Hi,

I was following the getting started tutorial onthe following link. After following all the step when I try to run the app, I get error in AndroidManifest.xml file. The file get edited every time the build is run in the android studio.

here is the final .xml file. There error is at line 31

AAPT: error: unexpected element <intent-filter> found in <manifest><application>.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong happaning here?
