Installation error: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED code included - android

Okay, so I have been searching and searching and have not found any help. When I launch the AVD, it says:
No Launcher activity found!
The launch will only sync the application package on the device!
Once the emulator opens, this comes up.
Installation error: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED
I'm pretty sure that my AndroidManifest is correct:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.mshaw.avanos"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"></uses-permission>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
<activity
android:name=".AvanosActivity"
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.CALL" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
What's the problem?


Your application and activity tags have no closing >.
Try:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.mshaw.avanos"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"></uses-permission>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity
android:name=".AvanosActivity"
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.CALL" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

Android showing error while running

i have 2 activities AndroidSlite.java and SqLiteAdapter.java.. my manifest.xml file is given below.it shows No launcher activity found .while running
please help me with the code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.cerebtec.androidsqlite"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<activity android:name="AndroidSQLite"></activity>
</application>
</manifest>

You have to enclose the intent filter around the launcher activity, in order to declare your launcher activity. E.g.
<activity android:name="AndroidSQLite"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
this way you are telling android that the launcher activity is AndroidSQLite

Use :
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

No launcher activity found while loading Application

This is what my AndroinManifest.xml looks like
<manifest package="com.dz122596.bubblebop"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher" <!-- THIS ICON(IMAGE) WILL BE SHOWN IN YOUR APPS -->
android:label="#string/app_name" <!-- HERE LABEL(APP NAME) -->
<activity
android:name=".startingpoint" <!-- (.)dot means current dir, if your activity is in another package then give cull package name ex: com.xxx.Activity -->
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>
</manifest>
And startingpoint.java the activity Iam trying to launch is in the same package but when I run it says no launcher activity found.

Your manifest file's code says that your forgot to end the Application tag. You need to write </application> before </manifest> tag. Just add it and your problem will be solved.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application> <!-- Add this closing tag -->
</manifest>

just make few changes to ur manifest file. follow below manifewst file.
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
<application android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name="com.dz122596.bubblebop.startingpoint"
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>
</application>

Use a broadcastreceiver implemented in another imported project

If i declare a broadcastreceiver in my Android app it's all alright. Now i am trying to use that receiver implemented in an imported project. In the main project i declare that receiver in the manifest with the correct path(from the imported project).
I don't understand if this can work, although i don't see why,but in debug mode the receiver is not reached.
This is in the manifest of the main project:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.main.project"
android:installLocation="internalOnly"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.1" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="10"
android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/app_icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar" >
<activity
android:name="com.main.project.SplashActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.main.project.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data
android:host="com.main.project.MainActivity"
android:scheme="oauth" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver
android:name="importedproject.path.BBReceiver"
android:exported="true" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
And the manifest of the imported android library is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="importedproject.path"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<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="importedproject.path.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>
</application>
</manifest>
Am i missing something? thank you.

how to start a MapActvity from Activity

i'm trying to start a map activity from a normal Activity.
But keep getting the error:
10-20 10:47:08.828: ERROR/dalvikvm(1102): Could not find class 'com.xxApp.MapAnalyseActivity', referenced from method com.xxApp.xxAppActivity$1.run
10-20 10:47:11.578: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1102): java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.xxApp.MapAnalyseActivity
when i try to do:
startActivity(new Intent(xxAppActivity.this, MapAnalyseActivity.class));
xxAppActivity.this.finish();
Here is my manifest
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.xxApp"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".xxAppActivity" android:label="#string/app_name" android:theme="#style/xxTheme">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:label="#string/mapAnalyse" android:name="MapAnalyseActivity" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" android:theme="#style/xxTheme">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.xxApp.MapAnalyseActivity" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

Your manifest.xml should look like this
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.xxApp"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".xxAppActivity" android:label="#string/app_name" android:theme="#style/xxTheme">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:label="#string/mapAnalyse" android:name="MapAnalyseActivity" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden" android:theme="#style/xxTheme"/>
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps"/>
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
</manifest>

Check that MapActivity is in the Same Folder ?
or try giving full path in manifest as
com.packagename.mapactivity
