Android Automotive: Could not identify launch activity: Default Activity not found

I have just created my first Android Automotive project:
when I run AndroidAutoDemo.mobile module it works fine:
Unfortunately when I switch to AndroidAutoDemo.automotive module I get:
Could not identify launch activity: Default Activity not found
Error while Launching activity
Failed to launch an application on all devices
This is the Android Manifest file in AndroidAutoDemo.automotive module (left as default):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.androidautodemo">
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.type.automotive"
android:required="true" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:appCategory="audio"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/Theme.AndroidAutoDemo" />
</manifest>
This is my mobile emulator:
How can I fix?

To run automotive app you need Automotive emulator and Automotive flavor with Manifest like below. Also there is no Automotive emulator provided by Google yet but you can get other open source emulator from like Polestar https://developer.polestar.com/sdk/polestar2-sys-img.xml
and Volvo https://developer.volvocars.com/sdk/volvo-sys-img.xml
You don't have to add new activity
if want to understand you can go through example source code
https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:car/app/app-samples/helloworld/
`
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Each Manifest file should include information about available activities and launcher activity. Launcher activity needs to be defined with some additional Intent filters, for example:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.car">
<uses-permission android:name="android.car.permission.CAR_POWERTRAIN" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.NoActionBar">
<activity android:name="com.example.car.MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

I can launch my app/emulator though but a few features does not work. Do you guys know what's happening? Also when I open AndroidManifest it's normal but when I launch emulator it turns red, if I exit and open again it's back to normal yellow, though there is a red underline under the destination activity problem

update this manifest file with your manifest, and rebuild.

Application package installer has stopped

I have copied my Manifest XML File. I am just not able to figure out the error. The application is running on my Redmi 1S but it is not running on my Micromax Canvas A110 I have already tried all the solutions which are already there on Stackoverflow related to this.

clean your project and if it doesn't work than close
the project and restart, create new apk and install

This error is come due to different android version of your both android phones.
Please check the configuration for both the phones and change according to that in manifest.xml file
android:minSdkVersion="11"
android:targetSdkVersion="19"
Thanks

Error on google maps

I have this error: Google Maps Android API﹕ Failed to load map. Error contacting Google servers. This is probably an authentication issue (but could be due to network errors)
I must say that I have requested API key with the debug keystore and I do have the needed permissions. Here is my Manifest:

Android. No Launcher activity found?

When I'm trying running my app:
No Launcher activity found!
The launch will only sync the application package on the device!
I've readed all questions about similar problems, I changed my manifest.xml but every time I get same error. I stucked for an hour trying to solve this and nothing works.
Here's my manifest fragment:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

What's wrong with this code?
Before it appears I just wanted to add new activity ...

< /uses-sdk > clear this tag at the end of your manifest and change this
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" > missing / here
to :
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
Also take these into your application tag :
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="YOUR_OWN_KEY" />
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start.
Check the link and the topic under Adding the API Key to your application

This is what you Manifest should look like:
Do note how the various tags have been opened and closed. And nested where required.
Also, read up on the Android Manifest Docs. That will ensure there is no confusion in the future. ;-)
