I cant seem to launch my application. It gives me an error like this: "Error running second Activity: The activity must be exported or contain an intent-filter".
Is there anything wrong with my manifest?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="sg.edu.rp.g913.mymakeuppouch"> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:supportsRtl="true" android:theme="@style/AppTheme"> <activity android:name=".MainActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <activity android:name=".secondActivity"> </activity> </application> </manifest>
Put android:exported="true"
in the <activity>
tag
<activity android:name=".secondActivity" android:exported="true">
You should set the Run>edit configuration to the desired launcher activity and give the intent filter at the manifest to the correct activity
below is the error creating situation
<application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:supportsRtl="true" android:theme="@style/AppTheme"> <activity android:name=".MainActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <activity android:name=".Page_2"> </activity> </application>

correct configuration and code are given below to run Mainactivity as launcher activity
<application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:supportsRtl="true" android:theme="@style/AppTheme"> <activity android:name=".MainActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <activity android:name=".Page_2"> </activity> </application>
