### Answer by Prateek sharma

You always need to declare your activity in **Android Manifest** file

```
<manifest….>
<application…>
<activity
     android:name="com.example.name.AppName"
     android:label="@string/app_name>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
```

Since **manifest** file contains in the root directory of your **application**, it provides various information such as minimum **Android API level**, it also describes the various **Android components** such as activities, services, broadcast receivers, and content providers. It also describes all the **permission needed** for your app to [access](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81917/what-is-mobile-cloning-technology-which-gives-access-to-whatsapp-chats) various services like **internet**, **camera**, or **some hardware component**.
