Android app installs but doesn't show up in app tray <p>I'm building a time logging application and i have created the main layout. I tried to debug my application on my phone Samsung Galaxy S and it starts fine, but if i close it and want to run it again it's not in my app drawer. It shows up in Settings->Programs->Manage and in Recent when holding down the home button.</p> <p>Here is the manifest.xml</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.doweb.timelog" android:versionCode="1"&gt; &lt;application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"&gt; &lt;activity android:name="MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_name"&gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"&gt; &lt;/category&gt;&lt;/action&gt;&lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/activity&gt; &lt;/application&gt; &lt;uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8"&gt; &lt;/uses-sdk&gt; &lt;/manifest&gt; </code></pre>
