The ＜activity＞ element must be a direct child of the ＜application＞ element

xml代码错误使用1

<application
        android:name=".InitApplication"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.MapsCOV"/>
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity"
            >
 </activity>

错误使用2

<application
        android:name=".InitApplication"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.MapsCOV"/>
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity"
            />

代码正确使用1

<application
        android:name=".InitApplication"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.MapsCOV">
        
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity"
            />
    </application>

正常使用2

<application
        android:name=".InitApplication"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.MapsCOV">
        
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
        </activity>
    </application>

在application后面自动生成通常是

<application adroid:name="."
/>

这种情况，如果要使用activity
需将activity自动生成的 “/” 放到外面改成</application>

<application>
<activity android:name=" ">

</activity>
</application>
