Android apk: install emulator then device
<p>Okay so i have been working on this app for a couple months now not really sure what i have done... but before when i would run the app from eclipse to the emulator it would auto open the application when it is finished loading it.. now it doesn't,, then after i signed the app and put the apk file onto my sd card and then installed it, it shows that it has been installed but doesn't show up in the app drawer and i can't run in from the setting>manage apps.... anyone have an idea what i might of done that has messed it up?</p>

<p>after looking into the manifest i found the simple problem that was like a thorn to me, this is what i had that was causing the error:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;activity android:name=".Splash" android:label="@string/app_name" &gt;
            &lt;intent-filter &gt;
                &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.SPLASH" /&gt;
                &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt;
            &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
        &lt;/activity&gt;

&lt;activity android:name=".Main" android:label="@string/app_name" &gt;
            &lt;intent-filter &gt;
                &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /&gt;
                &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt;
            &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
        &lt;/activity&gt;
</code></pre>

<p><code>android:name=".Splash"</code> intent should of been <code>android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"</code></p>

<p>then changed my class Main to MainScreen that intent then should of been <code>android:name="android.intent.action.MAINSCREEN"</code>
so i wouldn't confuse myself (hopefully) anymore on it</p>
