Answer 1

It was my own stupidity:

java.text.DateFormat dateFormat = android.text.format.DateFormat.getDateFormat(getApplicationContext());

Putting this inside onCreate() method fixed my problem.

Answer 2

I had the same issue, I cleaned and rebuilt the project and it worked.

Answer 3

After trying few answers they are either not related to my project or , I have tried cleaning and rebuilding (https://stackoverflow.com/a/48760966/8463813). But it didn't work for me directly. I have compared it with older version of code, in which i observed some library files(jars and aars in External Libraries directory) are missing. Tried Invalidate Cache and Restart worked, which created all the libraries and working fine.

Your Manifest Must Change like this Activity name must Specified like ".YourActivityname"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="org.th.mybook"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-sdk
     android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="8" />

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >
    <activity
        android:name=".MainTabPanel"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>

    </activity>
</application>

Answer 6

Dear You have used two Intent launcher in your Manifest. Make only one Activity as launcher: Your manifest activity is :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="org.th.mybook"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <activity
            android:name=".MainTabPanel"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity
            android:name="MyBookActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.ALTERNATIVE" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

now write code will be ( i have made your 'MyActivityBook' your default activity launcher. Copy and paste it on your manifest.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        package="org.th.mybook"
        android:versionCode="1"
        android:versionName="1.0" >
        <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
        <application
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <activity
                android:name=".MainTabPanel"
                android:label="@string/app_name" >

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

and Second error may be if you copy paste old code then please update com.example.packagename.FILE_NAME

hope this will work !
