How to change the name of uploaded application

I have launched an android application in to the google play store and it's currently live. How ever, the app has no name. In the store itself, it has a name, but once you downloaded it, it's gone. Like the icon shows next to all your other apps, but there is no name under the small icon.
Does anyone know where I can add this? I saw something about the android:label in my AndroidManifest, but I get errors when I change that. It's currently android:label="#string/app_name"
This is my entire AndroidManifest.xml

Instead of your label in the application tag, Android is using your label of the activity, that has
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
in it. Android tries to be the most specific. And because, as you said, your value for the string resource
#string/title_activity_main
is empty (so an empty string basically, which is not an empty value) you don't see any label below your icon. You can check that against, if you open the application manager in the settings and search for your application. It should be named after your app_name resource.
You can now either change the value for your activity label, or instead (and I assume that is what you want to do), remove the label between <activity ... />.

No resource found that matches the given name (at 'icon' with value ....)

I'm making an android application in eclipse, and I want to upload it to the Google Play store. How ever, the store says that I need to add an Icon to it. I programmed the icon, but it gives the following error:
error: Error: `No resource found that matches the given name (at 'icon' with value '#drawable-hdpi/ic_launcher')`.
I have no idea how to fix it, the image is in my drawable-hdpi folder and is spelled correctly and everything.
Can someone help me out?

Try this android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher" in the applicaiton node. The system will automatically choose the right drawable folder (hdpi, xhdpi, ...) according to the pixel density of the device which run the application.

mistake is in the below line
android:icon="#drawable-hdpi/ic_launcher"
instead use
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
it will automatically pick up its best

Change the below snippet
android:icon="#drawable-hdpi/ic_launcher"
to
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"

Change
android:icon="#drawable-hdpi/ic_launcher"
to
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"

There are several possible ways to run an activity.
Here's the method I use:
Intent i = new Intent (this, YourTargetActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
The this corresponds to your current activity.
Using such a call gives you the convenience to have your IDE autocomplete the desired activity name.

Dubble check the name of the class
Dubble check the name which should be mentioned in the manifest file
Perform a clean-build

Intent i = new Intent(this,SQLVIEW.class);

Android app icon shows on device to allow uninstall but does not allow to execute

I am able to run an android app in two virtual devices when degugging.(Galaxy tab and phone). When I close the app in debug mode the icon is not showing in the virtual device.
The same thing occurs when I load a signed .apk file to the actual devices.
The app icon shows when I go into manage applications. I can uninstall the app. Thats all I can do. I cannot launch the app since the icon is not visible with the other app icons.
I am using platform 2.2 with google api's 8.
What am I doing wrong? How can I get the app icon to show with other apps and be able to launch?
Here is my manifest file.
Any help is appreciated.

You should only be using <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> for one of your activities, not all of them. Try removing all others except the one that goes with <action android:name="android.intent.action.Main" />
EDIT: I may be wrong but I think you'll also need to capitalize MAIN as in <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> for it to be recognised as the 'main' entry point (main activity).

Try to remove "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" for each activity because android project must have only one LAUNCHER activity.

try to this if your main activity use this
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.Main" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
Other activity you can use this
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.(your action )" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
I think it can be helpful to you .
