Could not identify launch Activity Default Activity not found

Question

I am getting this error: "Could not identify launch activity: Default Activity not found" in the android console. Then I added :

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

This is my manifests file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.mrrobot.mycoolweather" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <Activity       android:name="com.example.mrrobot.mycoolweather.activity.ChooseAreaActivity"
        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>

</manifest>

Can someone help me solve this issue?

You have to add this with the category LAUNCHER for the  main activity in your manifest:

<activity

    android:name=".MainActivity"

    android:label="YourAppName"

    android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar" >

      <intent-filter>

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


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

      </intent-filter>

</activity>

Just change the category to DEFAULT for other activity:

<activity

    android:name=".OtherActivity"

    android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar" >

    <intent-filter>

            <action android:name="package.OtherActivity" />


            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />

    </intent-filter>

</activity>

your code should be like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

package="com.example.mrrobot.mycoolweather" >

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>


<application

    android:allowBackup="true"

    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"

    android:label="@string/app_name"

    android:supportsRtl="true"

    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >


    <activity

        android:name=".activity.ChooseAreaActivity"

        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>


</manifest>

I hope this helps you.
