Error parsing the package - android

This error keeps comes on my phone but it did not come before,I saw all the stack overflow methods but non of them could help me.
I get this error when I test the app from android studio to my phone.I tried on other phones too but still the problem exist.
This is my manifest:

Main tag of manifest file must be manifest. Instead of xml tag, write something like:

</application>
</manifest>


As you are using Android Studio, I believe that you are likely have the problem mentioned in this question, and as mentioned here in the answer this error happens when you change the build version for your project (like downgrading or upgrading):
I've been working on this same exact problem for the last 8
hours...you've had no issues after rolling back from 2.0 to 1.5.1?
I've noticed that, even with the error, running the app works fine
sometimes.
so you have to make sure that there is no problem with the new release you are using, then you have to clean and rebuild your project again like mentioned here.
Or you can use the following hint from this answer:
Remove the .idea folder and gradle folder, then click button sync
project with gradle gradle files, after this process finished, you are
able to run your app as normal.

Set default activity, execute before main Activity

I want to make register_activity is first run if application open. But, still MainActivity run first. Can anybody help me to fix this.
This is my Manifest :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.client18.dd">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.NoActionBar">
<activity android:name=".register_activity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".signup_activity">
</activity>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

When I see your Manifest file I can not see any faults. I suggest to do followings.
1) Uninstall app in emulator / device if its exists, and then run application.
or
2) Rebuild project with cleaning ( Build > Clean Project )
P.S.
If you could practice signup_activity > SignupActivity it is nice and best practice.

Running app gives 2 app icons in Android Studio

I am running an app in Android Studio and it gives 2 app icons in Androi Studio.
Also, I have moved from Eclipse to Android Studio and now I'm having trouble with how to make the color of logcat same as in Eclipse.
My question is that there are 2 app icons when I run the app, and when I uninstall it, 2 of them have been removed. Is that normal in Android Studio?
I have found that Android Studio can copy keys from Eclipse.

I though this is normal in android studio. Running an app gives 2 launcher icons.
PS:
my AndroidManifest.xml is inside main folder and I used eclipse to export to gradle build.
Im using Android Studio 0.8.6
thanks.

I got it! yes at last , i have to study gradles and stuff.
Actually I have 2 android projects inside the Project, one is a library and the other one is the main app.
I found out that when i imported those projects Android Studio (I exported the lib to gradle build from eclipse) doesn't care if that is a lib project or a main project. (Correct me if im wrong ).
so the only thing to make it work is to remove the intent-filter of that lib-android-project.
EDIT:
#all
solved it ! thanks to everyone, I never knew there was another AndroidManifest.xml , i thought eclipse removed it. and i thought Exporting it to gradle will remove it because it is checked as a library.
thanks for all your help.

The <intent-filter> that affects creating multiple launcher icon is the following one:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
Android Studio's manifest merger will always combine <intent-filter>s in library projects into main project's manifest. You may end up having multiple LAUNCHER intents in your synthesized manifest, thus having multiple launcher icons. To avoid this, simply remove the LAUNCHER intents from the library projects' manifest.

You declare two intent filter, used only one Intent filter in the activity, on AndroidManifest.
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
If you used two or more intent filter in AndroidManifest, then you will have two app icon, So remove it & set one intent filter.
I hove this is usedful to you.

i agree, since i made 2 activity(one for splash, one for main). In manifest i forgot to delete
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
so in the end when i install app, i will have 2 app.

There is most likely an imported Library project that has this intent filter.
1. Open your app manifest
2. At the bottom left click on "Merged Manifest"
3. Search and find which library project has the attribute
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
4. Remove it and ensure that now the filter is only on your App's <Application >class activity.

In my case, it was just because, in the manifest file, two activities were declared as launcher. Actually, I clicked on the launcher checkbox while making new activity, thinking it will transfer the launcher tag from the previous activity to this, but it created both activities as launchers.

When running android and doing debug, there is an another AndroidManifest.xml under src/debug. Make sure this manifest file matches the main one under src/main.

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<!You need to delete launcher intent filter from every other activity ->
</activity>
The "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" intent filter decides which activity will launch when you tap on the application icon. If there are more than 1 entries, OS will create more than one app icon after installation. You need to make sure that there is a single entry of above intent filter in the Manifest file.

App Not Showing in Apps

I'm debugging using my Samsung Galaxy S5 and every time I run it through Android Studio it works fine and it pops up the app, but then when I click out of it it doesn't show in all of my apps like other apps I've installed to my device. The app will show in my task manager after I close out of it but it still won't show in all of my apps. Really could use some help on this one, thanks.
This is my manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="us.bisonsoftware.tab" >
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="Husky Athletics"
android:theme="#style/CustomActionBarTheme">
<activity
android:name=".TabBarExample"
android:label="Husky Athletics"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<data android:scheme="geo"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".FirstTab" />
<activity android:name=".SecondTab" />
<activity android:name=".ThirdTab" />
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" ></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"></uses-permission>

Try to make your activity name complete like this:
<activity
android:name="com.example.myapp.TabBarExample"
... >
</activity>
I dont know your package name. You have to fill it by yourself.

I followed this tutorial and now everything is fine:

app not starting, despite loading successfully

I am getting a strange issue, please see if anyone can help here. Whenever I run my app (either in emulator or in phone), I can see the installation goes successful but the activity does not show up. Following is the message I get in the Console.
------------------------------
Android Launch!
adb is running normally.
Performing sync
Uploading MyApp.apk onto device 'emulator-5554'
Installing MyApp.apk...
Success!
\MyApp\bin\MyApp.apk installed on device
Done!
It was running normally before but since yesterday, it has started to behave like this. Ideally after "Success!" statement, the intent gets loaded and MainActivity shows up. But not anymore. I tried restarting/recreating emulator but no help. The only change I had done in my app was to create some xml files for titlebar. I even undid that change but still the same issue. Any help is appreciated.

Does your app run correctly when you run it from the phone directly? If so, perhaps you accidently changed the run configuration from eclipse to launch other activity than you MainActivity. This affect running from eclipse via the debug interface.

Looks like the problem was more while running the app from eclipse. Installing the apk file in phone was working fine. I deleted the AVDs and recreated them. Also I noticed that my app had reference to android ver 4.3 whereas the intel atom image was not available for that version. hence I downgraded it to 4.2.2. With these changes done, the app started loading normally. Not really what was the root cause, but something to do with the AVD was the issue.
