How would I change this to make a differnet activity start first?

Answer 1

Open your AnroidManifest.xml file and set the Launching Activity using the intent-filter tag as follows,

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

Answer 2

You need to add an intent filter to the activity you want to start on application launch in your app's AndroidManifest.xml:

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