Android app won't open after i install. But it can run in emulator

I have exported my app from eclipse and installed it on my phone. After installation, I click open from package installer, but the installer force close. Afterwards, when I tried to launch the app, nothing happen after I click it. I click the app in app drawer but it return to home screen instead.

I am able to run in emulator and in debug mode when I connect my device via usb, but not when I export the apk to install.

Note that this is not the first app that I exported to install. Previous apps are working fine.

My solution is to add this flag in download manager when application is install


    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)

In my case - i had this flag -> intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP)

I replaced it with Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK and everything worked!

if you use splash in react native:

To avoid error: Binary XML file line #XXX: requires a valid src attribute

inside a layer-list, use:

<item android:drawable="@drawable/image" />

instead of:

<item>
  <bitmap android:src="@drawable/image"/>
</item>

Removing the configuration of all the modules that are not from the app worked for me. In other words, just leave the Project.app module and check its configuration.

Edit Run/Debug Configurations -> Android app -> app

My Manifest looked like this. Those that need help and have a similar manifest look bellow.

<activity android:name=".login.activities.SplashScreenActivity">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
                <data
                    android:host="example.com"
                    android:scheme="https"/>
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

You just need to remove the

< data>

element in the intent-filler and it should work.

Try to search errors in your Android manifest, i have the same problem and the problem was the 'R' in the category LAUNCHER are in lower case.

like this:

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHEr" />

to solve it, simple:

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

I spent few days to identify the problem why it occurred .But I solved my problem this way- Modification in Android Manifest

<activity android:configChanges >
        <intent-filter android:label="@string/launcher_name">
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            <I removed my code here that i added for reference to google play store for reference >

Remove the unwanted one from the manifest and it will work.

I found the problem! I had declared the activity 2 times in the manifest with different properties, like:

<activity android:name=".myclass"></activity>

and

<activity android:name=".myclass" android:label="@string/app_name">
  <intent-filter>   
     <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> 
     <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> 
  </intent-filter>
</activity>

Remove the unwanted one from the manifest and it will work.

Try to check on permission in Android Manifest. I was having the same problem earlier when i install a NFC app. I forget to give permission for NFC. After i gave the permission it works fine for me. Please check your AndroidManifest.

Check your android emulator version and the firmware version of the phone. If firmware version is not supported for that app you will be install from adb, but you cant start the app.

Check the settings to be able to install the unknown apps in
Settings->Applications and check box "Unknown Sources"
