Adding application to manifest: attribute Android: name is not allowed here

I'm trying to add an application to my manifest but I receive and error: attribute Android: name is not allowed here

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        package="com.test.app" >

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



  <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:screenOrientation="portrait"
            android:name="com.test.app.activity.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"

you can only have one Application Tag for your Application as demonstrated above,try to use android documentation as much as you can! Best!

attribute Android: name is not allowed here

Because you are trying to add application tag inside application tag which is not allowed in AndroidManifest.xml

Only single application tag is allowed which will contains other application components like Activities, Services, BroadcastReceiver,...

So remove second application tag and add all attribute like name,icon,... in single application :

 <application
        android:name="com.test.app.connection.AppController"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
     <!-- add application components here -->
</application>
