Android app works on simulator but gives black screen on device

I just tested my app on a samsung galaxy note but it shows just a black screen. I just copied the apk file from the bin folder of my project on my device.

I noticed that the launcher icon is missing on device and that the app takes 48 KB space on device but 148 KB space on simulator. On the simulator the app runs just fine.

I retrieved the log from device but it has no significant information. It just says

12-26 16:27:36.270 I/ActivityManager( 2774): Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x10200000 cmp=com.foo.bar/.mdjActivity } from pid 3020

Any ideas whats wrong? How can I fix this?

Can you just install the app from within eclipse? Probably you are using a wrong .apk file. Try connecting your device to eclipse and installing from there.

Another option is to use the export android project menu option in the export menu you get when you rightclick on the project. That gives you a working apk.
