Android App installs with multiple icons

Question by Guest | 2013-07-08 at 22:26

I have just written an own Android App and installed it on my smartphone.

The strange thing with this: while the App is properly installing in the emulator on my computer, the App installed with multiple icons on my mobile phone. Each Activity got its own icon!

I can start the main program or the main activity by using its icon, but when clicking on another icon from the sub-activities, an error message occurs.

What can I do? My App should only have one single icon!

Have a look at the file "AndroidManifest.xml" in your project and look up, what there is written between <activity ... </activity> for the individual Activities.

There, the Intent-Filter

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

should only appear at the Activities, which should get an own start-icon. You can delete this section for all other activities.
