Error running wear default device not found

I've created an android application and am now getting an "Error running wear, default device not found" error message. I can't think of anything I have done or changed that has made this start.
I have closed Android studio and re opened it
I've invalidated the caches and restarted
I've run a lint check
Looked at this question Android Studio cannot find default activity
Still no joy however.
My manifest is below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.james.testing">
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.type.watch" />
<application

android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"

Try changing the theme to something basic for now and see if it works.

Android Studio doesn't install app with launcher, app only visible in app settings

Android Studio doesn't install app properly. It's not visible in the apps launcher. Already tried to keep only MAIN and LAUNCHER intent filter.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
android:name=".App">
<activity
android:name=".ui.main.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_navigation_drawer" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category>
<data android:scheme="mainactivity" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".ui.web.WebViewActivity"/>
</application>

The solution was to define intent filters seperately:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
android:name=".App">
<activity
android:name=".ui.main.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_navigation_drawer" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category>
<data android:scheme="mainactivity" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".ui.web.WebViewActivity"/>
</application>

No app is going to know how to launch any of your activities. Most are private to your app, and MainActivity has a very broken <intent-filter>.
Here is my guess as to the manifest entry you should have for that activity:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:mimeType="audio/mp3"/>
<data android:mimeType="text/plain"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
This says "either match MAIN/LAUNCHER or match SEND/DEFAULT/one of the MIME types".

Why app will not create icon if add "<data android:scheme="file"/>" in AndroidManifest.xml?

I add <data android:scheme="file"/> to AndroidMainfest.xml, then my app doesn't create icon in desktop after install. Why?
Here is the AndroidMainfest.xml:
<application android:name="FileManagerApplication"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name=".tvfileexplorer.folders.FolderActivity"
android:theme="#style/AppTranslucentTheme"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<data android:scheme="file"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

This is a copy of my AndroidManifest.xml
Any help as to why the launcher is not being recognized? I tried running the code without applying DEFAULT to any other activity but it's still not working.
enter code here
<application
<activity
android:name="project.shirsho.Menu"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="project.shirsho.MENU" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="project.shirsho.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="project.shirsho.MAINACTIVITY" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="project.shirsho.Splash"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="project.shirsho.Textplay"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.TEXTPLAY" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

You need to specify the MAIN and LAUNCHER in the the intent filter for the activity you want to start on launch by :
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
if you want that Splach Activity as your launcher , your manifest must be :
<application>
<activity
android:name="project.shirsho.Menu"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="project.shirsho.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="project.shirsho.Splash"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="project.shirsho.Textplay"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
</activity>
</application>

I believe that you are trying to make "project.shirsho.Menu" as the launcher activity, then it should be like:
<activity
android:name="project.shirsho.Menu"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
change,
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="project.shirsho.MENU" />
to
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
Hope this helps! :)

This is how your application part should look like. If you use eclipse to develop in it will help you create this (androidManifest.xml)
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
