Application starting with different activity, Android Studio

first timer here (both in development and posting in SO). I've used idunnololz to create an animated listview for a simple reference app I'm trying to make. It's turned out really well, but after I've created it, when I run the app to test it, it now runs as AnimatedExpandableListView both in the ActionBar title and in the app drawer. I've searched here and found that you can get the app to launch with a different activity by editing the AndroidManifest.xml, so I verified that I'm pointing to my MainActivity class:

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name=".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>
</application>

I presume this may be an issue with the MainActivity class, but maybe there's something here that I'm missing?

I found my answer here: Android: App name shows the first page name, not the app name

<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
    android:name=".MainActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >
    <intent-filter **NEED @string/app_name HERE**>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>
