Change application's starting activity
(13 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
In my new android sudio project I created two activities. The first is the MainActivity and the second is called SecondActivity. The second is more like a sort of menù. Logically, when the app starts, SecondActivity must appear as first.
In the manifest I declared both the activities but I don't know how to declare them correctly so that SecondActivity appears as the first activity in the application after I loaded it on my Android device.
This is my project's manifest :
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".SecondActivity"> </activity>
</application>


Did you tried this, my friend
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"></activity>
<activity android:name=".SecondActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>


Two options...
1) Move the intent filter.
2) Switch the android:name property since ordering does not matter


Try this:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
</activity>
<activity android:name=".SecondActivity"> <intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter></activity>
</application>
The intent-filter tag let you choose trough the action wich activity will be the main.


Simply move the intent filters to the second activity like so:
...
<activity android:name=".SecondActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
...
The parts between the intent-filter tags (<intent-filter> and </intent-filter>) tell Android that this activity should be used when the launcher icon of your app is pressed (i.e. the initial activity).

How can i show my splash screen first without making in Mainacitivity

I made a splash screen class name Splash.class . I didnt make in mainacitivity so how i can I show this at first screen (Opening screen or first screen)
Manifest
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/Theme.LoginApp">
<activity
android:name=".second"
android:exported="true"></activity>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

In order to launch the splash screen first, you have to specify the type of intent by using <intent-filter>. So, adding the below attributes to the activity in your AndroidManifest.xml file will make it launch first:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
In the end, your manifest will look something like this:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/Theme.LoginApp">
<activity
android:name=".second"
android:exported="true"></activity>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:exported="true" />
<activity
android:name=".Splash"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</application>
</manifest>

change your manifest like this
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/Theme.LoginApp">
<activity
android:name=".second"
android:exported="true"></activity>
<activity
android:name="com.your.package.Splash" //put yout class here
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
First time your android will run activity with category LAUNCHER, so change your activity class in category.LAUNCHER with your class (Splash.java)

How to fix Android manifest.xml in android studio to enable indexing?

App is not indexable by Google Search; consider adding at least one Activity with an ACTION-VIEW intent filter. See issue explanation for more details. less... (Ctrl+F1)
Inspection info:Adds URLs to get your app into the Google index, to get installs and traffic to your app from Google Search.
But I Have already considered one activity with an action view intent filter.
Please help.
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".StartActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".RegisterActivity"
android:parentActivityName=".StartActivity"/>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity" />
<activity android:name=".LoginActivity"
android:parentActivityName=".StartActivity"/>
</application>

Add android.intent.action.VIEW into your launcher activity like below.
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>

Just add inside application tag
<application
tools:ignore="GoogleAppIndexingWarning">

<application
android:allowBackup="true"
tools:ignore="GoogleAppIndexingWarning" **// Add this Statement Here,**
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".StartActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".RegisterActivity"
android:parentActivityName=".StartActivity"/>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity" />
<activity android:name=".LoginActivity"
android:parentActivityName=".StartActivity"/>
</application>

lunching icon no create

i facing some problem the lunching icon when i running finish the install the file but the lunching icon is not work. i think is i deleted the Main_Activity by default, but i already at the manifest assign the intent default but still cant create the lunching icon.
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name=".CategoryActivity"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android:intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

You put a : within the <action> tag in the string.
Replace it by a . and it should work :
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

Android: Changing the default acitivity removes access to application

I'm having an issue changing the default activity in my Android manifest
Initially, the MainAcitivity was the default activity but I would like it to change to the LoginActivity. When I do this however, the app disappears from the app drawer. The only way I can access the app information (uninstall, remove data etc) is via the application manager.
I've changed the tags on the LoginActivity entry in the manifest as suggested here but the issue is still there.
Here is a snippet of my current manifest:
<application
android:name=".ui.MyFirebaseApp"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:fullBackupContent="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/title_activity_login"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId" android:value="#string/facebook_app_id"/>
<activity
android:name=".ui.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="COMPANY_app_notification_click_action" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".ui.LoginActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_login"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
How would I get the application back to the app drawer?

New activity seemed to reset default but XML unchanged

Can't figure this one out.
I added a second activity to a project in Android Studio. The second activity is now what launches on the emulator instead of the Main Activity.
Below is the XML in the manifest. Do I somehow need to declare the "get_started" activity as a child of the Main?
<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"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".GetStarted"
android:label="#string/title_activity_get_started"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"></activity>
</application>

Try adding a DEFAULT intent filter to the MainActivity
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
