Hi sumet,

As your code compiles/runs fine on my Emulator, your bug is probably within the AndroidManifest.xml
please post it here.
As we all have good eyes, please use the standard font-size :) (changed it already)

Hi Plusminus and sumet,

I've encountered this error many times as well, often when trying to run the simplest Android application i.e. the basic activity created when an Android project is created in Eclipse. I've found several references to the problem, but no-one has come up with a solution, or even a plausible explanation.

Hopefully you can help. Here is my source code and Android Manifest file. Good luck.

Al.

Hello ZA_Alligator,

there is a blank space in your package declaration(line #3):
Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]
Using xml Syntax Highlighting
  1. <?xml version=" 1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  2. <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

  4.     <application android:icon="@drawable/icon">
  5.         ...
Parsed in 0.015 seconds, using GeSHi 1.0.8.4


Was that a typo :?: because when I do the same, my project does not compile properly.

Does the "Tester.apk" exist when you browse the "/data/app/"-Folder :?:

Hi Sumet

I had the same problem and I couldn't find out a solution. However, I'm sure it was something related with the "AndroidManifest.xml" file. So, I took a shortcut and recreated my project and then the issue was fixed.

Try cleaning your project

Postby gh » Fri Aug 21, 2009 1:08 am

I just came upon this post when I had the same issue. I cleaned my project (in Eclipse Project->Clean) and it resolved the problem. If this works for others, it would be less cumbersome.

I've just had the same problem tonight and found the error was an extra blank space between android:name and android:label in the activity tag of my manifest file.

Re: ActivityManager: Error: Activity class {..} does not exi

Postby hippou » Thu May 20, 2010 2:49 pm

I had a similar problem with an example game Snake (part of SDK) when I was trying it in NetBeans IDE. The solution was add missing dot ahead name of activity.
Code: Select all
<activity android:name=".Snake">
