Whenever I try to run an app on the Android emulator, from the eclipse in the adt bundle, the emulator loads and the console outputs this:

Have you checked whether your app has been installed or not by going inside the menu?
Because if you have forgotten to make your activity as the launcher activity, your app will not pop up and you may not notice that your app has already been installed.
You can make that activity as launcher in the manifest by the below given tags:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
I think you seem to be missing these in your manifest XML for the Activity that is the app's primary:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
For example, if your main activity is called MainActivity, it should look like this:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/FooDzines" >
<activity
android:name="MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
....
....
</application>

I'm making an android app and after editing it I encounter this problem. It has no errors but it doesn't launch either. Is my problem with my manifest or launch activity?
Updated Manifest:
<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.bpi.gears.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="com.bpi.gears.home"
android:label="#string/title_activity_home" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.bpi.gears.profile"
android:label="#string/title_activity_profile" >
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
I still can't run my app.
You have the same activity defined twice. remove this and try:
<activity
android:name="com.bpi.gears.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
</activity>
You have this in your manifest:
<action android:name="android.intent.action.main" />
It needs to be like this:
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
you have main instead of MAIN
I am learning Android and can not get my program to show up in the program listings drawer of my Nexus S emulated device. When I load up the emulator, it does load my program successfully, after hitting "run new configuration". I know there are a ton of threads on this...but from what I can tell I have everything right in my manifest with:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
Also, to be clear the run configuration in Eclipse does run my program successfully. It's just not in the apps menu/drawer of the emulated device to click and run:

with

None of your activities have launcher intent filter, Add below lines to the activity you want to launch in your manifest
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
Edit:
You cannot have an intentfilter inside an intentFilter and the launcher intent filter will not work on service, only Activities can be launched and can have UI
<activity
android:name="PongUrSettings"
android:exported="true"
android:label="#string/pongur_settings"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Black" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Try going Setting -> Application(apps) --> uninstall your app & run again your app . May be it should work.Sometimes previous installation creates this type problem.Otherwise may be problem with your menifest file.
Not specific to this particular error. When app is installed and not launched, you can check the 'Launch options' in 'Run Configuration'. It should be selected as 'Default Activity'.
I'm not really sure what's going on, but for some reason my SplashActivity is not being created on launch, even though I put the MAIN and LAUNCHER intent for it. Here's my manifest:
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_main"
android:theme="#style/Theme.Splash" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="whatever" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
If I remove the second activity, then my SplashActivity is launched. But for some reason when the MainActivity is included, the Splash is ignored. Is it possible that having the activity name be MainActivity overrides whatever you set for your Launcher activity?
Update:
It seems everybody is suggesting something that I had already tried before posting this question so I think it's better I mention it now before more people post the same suggestion :)
Unfortunately removing the intent on the MainActivity results in the following in my Console output:

Don't know what it means, but I have to assume it's some kind of error.
The section
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
is used to let android know which activity to start when application starts.. Since you wrote it inside both of your activity, android takes second one as the starting activity..
So remove that line from .MainActivity block..
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_main"
android:theme="#style/Theme.Splash" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="whatever" >
</activity>
After Seeing OP's edit
Have you seen this? Also after changing AndroidManifest.xml file, delete and reinstall the app once..
try this
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_main"
android:theme="#style/Theme.Splash" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="whatever" >
</activity>
try this :
<activity
android:name="SplashScreen"
android:theme="#style/Theme.Transparent"
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"></action>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"></category>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
and give me review...................
