android的新手，无法在手机上从github运行项目

Question

I tried to import this project form github into eclipse then I right clicked on the project which is called 'main' - chose "run as" - android application, yet the application did not automatically run on my phone, rather nothing happened. Here is what my console states:

2013-11-02 14:25:11 - main] ------------------------------ [2013-11-02 14:25:11 - main] Android Launch! [2013-11-02 14:25:11 - main] adb is running normally. [2013-11-02 14:25:11 - main] No Launcher activity found! [2013-11-02 14:25:11 - main] The launch will only sync the application package on the device! [2013-11-02 14:25:11 - main] Performing sync [2013-11-02 14:25:11 - main] Automatic Target Mode: using device '0149B3A10400A004' [2013-11-02 14:25:12 - main] Application already deployed. No need to reinstall. [2013-11-02 14:25:12 - main] /main/bin/main.apk installed on device [2013-11-02 14:25:12 - main] Done!

I looked for some app called main, but didnt find it. but still, it should have launched automatically..

It seems your manifest.xml doesn't declare an Activity as launcher Activity. You need to specify an Activity and insert an Intent-Filter in its declaration in the manifest.xml like this:

    <activity
        android:name="[package-name].[activity-name]"
        android:label="[app_name]" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

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