Question

I have a simple app HelloWorld Android app in Eclipse (Mac OS X), when I install to the emulator/AVD the app shows up in “Settings->[Devices] Apps” but not in the launcher. I notice in logcat that I get these errors

W/ActivityManager(  160): No content provider found for permission revoke: file:///data/local/tmp/HelloWorld.apk
W/ActivityManager(  160): No content provider found for permission revoke: file:///data/local/tmp/HelloWorld.apk
I/PackageManager(  160): Running dexopt on: com.example.helloworld
D/dalvikvm(  870): DexOpt: load 124ms, verify+opt 459ms, 720236 bytes
I/ActivityManager(  160): Force stopping package com.example.helloworld uid=10044

I have set read/write/execute permissions on the .android directory.

In my case I forgot to define main activity. So, I add the following code inside AndroidManifest.xml main activity.

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

That was the result for Activity definition:

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity android:name="RssfeedActivity">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity android:name="DetailActivity"></activity>        
</application>
