Can't find launch activity - android

I removed these 2 lines from my android manifest file. Then I found them in internet and paste it to manifest file. And now my app can't find them. When I run my app says that there is no launcher activity and that may be I want to launch default activity.What can I do?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.amadey.myapplication3" >
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".HomeScreen">
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>


You have a doubly-nested intent-filter element in your manifest:
<intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</intent-filter>
It needs to look like this:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>


Because an intent filter was surrounded with another intent filter, just like this:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>

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" />

<intent-filter>

</>
</manifest>

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

No Launcher Activity Found even though there is [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
No Launcher activity found
(2 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
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>

My App Installs Two Applications - Android

Whenever I try to run my App, it installs two app in the emulator/device. I only want to Install my Main Activity, but the Splash Activity installs also. I know the problem is in the Manifest. Can anyone help me please? Here is my code:
<activity
android:name="com.android.upcurrents.launcher.SplashActivity"
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="com.android.upcurrents.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" />

You need to have only one activity to be declared as the launcher. So, remove the intent-filter from within the SplashActivity's tag, and add it to your MainActivity. The Launcher intent-filter should be present in only one of the activities in your manifest file.

It installs based on the intent filter you have provided.
Remove the following intent filter from SplashActivity and then put it in Main Activity
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>

try this:
<activity
android:name="com.android.upcurrents.launcher.SplashActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.android.upcurrents.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>

I had this same problem but I fixed it with the making sure you only have one activity with:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
In my code I had two activities with that intent-filter, which caused two applications to be installed on my device.

We have the same problem but i fixed it this way
before my code below in manifest
<application
android:debuggable="true"
android:allowBackup="true">
<activity android:name=".SplashActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.noupdate.apptest_noupdate.MainActivity"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
Notice that in the SplashActivity inside the intent is this code
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
i only deleted the category
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
So after i deleted the intent-filter category in splash it didn't install two app icon but only one for main the code will be like this notice that the intent-filter category is deleted
<application
android:debuggable="true"
android:allowBackup="true">
<activity android:name=".SplashActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.noupdate.apptest_noupdate.MainActivity"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
it really helps

Help on Tab Layout example

New bee to Android, I need help on creating tabs.
I am following the example stated in http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html
When I run the application, I am not seeing any tabs but only Songs tab.
I am not able to figure out how to resolve this.
Below code is added under AndriodManifest.xml
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".HelloTabWidget"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
</activity>
<activity android:name=".AlbumsActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.example.TabWidget.AlbumsActivity" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".ArtistsActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.example.TabWidget.AlbumsActivity" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".SongsActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.example.TabWidget.AlbumsActivity" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

Make it look something like this:
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".HelloTabWidget"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".AlbumsActivity"/>
<activity android:name=".ArtistsActivity"/>
<activity android:name=".SongsActivity"/>
</application>
This part:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
is for the entry part of your app.

here is a very simple example for tab-layout:
