android menu Home item

Question

I'm running my android app on my droid x2 device. this app has a menu with some items, one of which is the Home (the screen that launches when the app starts).

the problem is that when I tap on the Home item it brings up this menu,

I don't know why it does that and how i can fix it.

Answer 1

I actually fix this issue by adding a new activity to my manifest file. so what I had for the launcher activity was

  <activity
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:name=".Home" >
        <intent-filter >
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

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

and I also added the following activity which would act just as a normal activity and in my menu selection I used the action name of this new activity.

    <activity
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:name=".Home" >
        <intent-filter >
            <action android:name="com.mywebsite.app.HOME" />

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