Have a simple app with 2 activities. Works on USB / SYNC, but when I export it to get an .apk file, Mainfest.xml throws out any reference to the 2nd .
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.easy"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<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=".Splash" 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=".StartingPoint" android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.example.easy.STARTINGPOINT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
The 1st activity (.Splash) gets deleted during compile. I've had this problem with my first project so I started over with a very simple one to see if its a continuing problem or my first project.
Seems to be a continuing problem.

So I was just messing with my android manifest file, and somehow I forgot what I did, and I messed something up.
so the error it is showing in eclipse is this
Element type "application" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".
and I think because of that my R.java file is gone too...
If someone could find that mistake, I'd bow to them

The application tag lacks a > at the end.
It should be like this:
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
I've developed a launcher. In my device, there are 3 launcher with my application and the default launcher of Android. If I have not launched my application before, when I press home, my application appears on the launcher list. So, when I touch my launcher, it occurs error because of I didn't start it before. What can I do to solve this problem?

What is the name of the file of your second activity?
main.java.java?
Do you even have two different activities?
I install my launcher on my device. If I press home button and select my launcher always without opening my application, everything's OK. However, when firstly I start my application, then press home and select my launcher, it opens my application again and again. What should I do?
My manifest file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
No sure if it is your problem but try to but this in your aplication:
in Manifest:
<activity
android:noHistory="true"
android:excludeFromRecents="true">
Try adding this line in the manifest
<activity
android:launchMode="singleInstance"

When I run it, it says everything installs alright but nothing comes up and it's not listed under apps. I find it under application manager.. What can cause an app to install and not launch?
edit:
Here's my manifest.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.tabs"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="10"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<activity android:name="TabsFragmentActivity" >
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Have you got a launcher Activity?
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> // this
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Edit:
You did not surround it with an Activity tag, so basically you don't have a launcher Activity, fix it like this:
[...]
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<activity android:name="TabsFragmentActivity" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
[...]
Following this: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/starting-activity.html I am confused when editing the Android Manifest.xml file. It says that the file should contain this:
<application ... >
<activity android:name="com.example.myapp.DisplayMessageActivity" />
...
</application>
My android manifest.xml looks like this:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.nick.myfirstapp"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="4"
android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
<application android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name="com.nick.myfirstapp.DisplayMessageActivity" />
...
</application>
</manifest>
and when I run the app everything goes fine except it says : "No Launcher activity found!
The launch will only sync the application package on the device!" Is this something missing from the android manifest.xml file?
declare Your Activity in AndroidManifest.xml as for Showing In Launcher as:
<application android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name="com.nick.myfirstapp.DisplayMessageActivity" >
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
see for more info how we set an activity which so in Launcher :
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html
You need to change you manifest to the following. Doing this will tell Android that you want this Activity to be displayed in the Launcher using your icon.
<application android:label="#string/app_name" android:icon="drawable icon resource here">
<activity android:name="com.nick.myfirstapp.DisplayMessageActivity" android:label="Your Label">
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
In the docs the used ... to show that your normal code goes here. What you're doing is fine for non-launcher Activities.
You are missing the launcher intent and therefore the app finds no activity to launch at the start.
You need to lay out the activity like so:
<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>
package="com.example.myfirstapp"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<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.example.myfirstapp.DisplayMessageActivity"
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>
