Pasting to AndroidManifest.xml, freezes android studio? Why is this?

[allan.conda]

Trying to change AndroidManifest also happens consistently for me for the Preview build. I use the stable version to update it as workaround

[andylamax]

Stable versions don't suffer from this issue at all? I am using AS4.1C8

[allan.conda]

I use the same version as you 😄 . Yes not occuring on AS4.0Stable

[andylamax]

Thanks, will have to download 4.0 then

Have had same issue for some months ago. There are som manifest migration going on behind the scene, that may be the one to blaim. Will scan through my issuetracker posts to see if I can find it.

Here is the one I filed: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/139326387, and which is a duplicate of this one: https://issuetracker.google.com/138502756. They where actually nearly a year old.

You should file your problem in issuetracker, and maybe put in those links I mentioned above. They may be related somehow.

BTW, you can rightclick the manifest file and select "Show in Explorer" and open it in a notepad. Change it there. Restart AS, and reopen the project. This was one of my tricks to comply with this situation. It worked most of the time.

In the latter link above, there is a suggested workaround, you could try that one also.

Thanks @Roar Gronmo definitely using the notepad trick. Since there is a reported issue nearly 1 year back, I won't even bother filling an issue. I will just upvote to the ones available

@andylamax you should file one anyway, so they know this is a current problem in the version you are using. It is more likely they address it and fixes it faster then.
