Reading the Meta-Data information from AndroidManifest #1860
Description
For the creation of some plugins, it is very useful to be able to read the Meta-Data information from the AndroidManifest file.
For instance, in the implementation of a plugin that integrates with Facebook SDK, it is very useful to validate the correct configuration of the Application:
final String FACEBOOK_APP_ID_NAME = "com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId";
final String facebookAppIdValue = getEnvironment().getAndroidManifest().getMetaDataQualifiedNames().get(FACEBOOK_APP_ID_NAME);
if (facebookAppIdValue == null) {
valid.addError(
"Your application must include the meta-data named " + FACEBOOK_APP_ID_NAME + "." +
"\nEx. <meta-data android:name=\"com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId\"" +
"\n android:value=\"<Your Facebook App Id>\"/>"
);
}
final String FACEBOOK_LOGIN_ACTIVITY_NAME = "com.facebook.LoginActivity";
if (!getEnvironment().getAndroidManifest().getComponentQualifiedNames().contains(FACEBOOK_LOGIN_ACTIVITY_NAME)) {
valid.addError(
"Your application must declare " + FACEBOOK_LOGIN_ACTIVITY_NAME + " activity." +
"\nEx. <activity android:name=\"com.facebook.LoginActivity\"/>"
);
}I did already an implementation for this feature, adding a getMetaDataQualifiedNames method to the AndroidManifest 86f6f18
There's many 3rd parties libraries that check for Meta-Data information, this would facilitate the integration and validations with such libraries.
