HTML5 & Hybrid Step-I issue building project in Android Studio?

There are issues in compiling the project in Android Studio 2.3.3.
1. AndroidManifest.xml has issues as per attached screenshot. I was not having any icons folders in res folder so I copied from other locations but now getting these errors of invalid character.

2. I could see multiple AndroidManifest files in my whole project tree. I have copied one from ...platform/android directory to root.

Please help if you have already completed this step. I am really frustrated now spending many days but no luck till now.

ndroidManifest.xml having issues

Thanks
