Package com.android.manifmerger

Class ActionRecorder

java.lang.Object
com.android.manifmerger.ActionRecorder
public class ActionRecorder extends Object
Records all the actions taken by the merging tool.

Each action generates at least one Actions.Record containing enough information to generate a machine or human readable report.

The records are not organized in a temporal structure as the merging tool takes such decisions but are keyed by xml elements and attributes. For each node (elements or attributes), a linked list of actions that happened to the node is recorded to display all decisions that were made for that particular node.

This structure will permit displaying logs with co-located decisions records for each element, for instance : 

 activity:com.foo.bar.MyApp
     Added from manifest.xml:31
     Rejected from lib1_manifest.xml:65

Each record for a node (element or attribute) will contain the following metadata :

  • Actions.ActionType to identify whether the action applies to an attribute or an element.
  • SourceFilePosition to identify the source xml location for the node.

Elements will also contain:

  • Element name : a name composed of the element type and its key.
  • NodeOperationType the highest priority tool annotation justifying the merging tool decision.

While attributes will have:

  • element name
  • attribute name : the namespace aware xml name
  • AttributeOperationType the highest priority annotation justifying the merging tool decision.
