I can get the sample APK CompassActivity app to run on Glass but no luck with LevelActivity or StopWatchActivity? I am using Eclipse. Log below. Any suggestions?

[2013-07-29 17:02:18 - LevelActivity] Android Launch!
[2013-07-29 17:02:18 - LevelActivity] adb is running normally.
[2013-07-29 17:02:18 - LevelActivity] No Launcher activity found!
[2013-07-29 17:02:18 - LevelActivity] The launch will only sync the application package on the device!
[2013-07-29 17:02:18 - LevelActivity] Performing sync
[2013-07-29 17:02:28 - LevelActivity] Uploading LevelActivity.apk onto device '015DA7720F00D016'
[2013-07-29 17:02:28 - LevelActivity] Installing LevelActivity.apk...
[2013-07-29 17:02:29 - LevelActivity] Success!
[2013-07-29 17:02:29 - LevelActivity] /LevelActivity/bin/LevelActivity.apk installed on device
[2013-07-29 17:02:29 - LevelActivity] Done!
Go to Run > Run Configurations
. Then, under Launch Action
, change it from Launch Default Activity
to Launch:
and select the activity listed in the dropdown (e.g.com.google.glass.samples.stopwatch.StopWatchActivity
). Hit Apply and try running the APK again.
The reason you have to do this is because the main activity for the sample code does not have <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
in its <intent-filter>
. Not having a launcher is intentional: there was a pull request on one of the APK GitHub samples in the past and the response was:
Thank you for the pull request; however, Glassware will not be launched in this fashion.
You can invoke hidden apps using Glass Launcher
If the App doesn't show up in the voice intentable menu, you can find it in glass-launcher. Glass Launcher stays a live card when your app is on.
Download the source https://github.com/justindriggers/Glass-Launcher
Open Glass Launcher and scroll to your app.
Edit: you would have to linked GDK to compile.
Here is a compiled APK for Glass-Launcher for your convenience
