How to replace activity in Android library project's manifest with another

I have a child project that contains an activity within its manifest that I would like to use in place of one already defined in the manifest of a library project used by that child project. Is this possible? I thought about using Manifest Merger but can this work if the activities are named differently?

Is it possible to specify a marker that would be used to indicate the one to replace?

If not, can the replacement be done based on category instead?

You were correct about using Manifest Merger. In your projects AndroidManifest.xml file add following statements.

<application>
...
    <activity
          android:name="TheOneToRemove"
          tools:node="remove"/>
    <activity
          android:name="TheOneYouWantToAdd"
          />
...
</application>

This way you will exclude activity from the library and include yours. See this documentation for details.
