I already see the questions about "No Launcher activity found!".
I developped a widget which worked well and suddenly I have this error.
I have a configure activity declared with an intent filter APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE.
Here is my manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="tina.prime"
android:versionCode="5"
android:versionName="1.3.2">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"></uses-permission>
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<receiver android:name="tina.prime.TheWidget">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data
android:name="android.appwidget.provider"
android:resource="#xml/config" />
</receiver>
<service android:name="tina.prime.UpdateWidgetService"></service>
<activity android:name=".ConfigureActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.app.action.APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
The error tells you everything: No Launcher activity found
This means that you haven't declared any activity in your manifest as a launcher, in order to fix this, pick the activity you want to use for starting the app, and add the following attribute to it:
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

I have an App that uses a Service that I've added by a Bindable Jar.
Current state:
this Jar has an own Manifest (see below), when I don't touch anything on this Manifest everything works as it should.
Problem:
This Jar lets on Deployment to Device always its launer AppIcon on Device.
So my App leaves finaly two launcher icons, the one desired and the other from the Jar.
My Approach was to delete follow Part from Manifest:
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name=".ScanDemoActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Doing this the App Crashed on BootUp with Error: BootReceiver not found ...
Deleting the next few Lines:
<receiver android:name="com.company.scandemo.BootReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
caused started correctly on bootUp, but the Service didn't come up on BOOT_COMPLETED, when I start the App via Launcher icon everything worked.
Wished Behaviour:
I want the Main App to leave only one launch Icon and startup correctly on Boot
Here is the Manifest:

I am fairly new to Android programming and I'm doing my best to understand the tutorial. I have downloaded the sample code from this link.
Now I want to integrate the code from this thread. It says here to "declare the SMS receiver in your AndroidManifest.xml"
The code is:
<receiver android:name="mypackage.SMSReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
Here's the existing code from the sample file I downloaded under AndroidManifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.smsTest"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".SMSTest"
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>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS">
</uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS">
</uses-permission>
</manifest>
Now my question is where to add the code (the first code above) into AndroidManifest.xml.
I tried to change this line:
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
with this:
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED"/>
without luck.
Any help is appreciated.

You need to add the receiver as a 2nd item inside the application. You don't replace the intent filter on the activity. It should go between the and tags.
The manifest is really describing whats in your apk. Your application will have 1 activity, SMSTest, that is launched from the launcher. It also has 1 receiver which receives the intent SMS_RECEIVED. So both parts need to be in there. Make sense?
I have made my own sms app with a reciver.
Now the emulator doesn'T start the app when run it via eclipse.
On my phone i can't press open after installing and the App Drawer doens't show my app.
the behaviour is like a widget

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/>
</manifest>
you haven't declared a Main and Launcher activity that would be launched when the app is installed.
this should be declared within your main activity
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
You are missing a couple of lines from your manifest if you are looking to launch your app from an icon on the screen...
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
The first one (MAIN) means that this activity is the entry point of the application, when you launch the application, this activity is created.
The second one (LAUNCHER) means that it should show up in the Launcher as a top level app.
I am currently trying to add a widget to my application and have been basing my implementation on this code http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/StackWidget/index.html
I have put all my stack widget related classes in their own package within my main package.
When I try to add the widget it is unable to bind and hence the cards are not displayed (it just states the default text "This is the empty view")
Below is my manifest.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.bencallis.dealpad" android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<application android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"

</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".SettingsActivity" />

android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" />

</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.appwidget.provider"
android:resource="#xml/stackwidgetinfo" />
</receiver>
<service android:name="stackwidget.StackWidgetService"
android:permission="android.permission.BIND_REMOTEVIEWS"
android:exported="false" />
</application>
</manifest>
Error message:
E/RemoteViewsAdapterServiceConnection(474): bind(): Unknown component ComponentInfo{com.bencallis.dealpad/com.bencallis.dealpad.stackwidget.StackWidgetService}
I am sure there is a simple mistake somewhere which is making the component info repeat com.bencallis.dealpad.
Any ideas?
It turned out it was to do with my manifest and a problem locating the service. I was missing a . in the name (which gives it the path).
Silly mistake!
It's probably a very simple question but since I'm new to android development...
I am trying to start a service from an activity that is not in the same package (remote service) with the following code:
Intent i = new Intent("com.vasilis.service.GPSService");
i.putExtra("com.vasilis.service.GPSEnable", true);
this.startService(i);
but nothing happens with this code!
the manifest of the service project/package...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.vasilis.service" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0">
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".serv_activity" android:label="#string/app_name">

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"></uses-permission>
</manifest>
I am missing something! Any help ?
A similar question was asked here: How do I start a service which is defined in a different package?
Pretty much you just need to add this to the manifest.xml
<service android:name=".GPSService" android:exported="true" android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.vasilis.service.GPSEnable" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
Or whatever the names of the classes are ;) If this doesn't seem to work, the documentation located at Service has a lot of good advice.
