To have it show up in the applications menu, you need to edit your AndroidManifest.xml file, and within the intent-filter tag add these two lines:

<category android:value="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> <category android:value="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

Then you should have a clickable icon in the Applications section.

Hope this helps, Ryan

I wonder if what you are referring to is the fact that your app icon does not show up in Applications? Im a bit puzzled by this as well. The icon is supplied and the Package Manager can see my classes load but its not available as a "app" in the Application screen.

Hi Dick,

thanks for replying, but this still doesnt solve my issue. I have killed the adb, eclipse and the emulator(to be sure i grepped in ps aux) but the app still doesn't show up in the emulator. I also tried making a new project in a different name space but that also doesn't work. I'll double check my settings Android or I'll just re-install the plugin.

Hi Lieter

This advice will almost certainly fix your problems:

In a nutshell, the eclipse plugin sometimes has trouble communicating to the emulator, these steps should fix everything up nicely.

Thanks

Hello all,

I'm having the following issue: I have installed the SDK and the eclipse plugin. And I've added $SDK_ROOT/tools to my path. I have followed the HelloAndroid tutorial. But when i run the app with eclipse(using the created run profile) it does not run on the emulator. I also cannot find in the applications menu. Do i have to pass certain options to emulator or have i done something wrong of which I'm not aware?

Thanks in advance,

Lieter
