Question

I have made my own sms app with a reciver.

Now the emulator doesn’T start the app when run it via eclipse.
On my phone i can’t press open after installing and the App Drawer doens’t show my app.

the behaviour is like a widget

MY Manifest:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.korn.websms"
    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=".WebSMSActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >


        </activity>
        <receiver android:name=".SmsReceiver" android:exported="true" > 
      <intent-filter android:priority="999"> 
    <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
     </intent-filter> 
    </receiver>



    </application>
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"/> 
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS"/> 
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS"/> 
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/> 
</manifest>

Answer 1

you haven’t declared a Main and Launcher activity that would be launched when the app is installed.

this should be declared within your main activity

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