Re: [android-developers] Re: Android libraries

That's correct.

At the moment the manifest of the library is only used to compile the
resource of the library and figure out its package name, so it doesn't
need to contain permissions, activities, services, etc... used by the
library.

However, all projects using the library must include those in their
own manifest.

In the future (hopefully not too distant) we'll be able to merge the
content of the library manifest so that you don't have to do it
manually for all projects using the library.
