Android - Multiple application names in manifest - Universal Image Loader and ACRA

so you know, I've been using ACRA for a while to allow users to send crash reports via email.

As i have researched, you can only have one instance of an application in the manifest, and unfortunately ACRA is that one application in the manifest. Recently, i started using the Universal Image Loader library, so i had to change the one application in the manifest to UIL from ACRA.

Basically, my question is how can i put two applications in one manifest? Most likely, from what i said above, is almost impossible, so is there a way to extend applications in the manifest or integrate code from ACRA to get it to work when the app crashed.

If needed, i can show source code of my app's manifest.

Thanks for your help anyone. It is getting really annoying.

Solution

  • Something like this should work for you. I have initialized ACRA and UIL both at once:

    public class MyApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    ImageLoaderConfiguration config = new ImageLoaderConfiguration.Builder(getApplicationContext())
   .build();
    ImageLoader.getInstance().init(config);
// for acra
ACRA.init(this);
}
}

    Dont forget to add the internet permission in your manifest. And give your application a name:

      <application android:name="MyApplication">
