Solution

  • You have:

            <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>

    That will work for Android TV and perhaps other TV platforms (e.g., Amazon Fire TV). It will not work for ordinary Android devices, and that will include most emulators. You need to add a second <intent-filter> — the standard one that you see in just about every Android app:

            <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>

    That assumes that you want the same activity to be used as the launcher activity on phones as well as TVs. If you want a different activity to be the launcher activity on phones, put the LAUNCHER <intent-filter> on it.

    Conversely, it may be that you only want to support TVs. That's fine, but then you will want to limit yourself to emulators that are actually emulating an Android TV or similar environment.
