How can I specify location of AndroidManifest.xml?-CodePudding

I'm porting a module from Eclipse to Android Studio/Gradle, and need to specify the locations of my sources, resources, and manifest:

sourceSets {
    main {
        manifest {
            srcFile './AndroidManifest.xml'
        }
        java {
            srcDirs = ["src"]
        }
        resources {
            srcDirs = ["resource"]
        }
    }
}

Android Studio/Gradle seems perfectly happy with my java and resources entries, but balks at my manifest entry:

No signature of method: build_b4wnchd9ct4a5qt388vbbtbpz.sourceSets() is applicable for argument types: (build_b4wnchd9ct4a5qt388vbbtbpz$_run_closure2) values: [build_b4wnchd9ct4a5qt388vbbtbpz$_run_closure2@35290d54]

All of my googling and searching SO suggests that this should have worked.

Arctic Fox, 2020.3.1. Not sure which version of Gradle came with it.

CodePudding user response：

Ahh, figured it out. Leaving here in case someone else has the same question.

Add an android.sourceSets.manifest.srcFile entry to your module's build.gradle file:

android {
    ...
    sourceSets {
        main {
            manifest {
                srcFile './AndroidManifest.xml'
            }
        }
    }
}

or simply:

android {
    ...
    sourceSets.main.manifest.srcFile './AndroidManifest.xml'
}

My biggest mistake was not putting the sourceSets directive inside the android directive.
