Apps Building Android project using Ant tool

shahid106

Lurker
Hello everybody,
I am new in Android application.
I am facing a problem when i am going to build Android project using Ant tool.

I have made a build.xml file and it is giving that BUILD SUCCESSFUL.
But the AndroidManifest.xml file is not adding with the .apk file.
For that when i am going to install the .apk file it is giving the message "AndroidManifest.xml file not found".

I am giving the Build.xml file below.
