The Application [Manifest](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/2614/how-to-define-an-activity-as-launcher-activity-in-application-manifest-file) [File](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/59/encrypting-and-decrypting-files-using-c-sharp) in Android :

This is a service provider for android in field of security.in this sequence we create a protection layer for our application using files storage in mainfest.Every project in Android includes a manifest file,which is AndroidManifest.xml,stored in the root directory of its project. The manifest file is a core of our app because it's defines the structure of our application,components and its requirements.it's special for application.

Example :

```
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     package="com.paad.myapp"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="0.9 Beta"
    android:installLocation="preferExternal">
</manifest>
```

//Uses of SDK

```
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=”6”
        android:targetSdkVersion=”15”/>
```

//application

```
<application android:icon="@mindstick/icon"
             android:logo-"@mindstick/logo"
             android:theme="@mindstick:style/Theme.Light"
             android:name=".MyApplicationClass"
             android:debuggable="true">
</application>
```
