Manifest file verification error

Question

I need your help. I'm struggling to integrate Scoreloop with a simple Android App (a sort of "Hello World" Android app). I followed all the steps described in the scoreloopUI documentation provided by Scoreloop. To recap:

• I create a simple Android app in Eclipse;
• I imported the scoreloopUI project in Eclipse;
• I went to the properties of my simple project and I linked the scoreloopUI project as a library;
• I added scoreloop.properties file into the Assets folder of my simple project;
• I changed my manifest.xml file adding the entries described in the documentation ("Updating the Android Manifest" part);
• I changed my Activity adding ScoreloopManagerSingleton.init(this, "whatever_your_game_secret_is"); (obviously I changed "whatever_your_game_secret_is" with my real secret).

When I run the program an Exception occurs:

Manifest file verification error. Please resolve any issues first!

Any suggestions? Thank you for helping me!

Answer 1

I am just guessing. Did you check isLibrary option for scoreloopUI project. Select project scoreloopUI, right click, goto Properties --> Android -->at the bottom of android menu you will see isLibrary option tick so that you can it as android library project in other projects

Answer 2

The problem was the fact that in my manifest file there weren't some entries: reading the scoreloopUI documentation you can find the "Updating the Android Manifest" section. In this section some entries are provided, but they are not enough! These are the provided entries:

<!-- Defining the ScoreloopCore activities -->
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.core.ui.ProxyActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>
 <!-- Note: you may need to add more entries here for the payment methods you want to use. -->

 <!-- Defining the ScoreloopUI activities -->
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.EntryScreenActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"/>
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.ShowResultOverlayActivity" android:theme="@style/sl_dialog"/>

 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.market.MarketHeaderActivity"/>
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.market.MarketListActivity"/>
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.entry.EntryListActivity"/>
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.post.PostOverlayActivity" android:theme="@style/sl_dialog"/>
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.score.ScoreHeaderActivity"/>
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.score.ScoreListActivity"/>
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.user.UserAddBuddyListActivity"/>
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.user.UserHeaderActivity"/>
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.user.UserDetailListActivity"/>
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.user.UserListActivity"/>
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.game.GameDetailHeaderActivity"/>
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.game.GameDetailListActivity"/>
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.game.GameListActivity"/>
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.profile.ProfileSettingsListActivity"/>
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.profile.ProfileSettingsPictureListActivity"/>
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.LeaderboardsScreenActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"/>

 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.framework.ScreenActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"/>
 <activity android:name="com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.framework.TabsActivity"/>

Searching on the web, I found this scoreloop class (StandardScoreloopManager). At the bottom of this class there's a function that checks the user's manifest file. Some required entries aren't in the documentation above:

"com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.achievement.AchievementHeaderActivity"
"com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.achievement.AchievementListActivity"
"com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.news.NewsHeaderActivity"
"com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.news.NewsListActivity"
"com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.challenge.ChallengeHeaderActivity"
"com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.challenge.ChallengeListActivity"
"com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.challenge.ChallengeAcceptListActivity"
"com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.challenge.ChallengeCreateListActivity"
"com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.component.challenge.ChallengePaymentActivity"
"com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.BuddiesScreenActivity"
"com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.ChallengesScreenActivity"
"com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.AchievementsScreenActivity"
"com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.SocialMarketScreenActivity"
"com.scoreloop.client.android.ui.ProfileScreenActivity"

Adding these entries in the manifest file solves the issue. Thanks to everyone for the help.
