Manifest Merger failed with multiple errors in Android Studio

Question

 I was experimenting with Intent and I encountered with an error.

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.

> Manifest merger failed with multiple errors, see logs

My build.gradle :

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'


android {

compileSdkVersion 23

buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"


defaultConfig {

    applicationId "com.example.rohan.petadoptionthing"

    minSdkVersion 10

    targetSdkVersion 23

    versionCode 1

    versionName "1.0"

}

buildTypes {

    release {

        minifyEnabled false

        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'

    }

}

}


dependencies {

compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'

}

The AndroidManifest :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Can someone help me with this?

Open application manifest (AndroidManifest.xml)  > Merged Manifest. You can see the error message here in this tab. If you are getting the error from the external library then, you have to let the compiler ignore the attribute from the external library. 
Then add this attribute to the application tag in the manifest.

   tools:replace="android:allowBackup" 
                                                                                                                                          
   //Add this in the manifest tag at the top

   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

I hope this helps.
