What is an Android Manifest Validator?

The Android Manifest Validator is a free online tool that checks your AndroidManifest.xml for common structural errors and missing fields. The manifest is the central configuration file for Android apps — it declares the app package name, permissions, components (activities/services/receivers), and platform requirements.

What does it do?

  • Validates the XML parses correctly (no broken tags or invalid nesting)
  • Checks for a proper <manifest> root and required fields like package
  • Warns about missing namespace declarations and common missing blocks like uses-sdk
  • Summarizes permissions and whether a launcher activity is detected
  • Formats the XML for readability

How to use it

  1. Step 1: Paste your manifest XML or upload a text .xml file.
  2. Step 2: Click Validate to generate a report.
  3. Step 3: Use Format to reformat the input into clean, readable XML.
  4. Step 4: Copy the report for QA notes or bug reports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this tool validate an APK’s embedded AndroidManifest.xml?

APK manifests are usually stored as binary AXML. This validator targets the text XML form (from source, decompiled output, or copied manifest). For APK-level decoding, use tools like Apktool.

Does DroidXP upload my manifest?

No. The validation runs in your browser.
