Android App has more than one launcher - android

So I have an app, with 2 activities. For some reason I am getting 2 launcher icons, one for each activity, but I only want one!
The Game activity had an intent-filter which i removed. I also uninstalled the app and reinstalled it from scratch but its still coming up with both launchers :(
Manifest below
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_main" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".Game"
android:label="#string/title_activity_game" >
</activity>
</application>


You need to remove the label tag from your second Activity.
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_main" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".Game" >
</activity>
</application>

Activity does not start, but another activity work fine

I have two activities. When i mark my first activity as launcher(StartActivity) i get an error, but when i mark second activity(MainActivity) he works.
Here is code:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/buisness"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="portrait">
</activity>
<activity
android:name="StartActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_start" android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
In this variant i get error.
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/buisness"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="StartActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_start" android:screenOrientation="portrait">
</activity>
</application>
In this variant everything its OK.

this is my manifest up there, and the app dont open .
can someone explain me how to set up the manifest with all the activites?
the precus is the first for now to open when the app open.
at the precus activity there is a intent that when the button get clicked its Customize activity.
why its not working?

change this line in your file
<action android:name="com.yair.guessit.PRECUS" />
to
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
then run it.
if it work fine. then mark it as an accepted answer.

Your application has all Activities with intent-filter .Main... Let only one to have this filter, in others - just delete intent-filteres like...
<activity
android:name="FirstPage"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
</activity>

App Unable to Find Launcher Activity

I have just started to develop a brand new application and I have two Activities set up one which displays the Splash Screen and another the Main one. Here is the manifest file:
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<activity
android:name=".Main"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".Splash"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SPLASH" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
I tried changing android.intent.action also removing the DEFAULT Category line from Main also placing the Splash Activity setup above main.

<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<activity
android:name=".Main"
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=".Splash"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
</activity>
</application>

Just realized the .MAIN in action and .LAUNCHER should be in the same activity , it's working now!

check this
Android: No Launcher activity found! was working before
