Android App actvities installed as multiple icons

Question

Hi,

My Android App has 2 activities. A login screen and a search screen. When i deploy the app on emulator or on my device, i see 2 icons for same app. When i click on icon 1 it opens screen 1 (login screen) and When i click on icon 2 it opens screen 2 (search screen). By logic when i login it should show the search screen. Not sure when i'm making the mistake, would be of help if some one can point me in right direction.

Answer 1

Your manifest file should only have this line in the activity you want to have an icon:

<category android:name="android.intent.category.MAIN" />

Based on your description, it sounds like both activities have this line.
