What are the main components used in the AndroidManifest.xml file?

The main components in the AndroidManifest.xml file include:

• <application> — describes the application, its icons, themes, components, and permissions.
• <activity> — defines an application's screen (activity).
• <service> — describes background services.
• <receiver> — specifies a BroadcastReceiver for handling system or user events.
• <provider> — describes a ContentProvider for data exchange between applications.
• <intent-filter> — specifies which intents a component can receive.
• <uses-permission> — indicates permissions required by the application.

Example:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.app">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

    <application
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name">

        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">

                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
