Android. No Launcher activity found?

Question

When I'm trying running my app:

No Launcher activity found!
The launch will only sync the application package on the device!

I've readed all questions about similar problems, I changed my manifest.xml but every time I get same error. I stucked for an hour trying to solve this and nothing works.

Here's my manifest fragment:

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

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="17" >
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
    <!-- External storage for caching. -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <!-- My Location -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

        android:required="true" />

    <meta-data

        android:value="YOUR_OWN_KEY" />
    />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name="com.example.mosbin.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>
        <activity
            android:name="com.example.mosbin.Run"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_run"
            android:parentActivityName="com.example.mosbin" >
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
                android:value="com.example.mosbin" />
        </activity>
        <activity
            android:name=".Stats"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_stats"
            android:parentActivityName="com.example.mosbin" >
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
                android:value="com.example.mosbin" />
        </activity>
    </application>
</uses-sdk>

What's wrong with this code? Before it appears I just wanted to add new activity ...

Answer 1

< /uses-sdk > clear this tag at the end of your manifest and change this

<uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="17" > missing / here

to :

<uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="17" /> 

Also take these into your application tag :

<meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
            android:value="YOUR_OWN_KEY" />

Check the link and the topic under Adding the API Key to your application

Answer 2

This is what you Manifest should look like:

Do note how the various tags have been opened and closed. And nested where required.

Also, read up on the Android Manifest Docs. That will ensure there is no confusion in the future. ;-)
