Android app name not being displayed

Question

My Android app is not displaying the application name "app_name", instead its displaying the activity name "title". This is from my manifest file;

   <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">    <activity android:name=".Main"               android:label="@string/title">         <intent-filter>             <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />             <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />         </intent-filter>     </activity> 

Why is the application getting its name from the Main activity and ignoring the Application label?

This is the full manifest

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>     <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"      package="com.extempor.cheetah"      android:versionCode="1"      android:versionName="1.0">     <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">     <activity android:name=".Main"               android:label="@string/title">         <intent-filter>             <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />             <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />         </intent-filter>     </activity>      <activity android:name=".InfoHelp"               android:label="@string/titleInfo">         <intent-filter>             <action android:name="android.intent.action.HELPINFO" />             <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />          </intent-filter>     </activity>     </application>     <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" />  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />      </manifest>  

Answer 1

This question explained the reason for this to me:

Naming my application in android

The launcher actually shows android:label and android:icon for activity(ies) that declare:

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

so application label is of no use.

Answer 2

You can only display one label at a time. Application label or Activity label.

If you set a label and run an activity, you will see the Activity label.

To see Application label, doesn't set android:label="@string/title" on Main activity.
