How to make special manifest entries for intel xdk android plugin

Question

I want to use the java plugin in Intel XDK for an Android project. I follow the tutorial on developing smart plugins and am good at developing and using my plugin.

Problem . I have another plugin that needs some specific entries in the manifest file . There is one option / "text field" for entering the manifest file in the Intel XDK, which appears when the plug-in is loaded, and the text field is indicated as "Enter Manifest". I put my manifest file in this text box, but these manifest entries did not take effect. My special manifest entry that I want to make is an activity tag. Please let me know if there are other ways to make these notes.

Plugin documentation refers to creating plugins for the old AppMobi XDK and container. This feature is phasing out and will eventually be replaced by standard Cordova 3.x plugins. Unfortunately, support for Cordova 3.x plugins is not yet available, so we are now in limbo. We will support Cordova plugins in a future version, but the company’s policy does not allow the publication of a release date or a roadmap. When such a feature is supported, it will be posted on the forum and will be highlighted in the release notes.

I am currently planning on investing any time developing plugins in Cordova plugins using the Cordova CLI. When we support the use of these plugins, you can take this code and reuse it with the XDK.
