My application is installed on real device as well on emulator but it does not display on my device screen as well on emulator screen. I mean to say here that whenever an app is run or installed on a device it opens up but here my app does not open it just installed and no error are shown or forced stop is not there. I even checked my download file where every app info is shown and it is present there. Can anyone help???? Thank you in advance.
This is my Manifest file

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>
More information here: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/activity-lifecycle/starting.html
If you have <data android:mimeType="image/*" /> in intent filter of your Launcher activity, then remove it.
just place following two lines < action and category) as:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
If you can see it in app list, but not shown on app screen, so I suppose you could be just missing 'android:icon="#drawable/your_app_icon"' setting in your manifest file.

My application icon no longer appears on my android phone screen when I debug like it used to. I know this has something to do with the androidmanifest.xml file. I've looked up several solutions for me but those solutions resulted in my application being unable to even run in the first place.
What could be the problem here?
I have tried the solutions mentioned here:
Android Studio: App icon doesn't appear in the home screen or app list
Launcher icon missing in Android
This is my android manifest file:

I think the problem is in the line,
android:icon="#drawable/exersize"
In the application tag, app icon must he placed in the mipmap folder as it meant for the app icon only. Mipmap must have all scales of the icon.
after install my app on my device, she runs without problems, but when i want to access the app from the home menu apps, the icon doesnt appear, i look into aplication manager and the app is installed, I read others responses about that but cant figure it out, heres my manifies file.

Ill appreciate your help please
you missed an intent filter tag
<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.VIEW"/>
<data android:scheme="geo"/>
</intent-filter>
This will solve the problem.You are giving two actions in the same intent filter which was causing the problem.
I developed an application with Android studio and there is a very strange behavior:
After the installation I cant see the application (not the icon nor the name) in all apps list, but I can see that in recent apps and in manage apps.
I sent the APK to myself in email and after the installation the open option was disabled.
I checked the ic_launcher icons and they are fine.
What can cause that? Any ideas?
EDIT:

</activity>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation"/>
<activity android:name=".LoginActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
android:configChanges="orientation"/>
</application>
</manifest>
For me having the following lines in the intent-filter were enough to make the ICON appear in the launcher with the other apps
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
When you open the apk, that was sent by email or transfer to your phone you will see the INSTALL option and after succesfully installed the OPEN option is there.
Put tags at two intent-filters like here
<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>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<data android:scheme="http" android:host="qr_3d.com"/>
<data android:scheme="https" android:host="qr_3d.com"/>
<data android:scheme="app" android:host="qr_3d.com"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Make sure the filter is as
should be MAIN and not activity_main, etc.
also remove min / max SDK setting line...
This worked for me
I am developing an app and I am trying to share it with a couple of friends so they can test it. I created a key using this http://www.androiddevelopment.org/tag/apk/ method. The app installs on phone without a problem, but when I actually click on the icon to launch the app, it says "Application Not Installed". This is super weird considering the fact that I see it in my list of applications and there is an icon in my app drawer. What is happening? I answer the question at the bottom of the page. This is the new XML file that works fine.

I discovered what the problem was. When I wanted to export the app directly through Eclipse(also adding the keystore and everything) I went into the packages options and I renamed the package through the options. That apparently did not rename everything and it was also inserting .R into all of my classess. Also, when you rename the package, the package import in your classess will stay the same. When renaming, be sure that EVERYTHING is changed appropriately, as apparently this is a known bug in Eclipse. This was in turn causing that weird error because of the different packages that did not match the packages inside... Super weird.
Newb question. How can you know what the main launch Activity is? Learning Android.
Assuming this is for your code, check out the manifest.xml and look for this element:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
It should be contained within <Activity> ... </Activity> tags, and that Activity is the one that a user can launch from their phone.
You have to put the right intent tag on the activity in the manifest:
<activity android:name=".SomeActivity"
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 main activity can be considered the one which handles the initial screen of the application you're creating.

</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".yourSubActivity" android:label="#string/<ActivityName>"> </activity>
...list of other activities...
</application>
</manifest>
The main activity can be found and set in AndroidManifest.xml; look for
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
The <activity> with that action is the main activity (is the entry point for the app).
You can look into AndroidManifest.xml in your porject
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
This will help you to find Launch activity.
