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>

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>

</activity>
</>
</manifest>

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

This is my AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"

Remove
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="csgosmokes.csgo.dust2" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.default" />
</intent-filter>
From
<activity

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="csgosmokes.csgo.dust2" />

How can i use android.intent categories more than one?

Like this: (This is broke)
<activity
android:name="com.example.Main"
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.example.IKI"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.example.MAINIKI" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.example.UC"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.example.MAINUC" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.**DEFAULT**" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Problem is the bold code. How can i use that activity? What is other categories that are choosable? Is there? What should i do?

you may use different activity when you have more than one main activity class in your project.

</application>

These lines
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
should be present only in the main activity tag. Remove from all other activity tags.
Adding this intent filter indicates that this activity is the main activity of the app and should be listed in the launcher(apps drawer)

And I would add that the android:label should only be present on the application tag, not anywhere else.

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:
