Where's my app? Android disappears (but is still installed) after setting intent.

Hi,
I've compiled an app for iOS and Android using a custom url scheme.
The scheme works a dream, but...
Since adding in my intent filter for Android, I've found the app doesn't show in "Applications" view, so I can't drag it onto the desktop / page (whatever the correct terminology is). I know my app is both installed and working as I can launch it from a browser using my custom url scheme, it is just utterly impossible to find / launch / uninstall as it doesn't appear anywhere...
I've pasted my intent XML below, please can anyone who understands these things take a look and let me know if I've done something stupid, such as block out the default behaviour or something?
Many thanks,
Gaius
<application android:enabled="true">
<activity android:excludeFromRecents="false">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<data android:scheme="acustomurlschemevalue"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

Sorted.
I needed to list intents separately:
<application android:enabled="true">
                    <activity android:excludeFromRecents="false">
                        <intent-filter>
                            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                         </intent-filter>
                        <intent-filter>
                            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
                            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
                             <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
                            <data android:scheme="tiddlypompomppom"/>
                        </intent-filter>
                    </activity>
                </application>

  • HT2736 i had i tunescard of $25 but i never use it all because my account disappear but i still had money left.  the code xxsekt32wgc6dwfh this was last sat.

    i had itunes card of$25 but my account disappear but i still had money left.

    If you've already redeemed the card onto your account then its amount should be on your account - a card can only be redeemed once.
    To rent a film, find the film in the store and (if the film studio has made it available as a rental in your country) click on its Rent button. If you are beig prompted to review your account and enter credit card details then see if this post from mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without entering card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054 . If that doesn't work then you should be able to remove your card's details after entering them.
    As long as you account's balance covers the rental cost then only that should be charged. How purchases are billed : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
    When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

    I have entered a recurring event on my icloud calender and has it disappeared, but it still shows up on my ical on my mac and iphone. Any suggestions?

    So after reading other's threads on this issue, I learned that by turning icloud's calendar sync option off and then on again, it re-sets your calendar and pesky old things go away like magic. Thanks to others on this forum for sharing their expertise! I'm all set now.

  • Xfinity tv player disappeared on iPad but says still installed

    I installed xfinity tv player on my iPad it worked fine for a couple of days the disappeared from my iPad. I can't reinstall it because it says it's installed, but I can't find it any where on my iPad? I have tried doing a search but it doesn't come up. Can any one help, xfinity couldn't help me.

    Reboot your iPad and then see if it shows up on the iPad or see if you can download it again, if it did get deleted.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Another thing that you can check is Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Content>TV Shows. If you restrict content by age or ratings for TV Shows, it might be possible for the app to disappear from the iPad.
    If nothing else works, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and see if you can locate the app on the iPad screens in the apps tab of the iTunes window. When you connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, click on your iPad name under the devices heading in the left sidebar, click on the apps tab on the right, and look at all of your iPad screens in there.
    If you can't see the sidebar, go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu.

  • Where is GrowlHelperApp.app? box pops up and closes after a few seconds. I don't have Growl installed - what can I do?

    Whenever I open my recently Mavericks booted mac, a pop up box appears asking me
    "Where is GrowlHelperApp.app?"
    I have never used nor heard of Growl before.
    I spent around an hour googling for a soultion, but the only ones I can find all relate to having Growl installed.
    The worst part is that clicking "Cancel" immediately brings the box back up again, whilst moving it or just leaving the box open results in it closing itself after ~15 seconds just to re-open again.
    It's extremely frustrating.
    Does anyone know what to do to get rid of this without having to buy Grow
    Cheers in advance!

    Thank you for your help!
    I disabled them all one by one and it seems like it was the GeekTool Helper that was causing this..
    Which is a shame because it added life to my desktop

  • Photo editor app now available but doesn't work, after latest What's New update

    hi all
    odd experience what I wanted to highlight with you all.
    I've just had an updated (this morning) to What's New build 3.0.A.0.2
    After installing this patch / update, I was then told that "Photo Editor" was available to download. Build is 5.0.A.0.12
    As far as I'm concerned I've not had this app on my phone before - checking in system apps reveals this is a fresh install, rather than an update to an existing app.
    Also, I've not worked out how to run it, as there's no app shortcut on my homescreen. The app is not visible in the app picklist (when adding new items to my homescreens) either. Nor is the app in the main app list (accessed with the 6 dots button in the middle of the permanent shortcut panel on the homescreen).
    I've even tried using a very useful app "quick shortcut maker" and although I can find photo editor in its activity list, when i test the generated shortcut, I get "unfortunately, photo editor has stopped".
    Any ideas?
    I do have some apps disabled, so does photo editor have any known dependencies?
    EDIT: I've tried clearing photo editor data and restarting - no change.
    Cheers,
    Gary
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi MyAliasIsGary 
    Photo Editor is a system app only, it is available for use when editing photo's through your Album or Photo's app. For example, if you go into Album > tap on a photo > tap the icon at the bottom that looks like a pencil on paper > tap Photo editor.

