Question

I have developed an Android application using Eclipse which works perfectly on the Android Virtual Device or when running it on my smartphone using Eclipse + USB Debugging mode enabled.

However, when I install the application on my phone using a signed apk file which resided on the sd card and try to launch it I get a “Activity not found – lsp.workshop” error, and the app won’t start (lsp.workshop is the application package name).

the AndroidManifest.xml file is:

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

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> 

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" > 
        <activity
            android:name=".TwitterLogin"
            android:label="@string/app_name" android:launchMode="singleTask">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

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

                <data android:host="log" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

    </application>
</manifest>

What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Using two intent filters instead of one solved the problem:

<intent-filter>
     <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
     <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
     <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
     <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
     <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
     <data android:scheme="twitter" android:host="log" />
</intent-filter>
