Android launching wrong activity

Question

Android is launching wrong activity when I start app.

Manifest.xml :

<activity
    android:name="com.company.app.activities.RS_SplashScreenActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
    android:name="com.company.app.activities.RS_PreviousLauncherActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/myTheme" >
</activity> 

I added a new Activity RS_SplashScreenActivity and set it as launcher activity. Still it tries to launch RS_PreviousLauncherActivity which used to be a launcher activity before adding RS_SplashScreenActivity.

I am sure that android chooses wrong launcher activity on account of below logs from console.

Console :

Any idea why this happens?

Edit :

public class RS_SplashScreenActivity extends Activity {

    // Splash screen timer
    private static int SPLASH_TIME_OUT = 3000;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.splash_screen);

        new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                // This method will be executed once the timer is over
                // Start your app main activity
                Intent i = new Intent(RS_SplashScreenActivity.this, RS_PreviousLauncherActivity.class);
                RS_SplashScreenActivity.this.startActivity(i);

                // close this activity
                RS_SplashScreenActivity.this.finish();
            }
        }, SPLASH_TIME_OUT);
    }

Edit : When I remove activity tag for RS_PreviousLauncherActivity, it detects correct activity as launcher but when I add activity tag again then it starts selecting wrong activity.

Edit : I get below logs in console. May be this has something to do with my problem.

[2013-10-09 10:27:04 - app] Dx warning: Ignoring InnerClasses attribute for an anonymous inner class
(org.apache.james.mime4j.message.Header$1) that doesn't come with an
associated EnclosingMethod attribute. This class was probably produced by a
compiler that did not target the modern .class file format. The recommended
solution is to recompile the class from source, using an up-to-date compiler
and without specifying any "-target" type options. The consequence of ignoring
this warning is that reflective operations on this class will incorrectly
indicate that it is *not* an inner class.

And one more thing, this same project works on other machine.

Answer 1

Right click your project and select "Run As" > "Run Configurations...". Check in the dialog that pops up whether you have "Launch Default Activity" selected in the Android tab:

It is likely that on the machine that keeps launching the old activity, it was set to launch that specific activity (the second radio button) by accident.
