If you re trying to launch a specific activity instead of running the launcher one  When you select that activity  the android studio might through this error  Either you need to make it launcher activity  just like answered by few others  or you need to add android exported  true  inside your activity tag inside manifest  It allows any external tool to run your specific activity directly without making it a launcher activity

just add intent-filter Tag inside your activity   for example           lt activity         android name   activityName  gt           lt intent-filter gt               lt category android name  android intent category LAUNCHER    gt           lt  intent-filter gt       lt  activity gt

it s because you are trying to launch your app from an activity that is not launcher activity  try run it from launcher activity or change your current activity category to launcher in android Manifest

First check a Launch Activity is set in your  manifest xml  file has    lt activity android name    activityName   gt       lt intent-filter gt           lt action android name  android intent action MAIN    gt           lt category android name  android intent category LAUNCHER    gt       lt  intent-filter gt   lt  activity gt    If this is set correctly  next check your run debug configuration is set to  App      If the  App  configuration is missing - you will need to add it by first selecting  Edit Confurations     If you do not have a  App  configuration you will need to create one  else select you  App  configuration and skip the creating steps  Also if your configuration is corrupt you may need to delete it but first backup your project  To delete a corrupt configuration  select it by expanding the  Android App  node and chose the  -  button     To create a new configuration  select the     button and select  Android App     If you have just created the configuration you will be presented with the following default name value of  Unnamed  and module will have the value   lt no module gt   then hit  Apply  and  OK      Set this the name to  App  and select  app  as the module     Next select  App  as the run configuration and Run     Thats it

Sometimes if you change the starting activity you have to click edit in the run dropdown play button and in app change the Launch Options Activity to the one you have set the LAUNCHER intent filter in the manifest

Check your manifest Open the file with  xml extension and then all your activities are listed your first activity should have this code enclosed in its tags   lt intent-filter gt       lt category android name  android intent category LAUNCHER    gt   lt  intent-filter gt    or there is another way u can choose from configuration which is drop down list on the left side of run button choose from App from it  Hope it will help

Double check your manifest  your first activity should have tag       lt intent-filter gt           lt category android name  android intent category LAUNCHER    gt       lt  intent-filter gt    inside of activity tag   If that doesn t work  look for target build  which located in the left of run button  green-colored play button   it should be targeting  app  folder  not a particular activity  if it doesn t targeting  app   just click it and choose  app  from drop down list   Hope it helps
