Really Blank Activity

Question

Firstly thanks to Mark Murphy, regarding comment 10 and the link to a really blank activity template in Android Issue 67513

Now the question regarding the new template: Is it intended that it should still create a new appcompat_v7_n+1 library project?

When I tried it, one was created. I deleted it, removed the reference from the blank activity project, then had to delete references to appcompat styles in the values folders and a style in the manifest.

Don't get me wrong, doing that was no big deal and it's a vast improvement but I'm wondering if that was intended.

Crap.

The new-project wizard adds some of that. I thought it was all in the new-activity wizard, which also adds some of that when using the stock templates.

I'll need to fork the NewAndroidApplication template to get rid of those bits. I'll work on that. I've added a note to the project README in the interim.

Thanks for pointing this out!
