I am trying to generate APK from my source code and getting below errors.

F:\breeze-2019-3-14\app\build\intermediates\merged_manifests\debug\AndroidManifest.xml:88: error: unexpected element <action> found in <manifest><application><activity>.
F:\breeze-2019-3-14\app\build\intermediates\merged_manifests\debug\AndroidManifest.xml:90: error: unexpected element <category> found in <manifest><application><activity>.

Answer 1

Change this portion to

 <activity
        android:name="com.ipsmarx.newdesign.LoginActivity"
        android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
        android:label="@string/app_display_name"
        android:launchMode="singleTask"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait">
       <intent-filter> 
     <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.actions.SEARCH_ACTION" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
  </intent-filter>
    </activity>     

Answer 2

your Manifest.xml is corrupt, this:

 <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.actions.SEARCH_ACTION" />
 <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />

should be (android.intent.action.MAIN is optional):

 <intent-filter>
     <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
     <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.actions.SEARCH_ACTION" />
     <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
 </intent-filter>
