Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'. Manifest merger failed with multiple errors, see logs

My code was compiling before but stopped working and is giving this error

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.
> Manifest merger failed with multiple errors, see logs

log

java.lang.RuntimeException: Activity name cannot be empty. at com.android.tools.idea.model.MergedManifest$ActivityAttributes.(MergedManifest.java:579) at com.android.tools.idea.model.MergedManifest.syncWithReadPermission(MergedManifest.java:418) at com.android.tools.idea.model.MergedManifest.access$000(MergedManifest.java:55) at com.android.tools.idea.model.MergedManifest$1.run(MergedManifest.java:331) at com.intellij.openapi.application.impl.ApplicationImpl.runReadAction(ApplicationImpl.java:945) at com.android.tools.idea.model.MergedManifest.sync(MergedManifest.java:328) at com.android.tools.idea.model.MergedManifest.getActivities(MergedManifest.java:464) at com.android.tools.idea.run.activity.DefaultActivityLocator.lambda$computeDefaultActivity$97(DefaultActivityLocator.java:78) at com.intellij.openapi.project.DumbService$1.run(DumbService.java:89)

my manifest 

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:header=".MyApplication"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <activity
        android:header=".ui.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:header="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:header="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:header=".ui.ResponseActivity"
        android:label="@string/title_item_detail"
        android:parentActivityName=".ui.MainActivity"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
        <meta-data
            android:header="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
            android:value=".ui.MainActivity" />
    </activity>
</application>

what could be the cause of this?

Use this for your main activity because name field is required to identify an activity not the header so replace every header with name field

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

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

instead of this

<intent-filter>
    <action android:header="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

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

So it will

<activity
    android:name=".ui.MainActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

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

and do the same for other activities too

You have to write android:name=".ui.activityName" in your activity tag of manifest file for each of the activity.

Hope this helps!
