Question

I published my first app yesterday evening, and it appears under this url:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appname

but I can not find it from my mobile phone in the android market by any variations of the name?

Is there a reason for that?

Also, the name there is my project name in eclipse, but how do I change it so that the app has a normal looking name to users and doesn’t have the com. in the com.appname ?

Thanks!!

ps – the app name is com.problemio

Here is my manifest:

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

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" />

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

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <activity
            android:name=".ProblemioActivity"
            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=".AddProblemActivity"
            android:label="@string/add_problem" />

        <activity
            android:name=".LoginActivity"
            android:label="@string/login" />        

        <activity
            android:name=".MyProblemsActivity"
            android:label="@string/your_problems" /> 

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

        <activity
            android:name=".CreateProfileActivity"
            android:label="@string/create_account" />         

        <activity
            android:name=".ProblemActivity"
            android:label="@string/problem_page_header" />   

        <activity
            android:name=".SuggestSolutionActivity"
            android:label="@string/suggest_solution_header" />  

        <activity
            android:name=".SuggestedSolutionActivity"
            android:label="@string/suggested_solution_header" />          

        <activity
            android:name=".ViewSolutionsActivity"
            android:label="@string/view_solutions_header" />        

        <activity
            android:name=".TopicActivity"
            android:label="@string/topic_header" /> 

    </application>

</manifest>

and I guess I need to add this line to it:

<supports-screens  android:largeScreens="true"   android:normalScreens="true"  android:smallScreens="true"/> 

What else needs to be done? Thanks!

Answer 1

//your minsdk is android:minSdkVersion=”15″ only Icream sandwitch (ICS) device can find your app from market.

if you are targeting for api level 15 you can also add android:targetSdkVersion="15"

so change it to api level 4. –

 <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="15"/>
