I messed up the xml file while making googles example myfirstapp with an actionbar. Please help. I am a n00b. Here is the full code for the xml file.
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="16"
android:targetSdkVersion="21" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<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
android:name=".DisplayMessageActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_display_message"
android:parentActivityName="com.myfirstapp.MainActivity" >
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value="com.myfirstapp.MainActivity" />
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
You're missing a closing </activity> for the first activity, it looks like. And the opening xml declarations:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="<your package>"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="dev">
...
Check out the docs on the Manifest: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro.html
I understand that android:label= decides the name of the app.
I have done it properly as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.drsystem"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="11"
android:targetSdkVersion="16" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
</uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
</uses-permission>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.drsystem.LoginActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_login" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.example.drsystem.CalibrationActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_calibration" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.example.drsystem.DeadReckoningActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_dead_reckoning" >
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
But my app name appears beneath the icon on the screen is still "#string/title_activity_login"
I want it to be "#string/app_name"
Anyone can help?
Thanks in advance
It's not really weird, but just good to know :
the Android's launcher use the Intent Launcher Label or if not set, the activity's label and finally application's label
<intent-filter android:label="#string/app_name">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
Naming my application in android
This is a bit weird in android...
App name is pretty much determined by first activity label.. or application label if it isn't set.
Just remove this line
android:label="#string/title_activity_login" from the Manifest file
I read this:
Error in AndroidManifest.xml "must have a minimum of 2 segments" but there is no solution.
Its happen after I change the name of the project by refactor->rename (instead com.example.my app to myapp only) and after that I change the name also in the manifest.
Here is the code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="save_money"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="save_money.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>
<activity
android:name="save_money.Article"
android:label="#string/title_activity_article" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="save_money.HashmalActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_hashmal" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="save_money.ImageAdapter"
android:label="a" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="save_money.SavedItems"
android:label="פריטים שמורים" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="save_money.Screen2HashmalActivity"
android:label="עלות צריכה" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="save_money.SelectArticle"
android:label="בחר מאמר" >
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
What it means is the package declaration in your manifest must have at least two portions separated by a period (.). Instead of just saying package="save_money", change it to package="com.save_money". That should remove your error. Likewise, everywhere you specify the name of an activity, you also need to update it there. Best of luck!
My guess is you need to have a minimum of 2 segments for your package name.
So instead of package="save_money Try package="me.save_money" or whatever you want.
I have got Eclipse to generate a Basic android Hello World app, But it has 2 errors: first, in my AndroidManifest.xml on these two lines:
I get The markup in the document following the root element must be well formed, Also My R.java Will not generate, no matter how many times I clean my project. Any Answers?

Thanks, Jonathan
Here is your manifest,
You should not specify more than one Manifest and You should not specify more than one <application> tags.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.jfkingsley.maclogin" >
<uses-sdk

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SET_WALLPAPER" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.EXPAND_STATUS_BAR" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="h" >

android:label="#string/title_activity_main" >
<intent-filter>

</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity

android:launchMode="singleInstance"
android:stateNotNeeded="true" >

<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="Wallpaper"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="Wallpaper" >
<intent-filter>

</intent-filter>
</activity>

</manifest>
It may be that you are missing something, but sometimes doing a simple re-format of code: CTRL+SHIFT+F, clears the problem.
I looked at your manifest file. The error is caused because you have 2 declarations of <manifest /> tag.
It begins with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.jfkingsley.maclogin"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
Then some comments follow and another declaration starts:
<!--
Declare the contents of this Android application. The namespace
attribute brings in the Android platform namespace, and the package
supplies a unique name for the application. When writing your
own application, the package name must be changed from "com.example.*"
to come from a domain that you own or have control over.
-->
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.jfkingsley.maclogin" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
Your either forgot to comment one of the manifests tag, confused something, or following a wrong tutorial. The AndroidManifest file should have only one <manifest /> tag
The Auto-generated AndroidManifest.xml file has some problem by itself. There is two manifest tag and two uses-sdk tag inside it. That is the problem. Do as follows:
1- Delete the closing tag of first manifest tag which is:
</manifest>
2- Delete definition tag of the second manifest tag which is:
<manifest
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="net.learn2develop.fragments"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
3- If there is two uses-sdk tag, also delete the second uses-sdk tag.
I added a new activity to my app, and it gave this error after. The manifest disappeared from android-studio completely.
I had to edit the manifest with a text editor. It seems that when I added a new activity, Android Studio created a new tag then added the new activity tag inside in the manifest file, rather than just adding the tag with the new activity in the manifest.
After you update the manifest, the project worked fine.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

/> should not be at the end of the file I had the same issue the error means the xml file is not correctly formatted you should try removing the / in front of the > or simply reformat
I'm having trouble uploading an app to the market place. When the app is uploaded an error is displayed stating that the apk is not valid. But no reason is given.
I believe I have everything correct in the manifest file and I went through the process in eclipse to obtain a valid key (Export-Create a new key store- etc.)
The manifest file is posted below. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

If that is your whole manifest, you are missing some key elements.
For example:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.mypackage.name.appname"
android:versionName="#string/version" android:versionCode="15">
<uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="7" android:minSdkVersion="7" />
<application android:label="#string/app_name" android:icon="#drawable/icon">
<activity spam here>
</application>
<define permissions here>
</manifest>
