Bug? : AndroidManifest can't compile when installing package flutter_sound

[Sangiovanni]

Hello,

I hope I'm reaching the right place to discuss about this.

I recently wanted to change form soundPool discontinued package to this one which seems to fit my need.

I just have a problem, when I install the package I have this error :

And when I follow the recommandation, This one appear :

Flutter doctor if needed

I would like to know if I can do something to correct this problem since this package seems really close to what I need.

Thanks

Ludovic

Hi Ludo. It seems that the error is not with Flutter Sound but with your Android manifest file.
Why do you thing it's tied with Flutter Sound ?

For info: here is the Manifest that we use in our example.

I have the same issue. Definitely tied to Flutter Sound as my manifest builds correctly and fails as soon as I install the package.

I think to reproduce you have to set android:label and/or android:icon in your application:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <application
        android:label="My App Name"
        android:name="${applicationName}"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher">
        ...
    </application>
</manifest>

Thank you @nbarraille for the info. Unfortunately I can't reproduce your issue. It seems that you forgot the <activity> item.
Here is my Manifest :

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
     <!-- io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication is an android.app.Application that
         calls FlutterMain.startInitialization(this); in its onCreate method.
         In most cases you can leave this as-is, but you if you want to provide
         additional functionality it is fine to subclass or reimplement
         FlutterApplication and put your custom class here. -->

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"/>

                     gap between the end of Android's launch screen and the painting of

Hi Again I find my solution, needed to change my manifest a bit :

I'm using visual studio code and when i create a new flutter project I have this basic manifest wich cause the issue:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <application
        android:label="test_fast"
        android:name="${applicationName}"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher">
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:exported="true"
            android:launchMode="singleTop"
            android:taskAffinity=""
            android:theme="@style/LaunchTheme"
            android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|locale|layoutDirection|fontScale|screenLayout|density|uiMode"
            android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
            android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
            <!-- Specifies an Android theme to apply to this Activity as soon as
                 the Android process has started. This theme is visible to the user
                 while the Flutter UI initializes. After that, this theme continues
                 to determine the Window background behind the Flutter UI. -->
            <meta-data
              android:name="io.flutter.embedding.android.NormalTheme"
              android:resource="@style/NormalTheme"
              />
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <!-- Don't delete the meta-data below.
             This is used by the Flutter tool to generate GeneratedPluginRegistrant.java -->
        <meta-data
            android:name="flutterEmbedding"
            android:value="2" />
    </application>
    <!-- Required to query activities that can process text, see:
         https://developer.android.com/training/package-visibility and
         https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent#ACTION_PROCESS_TEXT.

         In particular, this is used by the Flutter engine in io.flutter.plugin.text.ProcessTextPlugin. -->
    <queries>
        <intent>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.PROCESS_TEXT"/>
            <data android:mimeType="text/plain"/>
        </intent>
    </queries>
</manifest>

I just made some little modification at the top such as :

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.test_fast"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
    <application
        android:label="test_fast"
        android:name="${applicationName}"
        tools:replace="android:label">
...

And now I don't have the issue.

For some reason it was only when I installed the flutter_sound project package that the error occured even though it seems to be an AndroidManifest issue.

i have the same error : C:\Users\Lenovo\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache\hosted\pub.dev\flutter_sound-9.16.3\android\src\main\java\xyz\canardoux\fluttersound\FlutterSound.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
