Android app icon name picked from activity label than from application label
android, android-manifest
Solution
What am I doing wrong?
Nothing. This is working as designed.
You are welcome to also have an `android:label` attribute on the `<intent-filter>`, which should be used for the launcher icon label, according to the documentation:
The icon and label set for an intent filter are used to represent a component whenever the component is presented to the user as fulfilling the function advertised by the filter. For example, a filter with "android.intent.action.MAIN" and "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" settings advertises an activity as one that initiates an application — that is, as one that should be displayed in the application launcher. The icon and label set in the filter are therefore the ones displayed in the launcher.
Problem
Not sure if anyone else posted this question, didn't find any, though there are similar ones. This is my manifest xml: ``` <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" > <activity android:name="com.listCalc.tutorial.simpleinappbillingv3.ui.StartUpActivity" android:label="@string/activity_startup_label" android:screenOrientation="portrait" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <activity android:name="com.listCalc.tutorial.simpleinappbillingv3.ui.MainActivity" android:label="@string/activity_main_label" android:screenOrientation="portrait" /> <activity android:name="com.listCalc.tutorial.simpleinappbillingv3.ui.PurchasePassportActivity" android:label="@string/activity_purchase_label" android:screenOrientation="portrait" /> </application> ``` String.xml: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="app_name">List Calc in-app billing V3</string> <string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string> <string name="menu_settings">Settings</string> <string name="main_button_purchase_passport_text">Purchase Passport</string> <string name="main_cont_desc_image_passport">purchased passport</string> <string name="activity_startup_label">Loading</string> <string name="activity_main_label">Main Menu</string> <string name="activity_purchase_label">Making Purchase</string> </resources> ``` The application name i.e. the launcher icon name is being picked up as "activity_startup_label" and not "app_name" What am I doing wrong?