  • Deleted App - App Store thinks it's still installed

    I deleted an app purchased from the App Store and need to reinstall it, but the App Store states the app is installed, and won't let me download it. I've attempted clearing the app store cache, but no success. This is happening on a fresh install of Lion.

    No, nothing like that. I have a time machine backup of my documents directory, but it doesn't have any applications in it. Plus, the condition persists when with the external drive attached.
    Additional background: I had attempted to install this app (Scrivener 2.1) from backup, but it reported being damaged upon launch, prompting me to delete and reinstall from App Store. That's how this mess got started.
    Also, I've tried deleted the Doc db file and restarting the Dock with the thought that the App Store might be using that as a refernece for determining what's installed, but no joy.

  • My EBAY app has disappeared, but when I go to App Store, it is already installed but won't open

    My EBAY app has dissappeared from my screen. It is already installed, but it won't open (in App Store).  How do I get it back?

    Sounds like the above solution worked for you I'm posting this for other readers:
    One reason this can occur is because of parental settings. eBay has a rating of 12+; if this is not allowed in
    Settings > General > Restrictions > Apps
    ...then the app will not show up.

  • ITunes says 1 app store update but can't install, iPhone says no updates

    Hi there in iTunes 7.7, Applications under Library, when I click Check for Updates it says "Updates are available..." So I click View Updates and then it says "No updates are available. Check again Later." If I go back into Applications in the Library in the bottom right it says there is 1 update available but when I click it it says no updates.
    On the App Store on the iPhone itself it says there are no updates. I'm also having a problem where apps downloaded on the iPhone need to be synced with iTunes a few times before they will copy over properly into iTunes. Any ideas?

    I did a restore, and chose not to restore from the backup. This seemed to have fixed updating apps on the phone but not in iTunes.

  • Thumbnails from a single project disappeared but masters still exist???

    Anyone know how to rebuild the thumbnails for a project where the are now showing up when i select a project? The image counter even still shows the proper count but no previews show up....

    There is not much info to go on here.
    My guess would be if you see nothing at all in the browser for the project. you probably have some errant search criteria in the browser search field, just get rid of the search criteria.
    If you are seeing outlines of thumbnails with nothing inside them then the way to rebuild thumbnails is to select all images, right click and use rebuild thumbnails.

  • AEBSn "disappears" - but it still works!

    Hi all,
    I'm a newbie to the boards, but not a Mac novice... even so, I am stumped!
    I bought my shiny new Airport Extreme Base Station yesterday, and straight out of the box (with the new Admin utility installed on my Mac, and firmware updated to 7.1.1) I couldn't see the new base station. Not even a message to say it needed to be set up, or anything.
    To configure it, I had to connect by cable directly from my Mac to the base station.
    After setup, I can wirelessly connect to the internet via the base station using my PC (i.e. the base station name appears in my list, I can connect to it, and use it), but I can't on my Mac - it doesn't appear, even if I type in the name as a "closed network" (which it isn't anyway).
    Even more bizarre, even though my PC can connect to the base station, when using the admin utility on there it STILL doesn't find it!
    I have the latest version of the admin utility, and firmware, installed.
    So, to summarise (as I have waffled a bit!):
    - I can't connect to my base station wirelessly using the Admin utility provided, on either my Mac or PC
    - I can't find the network listed in my Airport list on my Mac at all, and typing the name as a closed network doesn't help
    - I can connect and use the internet wirelessly from my PC, via the base station
    - I can use both machines via base station when connected with cables (surely not the point of having wireless, eh?)
    And I'm not even going to begin with extending the network with my old Airport Express... the utility can't see that either!
    Help! Any ideas folks? Thanks in advance.
    Jason

    I figured it out; it was a configuration issue.
    The Airport Express is used in two locations. At home, as a remote base station on WDS, and in my camper in Maine where the flashing yellow light issue began. Here's how I fixed it:
    - AirPort Admin Utility/Menu Bar/Base Station/Profiles.../Add (profile). (Give the new profile a unique base station name in the main window under the Airport tab. You will be able to choose the original profile again, if necessary, by navigating to Profiles per first line of this paragraph.)
    - Then, in the new profile, click on the WDS tab and uncheck "Enable this base station as a WDS." Now, click on "Update" in the lower right corner to restart the AE.
    Wahlah! My slow flashing yellow light immediately turned into a rapid flashing green light, which had been toggled in Base Station Options.../Status Light in the original profile.
    That's it. Hope this helps someone else with the same issue.
