Manifest Merger Conflict in Datatrans Android SDK (v3.10.0)

[drezzzik]

Summary

There is a discrepancy between the recommended integration steps in the Datatrans Android Integration Documentation and the actual AndroidManifest.xml bundled with the ch.datatrans:android-sdk:3.10.0 library. This causes a manifest merger failure during the Android build process.

Description

The documentation states that for the ExternalProcessRelayActivity, the following attributes are required:

• android:launchMode="singleTask"
• android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"

However, the manifest inside the v3.10.0 AAR defines them differently:

• android:launchMode="singleTop"
• android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.NoActionBar"

When an integrating app follows the documentation and declares the activity in its own manifest with the recommended values, the Android Gradle Plugin throws a merger error because of the conflicting values.

Error Output

AndroidManifest.xml:12:13-44 Error: Attribute activity#ch.datatrans.payment.ExternalProcessRelayActivity@launchMode value=(singleTask) from [:destinationPaymentImpl] AndroidManifest.xml:12:13-44 is also present at [ch.datatrans:android-sdk:3.10.0] AndroidManifest.xml:35:13-43 value=(singleTop). Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:launchMode"' to <activity> element at AndroidManifest.xml to override. AndroidManifest.xml:13:13-72 Error: Attribute activity#ch.datatrans.payment.ExternalProcessRelayActivity@theme value=(@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar) from [:destinationPaymentImpl] AndroidManifest.xml:13:13-72 is also present at [ch.datatrans:android-sdk:3.10.0] AndroidManifest.xml:36:13-72 value=(@style/Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.NoActionBar). Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:theme"' to <activity> element at AndroidManifest.xml to override.

Workaround

Either
tools:replace="android:launchMode,android:theme
or to align with activity config from SDK.
