> {{android-activityName}} in config.xml is undocumented, but it's necessary for making older apps work with the latest version of Cordova; once you've published an app, you can't change the activity name.
> But if you set {{android-activityName="Foo"}}, it will set {{<activity android:name="Foo">}} in the manifest. According to the [Android docs|http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#nm], the value should start with a period, e.g. {{<activity android:name=".Foo">}}.
> I have already published an app with the period, so I have to manually add it to the manifest before publishing.
> Since this could break compatibility with existing apps if you start inserting the period now, maybe a workaround would be: if {{android-activityName}} starts with a period, use it in the manifest, but remove it when creating the Java file.
