Missing Android Icon - android

I've edited and added features from a programme which has involved adding another class (not activity class) since then when I load the app onto my android device I cannot see an icon appear but the app appears in the Application Manager. I have no errors showing and have commented out each section of the new class to turn it back to the original app. Could anyone tell me whether the problem is most likely to be in the manifest, the main.xml or the activity class? Or if they have come across a similar problem?
Cannot publish code due to company policy.

implementing Ubers usebutton sdk and AndroidManifest.xml

I am trying to use the Uber usebutton but each time, it crashes giving the following error:
Unable to find explicit activity class {com.heyjude.heyjudeapp/com.usebutton.sdk.internal.GroupedInventoryCardActivity}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?
I am unsure what to put in the AndroidManifest, currently as per the docs I have:
<meta-data
android:name="com.usebutton.applicationid"
android:value="app-myId" />
But it's clearly not working...
I have some more information, I checked the manifest-merger-debug-report.txt and found the following line
REJECTED from [com.usebutton:android-sdk:5.0.1] /Users/adamkatz/Projects/LavaLamp/Hey Jude/heyjudestudio/app/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.usebutton/android-sdk/5.0.1/AndroidManifest.xml:13:5-43:19
Why would the library manifest be rejected and how to make it accepted?
The maifest stuff maybe a red herring, your probably missing a library (The Uber library).
Here's a typical (working) AndroidMainfest.xml.
VERY important:
package="com.example.html2pdf"
replace with your package name (it's normally in your (local package) GroupedInventoryCardActivity.java file).
VERY important: Html2pdfActivity"
replace with one entry for activity for all your Activity files .GroupedInventoryCardActivity in your case (full path best package plus activity with dots (full stop's separating things, normally no slashes).
VERY VERY important:
com.heyjude.heyjudeapp/com.usebutton.sdk.internal.GroupedInventoryCardActivity is reffering to a library Activity (also with a package name the forward slash links the two packages). That's o.k.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.html2pdf"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="16"
android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.html2pdf.Html2pdfActivity"
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>
So package (replace/change):
package="com.heyjude.heyjudeapp"
and (replace/change/insert) Activity (name):
<activity
android:name="com.heyjude.heyjudeapp/com.usebutton.sdk.internal.GroupedInventoryCardActivity"
Hope this helps and not make it more confusing ;O)
All that goes into the AndroidManifest.xml file is this:
<application
<activity
<!-- your activities -->
</activity>
<!--Button SDK-->
<meta-data android:name="com.usebutton.applicationid" android:value="YOUR_BUTTON_APP_ID"/>
</application>
Did you remember to replace "YOUR_BUTTON_APP_ID" with your Button app ID found in the dashboard?

Unable to instantiate activity componentinfo classnotfoundexception

I've developed an app but when I run it, it crashes and shows the error: android unable to instantiate activity componentinfo classnotfoundexception.
I've read a lot about this error. I've tried Project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Order & Export and ensure Android Private Libraries and all other library projects are checked.
I've also noticed that when I press ctrl and pass the mouse over, for example, .MainActivity in my Android Manifest file, it doesn't display or link me to the Activity, don't know why.
Any ideas about this problem? Thank you so much.
EDIT: Manifest added

Export Problems - to .apk

App works fine when tested from Eclipse on phone via USB/Sync, when I try and Export it to an .apk, the Manifest.xml looses track of 2 activities under the parent "MasterActvity". Then even the USB/Sync stops working because it can't locate the activities. No memory storage is used, just text displays.

</activity>
<activity android:name="TipActivity"></activity> This keeps getting kicked out during .apk
<activity android:name="UccActivity"></activity> This keeps getting kicked out during .apk
</application>
</manifest>
I agree with nicopico. It looks like you are missing the . infront of the activity which tells the manifest that the activity is in the local namespace. Alternatively if TipActivity is in the same namespace as MasterActivity you can also do android:name="com.example.theoreferenceguide.TipActivity"

Android - after publishing an app, how long before it is searchable?

I published my first app yesterday evening, and it appears under this url:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appname
but I can not find it from my mobile phone in the android market by any variations of the name?
Is there a reason for that?
Also, the name there is my project name in eclipse, but how do I change it so that the app has a normal looking name to users and doesn't have the com. in the com.appname ?
Thanks!!
ps - the app name is com.problemio
Here is my manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.problemio"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<activity
android:name=".ProblemioActivity"
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=".AddProblemActivity"
android:label="#string/add_problem" />
<activity
android:name=".LoginActivity"
android:label="#string/login" />
<activity
android:name=".MyProblemsActivity"
android:label="#string/your_problems" />
<activity
android:name=".LogoutActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" />
<activity
android:name=".CreateProfileActivity"
android:label="#string/create_account" />
<activity
android:name=".ProblemActivity"
android:label="#string/problem_page_header" />
<activity
android:name=".SuggestSolutionActivity"
android:label="#string/suggest_solution_header" />
<activity
android:name=".SuggestedSolutionActivity"
android:label="#string/suggested_solution_header" />
<activity
android:name=".ViewSolutionsActivity"
android:label="#string/view_solutions_header" />
<activity
android:name=".TopicActivity"
android:label="#string/topic_header" />
</application>
</manifest>
and I guess I need to add this line to it:
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:smallScreens="true"/>
What else needs to be done? Thanks!
//your minsdk is android:minSdkVersion="15" only Icream sandwitch (ICS) device can find your app from market.
if you are targeting for api level 15 you can also add android:targetSdkVersion="15"
so change it to api level 4. –
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="15"/>
Via you direct link using the package name, the App is available as soon as it is through Googles check routines and published in the Store.
But the search index takes more time to index the App. Usually it should be done in a few hours.

Android application not displaying in market

I have publish an application on market but is unable to see it on the market website. I hear that is may be due to the /lib in the folder. I got the /lib and have got the admob library in it. I need it. If i delete it, there would be an error. And changing from my current <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3"/> to <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" android:targetSdkVersion="4" /> doesn't help either. adding the extra targetSdkVersion just creates an error. Tried a direct url link also didn't work. Any solution for it?

If you have a green checkmark and can see a label with the text saying "Published" in the top right corner of your app description in the Android Market Console (like here) then you may just have to wait some time.
In my case, app upgrades are not visible to all of the users instantly.
