I'm using Eclipse to make an Android app. I've used it before and not had this problem. The console says everything installed ok, so I'm a little confused. I'm not sure what is relevant from logcat, but I can post it if you think that would help.

I've restarted Eclipse, ADB, the emulator, and the Mac several times in various orders and nothing has helped. I know it must be something simple but I haven't played around with this in a few months.

Manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.hyser.pinpoint"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" />

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >
</application>
<activity android:name=".pinpoint" android:label="pinpoint">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
</activity>

  • Can you post your AndroidManifest.xml? Your main activity needs to have the proper intent filter for it to show up in the application tray. – chiuki Dec 22 '11 at 21:37

Your Activity needs to be inside of your application tag in your manifest

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >

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

</application>

It's a similar issue to this:

Unable to start Service Intent

Your <activity> tag needs to be in the <application> block.

Is it possible your manifest does not refer to any activities? If you install an app with no activities in the manifest you will get this behavior.
