I have developed an android app that sends sms. My problem is that when I click the text message icon for a contact, the pop up that asks you to specify which application you will like to use, does not have my app as part of the options. Can anybody help with this?
I have added an image to make the question much clearer.

This is the code for the manifest file:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.smsmessaging"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS">
</uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS">
</uses-permission>
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity android:name=".SMS"
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.SEND"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver android:name=".Receiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name=
"android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
I finally figured out how to do it. All I had to do was add the intent-filter bellow to the activity:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:scheme="sms" />
<data android:scheme="smsto" />
</intent-filter>
You need to have an <intent-filter> for the ACTION_SEND action. This will put it in the list
http://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-filters.html
This example is from the Google page:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.EDIT" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PICK" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.dir/vnd.google.note" />
</intent-filter>
Pay attention to the data element

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>

Add below line to your intent-filter
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
You haven't define your launcher point that could be a reason try it if it works
I have a serious problem with my self developed app.
Long Story:
I have created an app and developed it on my desktop pc. Because I need to show it to my customer, I decided to install android studio on my Notebook and try the app there. I imported the project on my Notebook and started Android Studio, I ran the project, the app started and worked like always on my smartphone but......when I went back to the homescreen the Icon was missing (while on my desktop pc version was shown) and it wasn't even in the app list, but if I go on "Settings" --> "Manage applications", it's shown there, I can unistall or stop it, but because I don't have an icon I can't start it again if I don't rerun the app with Android Studio. I went back to my desktop pc and tried to rerun the app from there, but nothing changed the icon is still missing.
Short Story: After reinstalling my app on my phone with android studio from my notebook, the app icon is missing from the home screen and application list, but I can see it in "Settings" --> "Manage applications". If I go back to my original pc where I developed the app and try to rerun it, the result is the same...icon missing.
I read all the post that are similar to my problem on Stackoverflow, but nothing helped me to resolve it. I hope that someone can help me about it.
I posted the AndroidManifest.xml if needed but I can't post all the code because of privacy/copyright, sorry. I tried to write in the most correct english I could, I apologize in advance if my writing is horrible.

It is happening because you passed everything into one intent filter. Try to separate them per use case or at least separate Launcher and Main filter.
Like this:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" />
<data android:scheme="sms" />
<data android:scheme="smsto" />
<data android:scheme="mms" />
<data android:scheme="mmsto" />
</intent-filter>
Adding different intent filter can solve your problem
<activity
android:name=".activities.SplashActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
<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"></action>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category>
<data android:host="example.com"></data>
<data android:scheme="http"></data>
<data android:pathPattern="/.*"></data>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
I had the same problem but the solutions above did not work for me. I had to remove the label attribute to make it appear on the screen again.
Before the MainActivity looked like this:
<activity
android:name=".HomeTabs.NavigationHome"
android:label="#string/title_activity_navigation_home">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
and afterwards like this:
<activity
android:name=".HomeTabs.NavigationHome"
>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
If you're already sure that you have correctly defined your app logo,
problem would be using android:scheme inside of launcher activity. See below post:

I made an app that (just recently) stopped showing up in my app drawrer. It shows up as an installed app in Titanium Backup, but when I select it, it does not give me a "run app" option. The only way I am able to run it is by running it in Android Studio. I am pretty sure i have messed something up in my manifest that is making it act weird. Can anyone help me figure out what is wrong with my manifest? I have been comparing it to many different manifests and I tried removing and changing several lines in it but no luck.
I am by far no expert in development therefore if the problem I am having is due to a very small error that I may not understand, be easy on me.
Here is my manifest. This is a text messaging app.

You need to use two different intent-filter, one for the android.intent.action.MAIN action and one for the android.intent.action.SEND and android.intent.action.SENDTO actions.
Change your AndroidManifest.xml from this:
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="sms" />
<data android:scheme="smsto" />
<data android:scheme="mms" />
<data android:scheme="mmsto" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
to this:
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" >
<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.SEND"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
<data android:scheme="sms"/>
<data android:scheme="smsto"/>
<data android:scheme="mms"/>
<data android:scheme="mmsto"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
My app used to work just fine, its icon displayed when installed in applications and it was uploaded to the Play Store. Now when I install it, it is like invisible, and in the Play Store it just says Uninstall, not open. What would be the reason for this?
Thanks.

This problem occurs when you include the <data> element in the same intent-filter as your action.MAIN, which does not expect any data.
You could try splitting the intent-filter like this:
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"
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="redacted.MainActivity" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="http"/>
<data android:scheme="https"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
