You need to have the LAUNCHER category for your main Activity in your AndroidManifest.xml. Example:
<intent-filter android:label="#string/app_name">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>

Android external activity fails

I'm trying to set up android multiple file chooser from https://github.com/paulasiimwe/Android-Multiple-file-Selector-Dialog.
I've added dependency to this library from my project.
Problem is app just fails when I click "run as android application".

</manifest>
And my code calling external activity:
import paul.arian.fileselector.FileSelectionActivity;
...
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Intent intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), FileSelectionActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
...
onActivityResult is exactly same as man said in https://github.com/paulasiimwe/Android-Multiple-file-Selector-Dialog.
Could anyone help with that?

Android (Eclipse) cannot find google-play-services_lib.apk tried multiple solutions

I am creating an android application that displays a map based on the Google maps API, which should be compatible with android 2.3 API level 10.
I have tried all the solutions i could come across such as:
imported existing code into my project (checked copy to workspace and its the directory google-play-services-lib)
added the correct meta and such in my XML (see below)
I have tried setting up the emulator with several different settings
The android application runs fine, but when this page is shown is exits.

Seeing your error log, there is one solution provided in this link. Dont import google-play-services_lib APK, you should reference it on your project as an Android Library Project.

I had the same problem.
Look at project: Properties-> Java Build Path under projects remove google-play-services_lib.
Not necessary to include in build also as a project.

Java Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY maps

I downloaded an android map app and am trying to successfully run the app. When I build and run, I however run into an error here.

Your emulator AVD does not have Google Maps. Create an emulator AVD with a "Target" that has "Google APIs (Google Inc.)" in the name.

See only home screen and not my app when running the App

I'm really freaking out of this problem, I've tried anything. Nothing works. When I run the app, android emulator just loads, shows the home screen and then nothing happens (I don't see my app running), just nothing. What should I do?
EDIT: Console code shows:
[2012-07-04 00:20:17 - MyAPPP] Android Launch!
[2012-07-04 00:20:17 - MyAPPP] adb is running normally.

[2012-07-04 00:20:17 - MyAPPP] Launching a new emulator with Virtual Device 'MonoForAndroid_API_8'
LogCat doesn't show anything
EDIT2: Manifest as requested :
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.exame.myappp"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"

<activity

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

this could be an issue with Eclipse, sometimes when I run eclipse I have the same problem where the emulator runs, my app fails to run and when I try to run the app again I have a new emulator running. What I usually find myself doing is build/clean the project, restart eclipse and then start again.
Sorry for the old techie "off/on" answer, hope it sorts itself out.

Make your manifest look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.exame.myappp"
android:versionCode="1"

<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_main" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
