followed this documentation to enable multidex. As the application tag is not overridden , so i've followed the method related. Now i'm getting this error:
Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug'.
java.io.IOException: Can't write [E:\something\SalesDemo >Updated\app\build\intermediates\multi-dex\debug\componentClasses.jar] (Can't >read [E:\something\SalesDemo >Updated\app\build\intermediates\classes\debug(;;;;;;**.class)] (Can't read [com] >(Can't read [smth] (Can't read [infolinkplus] (Can't read
[some.class] (Duplicate zip entry
[com/abc/def/some.class]))))))
Here's my build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
//noinspection GroovyMissingReturnStatement
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
// buildToolsVersion "24.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.abc.def.somethingotherthing"
multiDexEnabled true
minSdkVersion 16
//noinspection OldTargetApi
targetSdkVersion 22
versionCode 16
versionName "0.0.16"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
//implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.2.0'

compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.3'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:10.2.0'
compile project(':infolinkplus')
}
And the manifest file:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="com.abc.def.somethingotherthing">
<application
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
tools:ignore="AllowBackup,GoogleAppIndexingWarning">
...
//ACTIVITIES AND META-TAGS
...
</application>
</manifest>
After changes, i ran clean build and rebuilt but no result.
How can i overcome this problem? Thanks in advance.

You have to change your Manifest to provide MultiDex:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.myapp">
<application
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" >
...
</application>
</manifest>
or if you have custom Application class, you have to extend it with MultiDexApplication
public class MyApplication extends MultiDexApplication { ... }

Duplicate zip entry
[com/abc/def/some.class]
In your project you must be having a class with name some.class rename it to some thing else

Try this code...
i hope you done this things..
multiDexEnabled true
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
make class for application level..
public class MyApplication extends MultiDexApplication {
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
}
android:name="MyApplication" > // here define that class name that extends by MultiDexApplication

Why is my application only compatible with 14 devices on google play?

I am editing an App code. Only the front.
I am facing with the problem that the application runs over any device in debug mode, but, once I upload to google play the application is just comptible with 14 devices. ¿14? ¿Really?. I dont understand. It is very weird.
This is what is google showing me: https://imgur.com/a/R8Rgj
This all I have declared app use in the manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

IDK if there is another place where could be limiting the devices.
IDK if it is a peace af code doing this. The first time I am facing it.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE
As you can see in the pic, the platform only refers to x86_64. iDK if this is the problem. If it is the case, any idea how to solve it? please?

As of 9/10/2017 and this answer will be outdated super fast, your app is not targeting the latest API, try targeting the API 26 Android O.
Change these and rebuild to the latest API 26 and update the dependencies
compileSdkVersion
buildToolsVersion
targetSdkVersion

Right now Google supports the SDK on 14+ minimum SDK.So,it is generally preferriable to make youa apps minimum SDK to 14.Many of the apps SDK is functional and better for that minimum SDK value

Java.exe finished with non-zero exit value 2 in Android Studio

This error came after when I added compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.2.3'. Can't find solution I also tried multiple dex file true in default config section. I also tried creating another app for testing which was running successfully.

The Android plugin for Gradle available in Android SDK Build Tools
21.1 and higher supports multidex as part of your build configuration. Make sure you update the Android SDK Build Tools tools and the Android
Support Repository to the latest version using the SDK Manager before
attempting to configure your app for multidex.
Setting up your app development project to use a multidex configuration requires that you make a few modifications to your app development project. In particular you need to perform the following steps:
Change your Gradle build configuration to enable multidex
Modify your manifest to reference the MultiDexApplication class
Modify your app Gradle build file configuration to include the support library and enable multidex output .
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
defaultConfig {
...
minSdkVersion 19
targetSdkVersion 23
...
// Enabling multidex support.
multiDexEnabled true
}
...
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
}
In your manifest add the MultiDexApplication class from the multidex support library to the application element.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.android.multidex.myapplication">
<application
...
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication">
...
</application>
</manifest>
Edited
You can use
compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.5.1'
Read
https://developer.android.com/intl/es/tools/building/multidex.html

You have problem of multidex file so please add below dependency to your app Gradle file.
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
Also add this line:
defaultConfig {
applicationId 'pkg'
minSdkVersion
targetSdkVersion
versionCode
versionName
// Enable MultiDexing: https://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html
multiDexEnabled true
}
Also add below in Manifest.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.android.multidex.myapplication">
<application
...
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication">
...
</application>
</manifest>
Edited :
Try the following:
Change setting
Ctrl + Alt + S -> Compiler -> Gradle
InVM Options field write:
-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
Add in gradle
dexOptions { javaMaxHeapSize "2g" }
Thanks..!!

This issue is quite possibly due to exceeding the 65K methods dex limit imposed by Android. This problem can be solved either by cleaning the project, and removing some unused libraries and methods from dependencies in build.gradle, OR by adding multidex support.
So, If you have to keep libraries and methods, then you can enable multi dex support by declaring it in the gradle config.
defaultConfig {
// Enabling multidex support.
multiDexEnabled true
}
