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:

<data android:scheme="http" android:host="my.package.name.host" />

</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 would like to open my app from the browser.
example: I open a browser, type in: https://open.my.app, or app://www.example.com and have my app as an option come up.
I read about Deep Links and I am quite sure I set up my project properly, YET nothing happens when I either try to type and run: https://open.my.app, app://www.example.com
My AndroidManifest:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.somemobileapp">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>
<application
android:name=".MainApplication"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:allowBackup="false"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<!-- Change these two in the future to a proper one -->
<data android:scheme="https" android:host="www.example.com" />
<data android:scheme="app" android:host="open.my.app" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="com.facebook.react.devsupport.DevSettingsActivity" />
</application>
</manifest>
So even after this, it's not working.
I know it will sound strange but keeping the data tag on first worked for me
<intent-filter>
<!-- data on first -->
<data android:scheme="http" android:host="abc.in"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
When I add an intent filter (to enable Google to crawl my app content and allow users to enter my app from search results) then my app still runs from Android Studio on my phone but it no longer installs.
My manifest is below, I have commented out the added intent filter to make it install again, so now I get a warning that it is not indexable by Google search.
What can I do so it installs and is indexable?
This is my first app so apologies if this is obvious but I appreciate any help. Thanks.

I seem to have found the solution. There should be 2 separate intent filters ...
<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.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="http"
android:host="www.mywebsite.com"
android:pathPrefix="/myappname" />
</intent-filter>
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.
I'm trying to register my Android app as a handler for iCal URLs. To do this I set intent filters in my Manifest for the webcal:// pseudo protocol and for HTTP URLs using the text/calendar MIME type (see below).
This works perfectly fine in the emulator, but on a real device I'm having problems. The webcal:// filter works, but the text/calendar one doesn't. Instead the Browser displays the ical file as plain text instead of passing the URL to my app.
I checked that the browser isn't configured as a default handler for ical (in Settings->Applications->Browser) and I asked a few other people if they could reproduce the problem on their mobiles. All with the same result.
What's the correct way to register for text/calendar URLs?

Update: Turns out the above works fine in the Android 1.6 emulator, but not on a 2.3.3 emulator where it shows the same behavior as on my phone. Is this a bug in Android maybe?
I opened a bug report at https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18796
Just use the DEFAULT category, the BROWSABLE category is might be causing the problem.
Add a .*.ics path pattern to capture any files that have been given the wrong mime type by the server
Put all the data matching into the same filter

I'm trying to create an Android app that needs to use OAuth to authenticate (with the Google Wave data API)
I've specified a custom scheme in my AndroidManifest.xml so that any views to a url beginning "braindump://" should go to my app:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="org.enigmagen.braindump"
android:versionName="0.1"
android:versionCode="1">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7"></uses-sdk>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
<application
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:debuggable="true">
<activity
android:name=".BrainDump"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:launchMode="singleInstance">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="braindump" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
All that happens though is that after the redirect, the browser address shows the correct URL, but the page content is
You do not have permission to open this page.
braindump://rest_of_address_here
Is there a specific permission that needs to be set to allow this sort of behaviour?
I had the exact same problem (OAuth) and this is how I fixed it.
I've separated my Main from the class that will act on the URI.
Here's how the AndroidManifest.xml should look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
[snip]
<activity android:label="#string/app_name" android:name="MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:label="#string/app_name" android:name="OAUTHActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="myscheme" android:host="oauth" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
[/snip]
And I was able to open URIs like myscheme//oauth?oauth_verifier=xxx&oauth_token=yyy
Actually, it's possible to do it with only one activity, just creating one more intent filter. Like this:
<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>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="my_scheme" android:host="my_app_host.com" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
I don't think this is exactly the cause of your problem, but I got this same error "You do not have permission to open this page" and it was because I was using a scheme with a capital letter. eg "Celly" instead of "celly". This worked fine in the emulator but failed on real devices. Changing it all to lowercase fixed it.
According to the common tasks that should be:
<scheme android:name="braindump" />
