Hi,

How do I include stuff into the android manifest file?

I want to restrict app to tablets where screen width greater than 600, example;

<supports-screens android:smallScreens=“false” 

                    android:normalScreens="false"

                    android:largeScreens="true

                    android:xlargeScreens="true"

                    android:requiresSmallestWidthDp=“600” /> 

How to do??

hmmm, actually no. Google Play will not list as Designed For Tablets.

I need to add this into the manifest - how to?

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=“11”
          android:targetSdkVersion=“11” />

More generally, why can’t the manifest be generated/edited… this seems like an obvious and necessary thing to allow.

Is there a way to pass things through your process into the manifest? This is a big problem.

Corona SDK controls the minimum SDK value.  You cannot set it.  

As for why, part of its a support issue.  Part of it’s a signing issue.  I think you have to resign the app after unzipping the .apk.  There are changes you can make there that would prevent your app from running.

If you need that level of control, we offer Corona Enterprise where you build with ant and have full access to your android build process.

Corona is write-once-run-anywhere, but some things, like this need to be different. Can’t you guys make it so that manifest files can be specifically included, rather than generated?

To be honest, this kind of undermines the whole concept, because it’s write once, frig, frig and frig again.
