Android Manifest
This guide explains the essential elements and attributes that you need to include in your Android Manifest file to deploy an OpenXR application to the Magic Leap 2 device. The Android Manifest file is an XML file that describes the basic characteristics of your application, such as its name, icon, permissions, features, and activities. It is located in the root directory of your project and has the name AndroidManifest.xml. For more information about the general syntax and structure of the Android Manifest file, you can refer to the Android Developer Guide.

Building via Android Studio
Overview
Building via Command Line
This section outlines the steps required to build the Magic Leap OpenXR Samples using the build.py script from the command line. Before attempting to build the samples, please complete the environment setup steps in Environment Setup. The build script uses gradle to build each of the applications.
Environment Setup
This guide walks you through setting up your environment for native development on Magic Leap 2. By the end of the guide, you will have everything necessary to build and run the Magic Leap OpenXR samples, allowing you to explore the capabilities of OpenXR on Magic Leap 2 and develop your own AR applications.
HelloXR Sample Application
Khronos' OpenXR SDK Source repo includes the helloxr sample app. This application can be used as a starting point to understand the basic functionality of OpenXR on a given device.
Magic Leap OpenXR Samples
The Magic Leap Hub (ML Hub) includes a set of samples that demonstrate some of Magic Leap's device specific features. These samples can be downloaded via ML Hub's Package Manager and then built using Android Studio or a command line interface using the build.py script.
