Cannot read packageName from AndroidManifest.xml

Question

I have errors in my android manifest file:

Error:Cannot read packageName from C:\\Users\\brandon\\AndroidStudioProjects\\MineDodge2\\app\\src\\main\\AndroidM         


        

Answer 1

I had this in a multi-subproject project, caused by the subproject not matching the configure( clause in the top-level build.gradle.

Specifically I had

configure(subprojects.findAll { it.name.startsWith("pachymeninx") }) {

which did not match my new subproject called pachymen. But the Gradle build process issued no warning (that I saw) and instead gave "Cannot read packageName from AndroidManifest.xml" error for the pachymen subproject.
