Android Question How to add manifest action to an Activity created inside an external library?

[Abílio Magalhães]

Hi,

I'm trying to add this manifest:
<code>

AddActivityText(com.abilio.FirstLib, <intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.hardware.usb.action.USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED" android:resource="@xml/device_filter" />)

</code>

But B4A tells an error, because "com.abilio.FirstLib" is not an Activity.

In fact, "com.abilio.FirstLib" is an Activity created inside a .jar library and it needs to have access to USB.

Can you send me your comments?

Kinds Regards,
Abilio

Is this a Java library or a library compiled from a B4A project?

Hi,

It is a Java library.

In most cases it is better to add the activity from B4A and work with non-activity Java objects.

If you do want to add an activity in your library then you need to call AddApplicationText to add the activity declaration (with the intent filter).
