manifest （船运的）载货清单

http://www.android-doc.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro.html

Every application must have an AndroidManifest.xml file (with precisely that name) in its root directory. The manifest presents essential information about the application to the Android system, information the system must have before it can run any of the application's code. Among other things, the manifest does the following:

  • It names the Java package for the application. The package name serves as a unique identifier for the application.
  • It describes the components of the application — the activities, services, broadcast receivers, and content providers that the application is composed of. It names the classes that implement each of the components and publishes their capabilities (for example, which Intent messages they can handle). These declarations let the Android system know what the components are and under what conditions they can be launched.
  • It determines which processes will host application components.
  • It declares which permissions the application must have in order to access protected parts of the API and interact with other applications.
  • It also declares the permissions that others are required to have in order to interact with the application's components.
  • It lists the Instrumentation classes that provide profiling and other information as the application is running. These declarations are present in the manifest only while the application is being developed and tested; they're removed before the application is published.
  • It declares the minimum level of the Android API that the application requires.
  • It lists the libraries that the application must be linked against.
------------------越是喧嚣的世界，越需要宁静的思考------------------ 合抱之木，生于毫末；九层之台，起于垒土；千里之行，始于足下。 积土成山，风雨兴焉；积水成渊，蛟龙生焉；积善成德，而神明自得，圣心备焉。故不积跬步，无以至千里；不积小流，无以成江海。骐骥一跃，不能十步；驽马十驾，功在不舍。锲而舍之，朽木不折；锲而不舍，金石可镂。蚓无爪牙之利，筋骨之强，上食埃土，下饮黄泉，用心一也。蟹六跪而二螯，非蛇鳝之穴无可寄托者，用心躁也。
