[SOLVED] XMLStart insert a line in XML file

Issue

This is how my XML looks like.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<manifest android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:versionCode="xxxxxxxx" android:versionName="xxxxx" package="xxxxxx" xmlns:android="xxxxxxxxxxxxxx">
    <application android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:supportsRtl="true">
    </application>
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.front" android:required="false" />
</manifest>

I need to add the below line after the <application

android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config" android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"

So, the output should look like

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<manifest android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:versionCode="xxxxxxxx" android:versionName="xxxxx" package="xxxxxx" xmlns:android="xxxxxxxxxxxxxx">
    <application android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config" android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:supportsRtl="true">
    </application>
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.front" android:required="false" />
</manifest>

I've tried sed command but still no luck. everybody suggests to use XMLSTART.

sed -i '/<application/a android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config" android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"' AndroidManifest.xml

Solution

This might look like:

xmlstarlet ed \
  -i '/manifest/application' -t attr -n android:networkSecurityConfig -v '@xml/network_security_config' \
  -i '/manifest/application' -t attr -n android:requestLegacyExternalStorage -v true \
  <in.xml >out.xml
