MANIFEST FILE

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.gossipmate.mobi"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="10"
    android:targetSdkVersion="15" />

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

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

the above is the manifest code i am using i am sure i have registered the activity

The app is working now with no problems after i changed the M with m and started a new project.

Answer 1

Check the spelling of your Activity name in the Manifest file, its wrong.
It should be Gossipmate instead of GossipMate.

UPDATE

Try putting this line in your manifest android:name="com.example.gossipmate.mobi.Gossipmate" instead of android:name=".GossipMate"
