Androidmanifest xml does not exist or has the wrong root tag

After I renamed the directory app/src/main

to app/src/bk

using the rename feature in Android Studio, I get the following error:

Androidmanifest xml does not exist or has the wrong root tag

I've already tried all the answers from here . Unfortunately none of them worked. I also looked at the problem report .

Is there a way to make this work?

At the moment of copying the directory bk

and renaming it into the main

error disappears and I can create the application.

I solved this by re-importing the project. It will automatically sync the project with the Gradle files. This can also be done by clicking Gradle File Sync Project in Android Studio.

I think its not allowed to rename app / src / main

The commented thing will never happen, because when we sync the project with the cradle, it by default replaces main

How can I change my main problem in any other problem, it cannot identify the manifest. so I am specifying the path to the manifest in gradle.build.

You can create a project if you add it to your Android build.gradle.

sourceSets {
            main {
                manifest.srcFile 'src/bk/AndroidManifest.xml'
            }
        }


and I got warnings like this.

Error:(33, 28) No resource found that matches the given name (at 'label' with value '@string/app_name').
Error:(24, 24) No resource found that matches the given name (at 'theme' with value '@style/AppTheme').
Error:(22, 23) No resource found that matches the given name (at 'icon' with value '@drawable/ic_launcher').
Error:(23, 24) No resource found that matches the given name (at 'label' with value '@string/app_name').

As per the warnings, the app cannot find drawables / strings associated with it as we are showing the path to the manifest indirectly.

Maybe I'm wrong. I am adding my assumptions according to my knowledge.

Changing the folder name will change the path to the AndroidManifest.xml file. You need to make sure you are pointing to the correct file in Project Structure -> Modules -> [Correct module] -> Android -> manifest file.

In my case the .gradle installation is empty

in contain

include ':app'

This line indicates that this is an application, if a module than add

include ':module_name'(if not present)

after that Sync Gradle file using Sync_now or sync button

thank
