Yes, It will show handheld device's MainActivity in Watch because you have installed handheld device's apk in Watch. You have to change module from app to wearable for installing like,
Use following module to install,
Instead of following one,

Android studio installing APK on phone but can't find the app

I am new to Android Studio and I am trying to deploy an APK to my mobile device in order to test the app. I build the APK successfully but when I install the apk of the app in my device I couldn't see it or cannot be open. But I can see the apps in the app manager showing that I installed it.
here is the code in my manifest file.
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="Pasig NutriCare"
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.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".SplashActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
Looking for help.
Thanks in advance.
Did you checked Sort / Alphabetical / Custom ?
Also Check AndroidManifest.xml
Main Activity Should Contains :
Like :
<activity android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
So change .SplashActivity to that you want And Remember to place dot . before it as i did
if you use sub Package Name place it , For Example :
your package is : com.example.myapplication
you create sub package as : activities
so in AndroidManifest.xml you have :
<activity android:name=".activities.SplashActivity"
...
</activity>
Make sure you specify the launcher activity for the app in your AndroidManifest.xml file:
<activity android:name=".YOURACTIVITY" android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Did you specify the launcher activity for the app (in the AndroidManifest.xml)? If all else fails, you can also install the app manually using ADB (android debug bridge)
To install manually, Run this command from terminal/command prompt
adb install path_to_apk

Android App not installed with USB debug

I have a problem when I try to debug the App on my Phone. The App works, but It is not installed on the device. When I created the project I selected a project without Activity (option: "Add No Activity"). If I create an App with a blank Activity, this is installed when I launch the debug. I'm using Android Studio for the project.
What can I do? Thanks!
Because you have to Specify Your App's Launcher Activity. You should put this line into your manifest in actvity tag like this, For more reference check this link Specify Your App's Launcher Activity
<activity
android:name=".DemoActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateVisible" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.categor.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Problem solved!
Android Studio is stupid, it adviced me to write this in capital letters
<action android:name="ANDROID.INTENT.ACTION.MAIN" />
<category android:name="ANDROID.INTENT.CATEGORY.LAUNCHER" />
instead
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

Problems when running or debugging application

Normally when I run or debugg my application, it unistalls the old version, installs new version and finally it runs the new application, same process when I debug. Some days ago my eclipse started to work in a different way, it installs my application but it does not get ran. Before intalling I get this LogCat:
No Launcher activity found!
The launch will only sync the application package on the device!
Here my Manifest:
<activity
android:name="com.company.app.activities.WelcomeActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
<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>
</activity>
Can anybody help me with this? If I want to run the applications it's not a problem because I just have to do it manually but I can not debug.
Remove the follwing line from your manifest and try ,
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />

no launcher activity found smartatch

I'm trying to run sample for Sony site.
I attached SmartExtensionAPI and SmartExtensionUtils. I used Properties->Android->Library and checked is library.
When I ran a sample (for example HelloWidget) on Eclipse, I get this error on the console:
HelloWidget] No Launcher activity found!
HelloWidget] The launch will only sync the application package on the device!
But the installation is done... I can see the application is installed on my smartphone and I can see too on SmartConnect but not in the smartwatch.
Does anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong ?
EDIT:
AndroidManifest.xml
<activity android:name="com.example.sonymobile.smartextension.hellowidget.HelloWidgetPreferenceActivity"
android:label="#string/preference_activity_title" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
This is because no activity had set as a launcher to run when app is launched
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
no intent filter will be there in the code's manifest, just check it.

No Launcher activity found, The launch will only sync the application package on the device

I got this warning from console when running my application on emulator
No Launcher activity found!
The launch will only sync the application package on the device!
In fact i have declared an activity as the main launcer in AndroidManifest.xml file
<activity
android:name=".myActivity"
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 don't need any other intent-filter to use on that activity.. just basic main and launcher
What's the reason? Please give me a solution..
If the launcher activity is in another package, you will need to specify that as well.
For instance, from one of my personal projects:
<activity
android:name=".activities.MainScreen"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
The MainScreen.java is in the activities package. Also, check spelling for upper or lower case letters.
It seems that you must have "android.intent.action.MAIN" specified immediately before "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER". I encountered the same issue as you when I had the following:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
The issue was resolved only when I re-orderd as follows:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
In all normal circumstances, listen to what the other guy(s) said.
I was able to replicate your issue using a Mac Book Pro & Eclipse Indigo. when you create your android project, you MUST have Eclipse start you off with a templated activity (like a blank activity). if you don't, and you try to add an activity to your manifest later, Eclipse just derps and can't find the launcher. (i looked at other manifest files and i can't see any differences. i really don't think it's your poor manifest's fault in this special case.)
here's your lazy easy fix:
start a new project, and copy over all the files (make sure you back up ur files first, in case you delete something wrong or mess up the ordering)
Using Eclipse Indigo, open Run Configurations windows, click the project and use launch default activity on Android tab, choose Automatically pick compatible device...and apply.
