Package Installer has stopped - android

I am developing some app for android which worked well untill this evening.
However the app is working well in emulator but on Archos 80 G9 tablet with android 3.2.80 I got this error
The application Package installer (process com.android.packageinstaller) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Also here is my manifest XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="oni.dani"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="13"
/>
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:debuggable="true"
>
<activity
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:name="com.android.onidani.Dashboard" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="com.android.onidani.KlasaPrikazBaze"></activity>
<activity android:name="com.android.onidani.Dashboard"></activity>
<activity android:name="com.android.onidani.OniDaniActivity"></activity>
</application>
</manifest>

This error is occuring because you have declared your Dashboard activity twice.
<activity android:name="com.android.onidani.Dashboard"></activity>

You should add permission declaration in your manifest file. E.g
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />

error: 'unfortunately package installer has stopped'. This happens when application needs permissions like location, phone call, Read external storage, write external storage etc. If permission is not defined in the manifest file then i get this kind of error message.
Add permission in manifest file according to your need
i need read/write file so i added below permission (outside of application)
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

in my situation i was passing empty array to requestPermissions. so check if your array is'not empty (String[] permissions)

Permissions don't work and are not asked when i install the program

We wrote all permission codes between suitable tags. But when i install the program there is no ask about permissions.
Where is my fault?
this my manifest.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.berker.notkayit">
<uses-sdk

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_INTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_INTERNAL_STORAGE" />

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Writing permissions in Manifest file won't ask permissions on runtime. In order to show permissions, you need to write code in your application instances. Refer this link https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html
are u testing the app in marshmallow or above device means it won't ask for permission during installation but it will permission during run time have u added the runtime permission codes
It dependences on your devices, if you device Android version is below 6.0, then you way is ok, however, if you device version is 6.0 and above then you need add runtime permission, check this link https://github.com/googlesamples/easypermissions

After minor refractoring existing android application to new project, home screen icon got removed

I had my existing android project going unmanageable due to unnecessary research codes, so I decided to create a new project with only necessary code that's required for the app. I uploaded the same on play store's beta environment. As the app got updated on my phone, the already existing app icon on home screen got removed. Did I make any mistake in the code development?
Please help
EDIT: Added Manifest File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.abc"
android:installLocation="preferExternal"

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
...
</manifest>
Reverted back the application name to old file name (java class) and the same in manifest file. The launcher icon was created while installing via Google play store's beta environment.
Still unsure why the application name and java class names had an impact on the launcher icons. Any idea?

Error: Activity class {} does not exist

My application launches well both on Nexus 7 and Nook Tablet, but doesn't start on Kindle Fire with the following error:

</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
It seems like a device issue, but I have another (similar) application which runs on the same device well.
How can I solve it?
The real problem was that there were another application with the same package name on device (I tried a sample and gave it my real app package name)! When I removed it everything became working right!

Android bluetooth permission exception

In my bluetooth application i got the below exception anyone can help to solve this.
08-29 13:07:08.370: E/DatabaseUtils(31342):

if you are trying it for Android 4.1 or above, then the permission to write directly to the content provider is now protected with "signed" meaning you would have to sign your app with the same key used to sign the bluetooth app.
Source this answer on almost similar question Android bluetooth print stopped working on 4.1 . See link for solution.

How to set permissions for Android Bluetooth

I'm new to Android development. I'm trying to get a simple HelloWorld app going on my (rooted) phone - and the app is trying to enable Bluetooth.
I've set the Bluetooth permissions in my manifest is as follows, but I'm getting a Permission Denial exception when I try to run the application on my phone via Eclipse:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.helloandroid"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name" android:debuggable="true" android:permission="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN">
<activity android:name=".HelloAndroid"
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>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
<uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="7" android:minSdkVersion="5"></uses-sdk>
</manifest>
Is there something obvious I'm missing?
The answer about what to include in your manifest.xml for bluetooth activity includes
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.bluetooth" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
The first three are of greater priority and as I'm sure you're aware there are different cases when each dependency may be required. Hope it helps with your setup!
I'm not quite sure what the problem was here.
All I can say is that I reinstalled Eclipse and its plugins and now everything is working fine. Thanks for your help Mayra - I'll up-mark your answer because of your helpful and friendly approach.
The element types in the manifest are ordered. I think the uses-permission needs to be first under the tag.
