Question

I am working on a project, where i have 4 activities. Each time i run the project, activityA opens first and then other activities, but i want that the MainActivity should open first and then other activities.

Where should i define the order of activities to open.

Manifest file:

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

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <activity
            android:name=".ActivityA"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity" />

          <activity android:name=".GeneralAct" />
          <activity android:name=".BackUp" />
          <activity android:name=".AccountSettings" />
    </application>

</manifest>

Answer 1

Define MainActivity as,

 <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

and all other activities as,

 <activity
            android:name=".ActivityA"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

Launcher Activity is opened first and then the Default Activities.
