I have never fully understood the manifest or how to add items to it. I have the manifest here that is working but I want to change something and I do not know what to change. Here is the manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.magicbuddy.gamble"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.magicbuddy.gamble.Splash"
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.magicbuddy.gamble.welcomeSplash"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.magicbuddy.gamble.Dashboard" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.magicbuddy.gamble.Dashboard"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.magicbuddy.gamble.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.magicbuddy.gamble.Player"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.magicbuddy.gamble.Menu"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.magicbuddy.gamble.Popup"
android:label="#string/title_activity_popup" >
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
I have 2 new classes I have written. One is called Player.class and the other is called WelcomeSplash.class. Currently, as the manifest shows, that my splash screen loads and works and then the timer on the splash screen auto loads the next screen, the dashboard.class. Instead I want it to load one of my new classes, the WelcomeSplash.class. I do not know how to get my two new classes properly added into the manifest.
startActivity(new Intent(Splash.this, welcomeSplash.class));
I replaced WelcomeSplash with another one of my classes, Dashboard, and it does not force close, it loads and runs just fine.
Just as per your code, i make the changes and post the codehere. check and Use in Manifest..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.magicbuddy.gamble"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.magicbuddy.gamble.Splash"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<activity
android:name=".gamble.Dashboard" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".Player" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".Menu" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".Popup" >
</activity>
<activity android:name=".WelcomeSplash" >
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
No need to write <intent-filter> again. Thnk you :)
For every new activity you create you need to add the activity block to the manifest in the application section.
To add your new WelcomeSplash class, add the line:
<activity
android:name="com.magicbuddy.gamble.WelcomeSplash"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
between the tags
<application></application>
Once the class is in there your splash class should start the intent with WelcomeSplash.class
As dgg says just add the activities into your Manifest.xml
<application>
...
...
...
<activity
android:name="com.magicbuddy.gamble.Player"
android:label="Player" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.magicbuddy.gamble.welcomeSplash"
android:label="WelcomeSplash" >
</activity>
</application>
if you have the exception "there is no activty to handle intent (com.XXXX.WelcomeSplash) here:
Intent openMainActivity = new Intent("com.magicbuddy.gamble.welcomeSplash");
startActivity(openMainActivity);
you must use:
Intent startMain = new Intent(this, welcomeSplash.class);
startActivity(startMain);
read more about : Android Build an Intent
Here´s a question for you, whats the real name of your class, "WelcomeSplash" or "welcomeSplash", put the correct name on your Manifest.xml and in your Intent! :)
According to Java Standars, Class Names should be in CamelCase, so use "WelcomeSplash".

How do I add:
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity2"
android:label="#string/title_activity_main">
</activity>
into the AndroidManifest.xml
which currently looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.bac"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

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>
</manifest>
I'm fairly new to android programming and have yet to figure out a lot of stuff about transferring between pages and other things like that. Thanks for any help you give!
Just Add another Activity tag under your application tag
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.bac"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="10"
android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<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=".MainActivity2"
android:label="#string/title_activity_main">
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
If you are new to android and trying to understand about manifest
Have a look at ANDROID-DEVELOPERS-SITE ..... Click here
Have a look at youtube-tutorial too hope this helps
It has all the information you need to get started knowing more about the manifest file
You need to add your Activity inside Application tag.
The activity is the child node of the application node. The multiple activities can specify by multiple nodes of activity.
Read this : manifest-intro
your manifest will be look like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.bac"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="10"
android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<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>
<!-- Add your activities here -->
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity2"
android:label="#string/title_activity_main">
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
you can add any number of activity inside your application tag in AndroidManifest.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.bac"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="10"
android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<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 goes here-->
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity2"
android:label="#string/title_activity_main">
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
to add an activity to the Manifest , just copy the content of the exesting activity in the manifest and remove the intent filter like this
---the original
<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>
---the new
<activity
android:name=".yourNewActivityName"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
</activity>
you need add this in the application tag.
you need to change the android:name property to your new activity's name
I am having trouble finding why my syntax is wrong in the manfest.xml file. It is probably something simple so it would be appreciated it you guys helped real quick. I must be missing a key syntax issue, as I have tried to fiddle with it and got nowhere so far. I had these xml files working earlier but randomly they deleted themselves.

You are missing a ">" in all your activity declarations after the first one.
One of the activity tags is written wrongly as <Activity>, thats why you were facing the error. It should be <activity>
Here's my AndroidManifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.fionaheiss.shovelshovel"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="13"
android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity android:label="DisplayMap"
android:name="com.seanheiss.shovelshovel.DisplayMap"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation" />
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
I've tried the "name" field as above and just as ".DisplayMap". It is definitely spelled correctly. Could it be because I'm using Slick2D? The file DisplayMap.java extends BasicGame from the Slick2D engine, and has a main method. Maybe it's not an actual activity or something, but I'm not sure.
Any ideas? Thank you very much!
You forgot to close the Activity tag:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity android:label="DisplayMap"
android:name="com.seanheiss.shovelshovel.DisplayMap"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation" > // Also fix this here
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity> // <-- here
</application>
Good Morning,
You have to close the <activity> tag after the <intent-filter>
<activity >

Any ideas...
Change your View and Add Activity declaration in manifest as:
<activity android:name=".View"
android:label="#string/app_name" />
<activity android:name=".Add"
android:label="#string/app_name"/>
NOTE : View is already a class in Android so maybe this name will cause problem when you use Intent for starting View.java Activity. you can also change name of View.java Activity

Following this: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/starting-activity.html I am confused when editing the Android Manifest.xml file. It says that the file should contain this:
<application ... >
<activity android:name="com.example.myapp.DisplayMessageActivity" />
...
</application>
My android manifest.xml looks like this:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.nick.myfirstapp"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="4"
android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
<application android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name="com.nick.myfirstapp.DisplayMessageActivity" />
...
</application>
</manifest>
and when I run the app everything goes fine except it says : "No Launcher activity found!
The launch will only sync the application package on the device!" Is this something missing from the android manifest.xml file?
declare Your Activity in AndroidManifest.xml as for Showing In Launcher as:
<application android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name="com.nick.myfirstapp.DisplayMessageActivity" >
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
see for more info how we set an activity which so in Launcher :
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html
You need to change you manifest to the following. Doing this will tell Android that you want this Activity to be displayed in the Launcher using your icon.
<application android:label="#string/app_name" android:icon="drawable icon resource here">
<activity android:name="com.nick.myfirstapp.DisplayMessageActivity" android:label="Your Label">
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
In the docs the used ... to show that your normal code goes here. What you're doing is fine for non-launcher Activities.
You are missing the launcher intent and therefore the app finds no activity to launch at the start.
You need to lay out the activity like so:
<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>
package="com.example.myfirstapp"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.myfirstapp.DisplayMessageActivity"
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>
