Unable to install app using Android Studio

I am working on an app which does not have any launcher activity. But when I try to install that app from Android Studio's Run icon, it says, 'Error running XYZApp: Default Activity not found'

I did not see such issue ever in Eclipse.

Can anyone help to fix this issue? How can I install my app in device which doesn't have any Launcher Activity.

Run -> Edit Configurations.

On 'Launch' select the activity you want to start.

If you are upgrading from Eclipse to Android Studio you might need to refresh the cache for Android Studio and restart IDE.

Follow the following steps:

File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart...

You also need to mention the Activity in the Manifest file of your Android project. You can use following code to do so: Here MainActivity will start when your app launches on the android device.

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

You must be missing the action and category for your main activity in AndroidManifest file

just add the intent filers in your activity as below :

<activity
        android:name="com.example.MainActivity"
        android:label="XYZApp"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

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

Edit your configuration, and there in 'Launch' select 'Nothing' (or something else, what you want to run)
