I am learning this via Sams Teach Yourself Android in 24 hours.

This is really strange, I run the app in the emulator and I get my splash screen (just some crappy text really) then I press the home button, and click on my app’s icon and it gives me “Application is not installed on your phone”

I went into the emulators settings->applications and it’s there!

I cleaned the project, uninstalled it from the emulator and re-ran it. Same damn problem.

(project is simple:
6activities, each has a unique text, as it starts it shows the splash activity
I have not even connected the other activities… just this)

    Ok, got it working after going to the authors website, downloading the support code and going over it and comparing it line by line.

    Basically in my manifest file I had 

    <activity android:name=".QuizSplashActivity"
                  android:label="@string/app_name">

    and again below I had 

    <activity android:name="QuizSplashActivity"></activity>

    which I thought was needed, but it looks like that should not be declared twice.

    I fixed the problem but am not 100% sure of the cause :((
