How do I change the project.properties if it says it is autogenerating?
I want to put:
manifestmerger.enabled=true
in my project.properties
file ( see here why ; from googling it looks like this line should be added to project.properties
). However, at the top of my project.properties
file it says:
# This file is automatically generated by Android Tools.
# Do not modify this file -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE ERASED!
If my project.properties
file is auto-generated and I don't have to edit it, where can I put the instruction manifestmerger.enabled=true
? I look around but can't find an obvious place where it should go, or how to edit project.properties
so that my changes aren't overwritten when the file is autogenerated.

You can add the setting to the file ant.properties
. The ant.properties file can be created by you. It is only editable
According to build.xml
:
The ant.properties file can be created by you. It is only edited by the
'android' tool to add properties to it.
This is the place to change some Ant specific build properties.
Here are some properties you may want to change/update:
source.dir
The name of the source directory. Default is 'src'.
out.dir
The name of the output directory. Default is 'bin'.
For other overridable properties, look at the beginning of the rules
files in the SDK, at tools/ant/build.xml
Properties related to the SDK location or the project target should
be updated using the 'android' tool with the 'update' action.
This file is an integral part of the build system for your
application and should be checked into Version Control Systems.
And manifestmerger.enabled
is listed in tools/ant/build.xml
.
