not assignable to 'android.app.activity' extends application

Question

I am implementing Adobe Creative SDK. I am getting the following error in in my my manifest file:

\'com.example.nick.avierytest2.MainActivity is not assign         


        

Answer 1

MainActivity extends Application

Of course an Application is not assignable to an Activity.

Either change this to MainActivity extends Activity, or move the android:name=".MainActivity" reference in the manifest to the application tag (and remove that activity). In the latter case also consider renaming the class from MainActivity to e.g. MyApplication.
