No launcher activity found! Can't get widget to work

Question

I've created an app widget that has the following classes and xml files: AFBWidget.java

WidgetConfig.java (Configuration screen for users to input something into a textfield that shows up in the widget layout)

widget.xml (the layout of the actual widget)

widgetconfig.xml (same as widgetconfig.java ((except it is the actual layout)))

widget_stuff.xml (the android appwidget provider)

Here is my Manifest:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.awesomefilebuilderwidget"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="18" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

<receiver android:name=".AFBWidget" android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.appwidet.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE"/>
</intent-filter>

    <meta-data android:name="android.appwidget.provider"
    android:resource="@xml/widget_stuff"/>

</receiver>

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

</intent-filter>

</activity>

<activity android:name=".widget" android:label="@string/app_name">
    <intent-filter>

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

</intent-filter>
</activity>

</application>

</manifest>

Originally, I didn't have the .widget activity in there and I didn't have the

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

either, so I got the error "No laucher activity found!". So to fix that, I added the launcher to my appwidget config and it fixed the error but then the widget would stop working and force close on the emulator.

My issue is that I don't know what activity to put the launcher on to make the widget work without crashing.

Answer 1

I FINALLY FIXED IT AFTER 3 DAYS! Ok, so it was indeed because my two java classes were in a default package. So to fix that, since my classes were being accessed via a different package, I created a new package that was my app (com.example.awesomefilebuilderwidget) and then moved the classes into there and now it works with no problemos! :DD Thanks for all you've done I really do apperciate it! – user1628978
