Getting error when launching application in Android Oreo

Question

I'm facing the following error:

Error while executing: am start -n "com.package/com.package.SplashActivity" -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] cmp=com.package/.SplashActivity } Error type 3 Error: Activity class {com.package/com.package.SplashActivity} does not exist. Error while Launching activity

So what can I do to resolve this issue

Android Manifest:

<?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="com.company.xyz">

    <application
        android:name="GoogleAnalyticsApp"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:largeHeap="true"
        android:theme="@style/MyMaterialTheme">

        <activity
            android:name=".SplashActivity"
            android:screenOrientation="portrait">
            <!-- For Pushwoosh we have to set following code: -->
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name=".MESSAGE" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

I have added Manifest file also in that you can see what I need to change and I am using push for notification.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Edited : com.company.xyz packagename which is same in other build.gradle and manifest

I have checked both files are having same package name and the application is running in all device but when i try to run it on OREO it not launching activity.

could you add your manifest here,and also how did you add your SplashActivity to the Project?? — Venky, Apr 18 '18 at 07:02

OP, Have you found a solution for this?

I had the same issue using a splash screen in android o. It was caused by the custom theme I was using before O. Are you using a custom theme for that activity?

If so, this solution might help you.

The custom theme had this code

 <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/background_splash</item>

but android O seems to crash with it so try this solution that I used to solve my issue

Create a new value-v26/styles.xml then add the code below in that xml

<style name="Splashscreen" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowSplashscreenContent">@drawable/splashscreen</item>

Replace the background drawable with your own.

The full detail of the solution is from this post by Omkar Amberkar

make sure in android manifest file in your SplashActivity is call first like below code..

<activity
    android:name=".activity.SplashActivity"><!--activity is package name. hear pass your first activity to load app start-->
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

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

I think the activity entry is already in the manifest. I have already marked the question as a duplicate of another answer. From my point of view, I think the activity package has renamed and that doesn't have proper reflection in the manifest file which is causing the error. Please look closely in the error. – Reaz Murshed Apr 18 '18 at 07:16

Activity class {com.package/com.package.SplashActivity} does not exist.

I think the activity class package name or the manifest declaration along with the fully specified package name is missing in your case.
