I'm working on a plugin that uses an Activity. This Activity needs to be added in the AndroidManifest.xml file: <activity android:name="SW_pdfViewerActivity"></activity> Granted, I can manually add it, and it's not much... but I'm curious if there is a way to have it automatically added to a new project AndroidManifest.xml without user intervention? Any hints or tricks would be appreciated! Cheers! -- Smug Title Comments I'm working on a plugin that uses an Activity.

Today is golf day :) But rest assured... soon. It's just about done, the only thing I was concerned with was the AndroidManifest.xml edit, but I guess I'm not going to get out of that.

Pretty sure his php backend is creating the manifest on the fly. Comments Don't think there's a way to automate activities without David's involvement.
