             Summary: android-activityName doesn't value correctly
                 Key: CB-10917
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10917
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Android
    Affects Versions: 5.1.1
            Reporter: Jacob Weber
            Priority: Minor


{{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.
