Android app name not being displayed

Question

My Android app is not displaying the application name \"app_name\", instead its displaying the activity name \"title\". This is from my manifest file;

   <         


        

Answer 1

If you or somebody is still facing the problem then here is the solution which worked for me.

Keep the Application label and Main activity label same in manifest as shown below

in main.java file set the label of your activity as shown below (I guess you are using action bar)

ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setTitle(getResources().getString(R.string.title));

before installing this changed app, uninstall the previous version reboot your phone and now install the changed app.

I hope this helps.
