Launch my App Activity on Home key pressed

Launch my App Activity on Home key pressed - android

I am developing a Launcher app for Android TV and want to override the functionality of Home button. I want to bring my Application's Activity to top when Home button is pressed so that it acts as default launcher. I tried this Android Studio TV remote buttons but did not work. It is definitely possible because there are button mapper apps on the PlayStore. I have this in my AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Creating a default launcher app for Android Not Working

I created a default launcher app for an Android TV box that used to work until I ran into some unexpected issues and had to reset the TV Box to factory default. Now it doesn't work anymore. I used to get a "Select Default Launcher" popup when pressing back from my app, but not anymore.

Please help.

Does <data android:host="www.calender.com" android:scheme="http"></data> make application invisible?

I have used implicit intents in order to open my application when some one clicks on a URL in other application,I am unable to see the deployed application's icon.After deploying my aplication if i go back and try to find my application i am un able to find it.But it's in the recent app's.This is the code in the android manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.mindtree.calender">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALENDAR" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:host="www.calender.com" android:scheme="http"></data>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

You have to add a separate intent filter inside your activity tag:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.mindtree.calender">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALENDAR" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:host="www.calender.com" android:scheme="http" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

App icon does not display in applications (on home screen)

My app used to work just fine, its icon displayed when installed in applications and it was uploaded to the Play Store. Now when I install it, it is like invisible, and in the Play Store it just says Uninstall, not open. What would be the reason for this?
Thanks.

This problem occurs when you include the <data> element in the same intent-filter as your action.MAIN, which does not expect any data.
You could try splitting the intent-filter like this:
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="redacted.MainActivity" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="http"/>
<data android:scheme="https"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

Please write the following specific to some Activity

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
For example in your case

<!--Viewer filter-->
