Changing activity launch Intent error

Question

I have Changed the activity that I want to run first from MainActivity to another. I did this by editing Android manifest and copying:

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>

To the Activity I want. Now when I run or debug my app on my android device it is successfully installed but it does not automatically launch like before I have to click on the icon and I get the error below and if I run it in emulator the right activity launches only at first installation afterwords it just ignores that activity and always starts MainActivity.

Please help.

Launching application: com.package/com.package.MainActivity.
DEVICE SHELL COMMAND: am start -D -n "com.package/com.package.MainActivity" -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER
Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] cmp=si.comtron.tronpos/.MainActivity }

Also, besides posting your complete AndroidManifest.xml, do an `adb uninstall -d com.yourpackage.yourapp` to delete the app from your device and make sure you are using the last version — Diego Freniche, Mar 31 '15 at 07:26

make sure that only one of the activity has this tag in it

<intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>

or you will confuse the system and android will make two different icon launcher in menu,

and yes uninstall all components from Emulator and from device and reinstall app

Only one activity has this intent and I have unintalled everyting and reinstalled. Still the same thing. – Tadej Vengust Mar 31 '15 at 07:53
clean your project and build it again that should work – Pankaj Nimgade Mar 31 '15 at 07:54
Clean did not help. I edited my question with whole manifest if that helps. – Tadej Vengust Mar 31 '15 at 08:17
