Android Studio - App not installed on phone but works
I am using Android Studio to run my application on my phone and it works fine. But the app itself is never installed ... There is no icon in this menu. I have to "run" any time I want to test my application. I am not getting any errors.
I believe there is a problem with my manifest. What am I doing wrong here?

You must add a category LAUNCHER
and action MAIN
to your MainActivity
:
<activity
android:name=".activity.MainActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
<data android:scheme="http" android:host="www.eda.kent.ac.uk" android:pathPrefix="/school/"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>

Do not use direct debug-apk file for manual installation. If you want to install manually by copying the APK file to the repository,
-
Delete the auto-generated APK file located in
/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
- Click
Menu > Build > Build APK(s)
. This creates a debug APK for you.
- Click
I am using Android Studios 3.0 Beta 7. This works for me.
