title: Android - Using an Activity without a manifest entry
body: <p>I have been working on a bunch of utility activities. The goal is that the user simply can reuse the source code and there is no need for any layout xml files. Hence, all the layouts are created programmatically. There is no reference to any layout xml file.</p>
  
  <p>The only problem I am running into is that the user is forced to enter the activities in the manifest file.</p>
  
  <p>I am wondering if there is a way to bypass this step by the user. Perhaps the user can call some Init() method in my code that will programmatically add activities to the "manifest" object. There must be some notion of manifest object as Android is looking it up when a new activity is created.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance for your help.</p>
