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"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="androidx.car.app.sample.helloworld"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<!-- Various required feature settings for an automotive app. -->
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.type.automotive"
android:required="true" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.software.car.templates_host"
android:required="true" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.wifi"
android:required="false" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.screen.portrait"
android:required="false" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.screen.landscape"
android:required="false" />
<application
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:extractNativeLibs="false">
<meta-data
android:name="com.android.automotive"
android:resource="#xml/automotive_app_desc"
tools:ignore="MetadataTagInsideApplicationTag" />
<meta-data android:name="androidx.car.app.minCarApiLevel"
android:value="1"
tools:ignore="MetadataTagInsideApplicationTag" />
<service
android:name="androidx.car.app.sample.helloworld.common.HelloWorldService"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="androidx.car.app.CarAppService" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
<activity
android:name="androidx.car.app.activity.CarAppActivity"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.NoActionBar"
android:exported="true"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="distractionOptimized" android:value="true"/>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
`

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>

MapService is missing from the AndroidManifest.xml file

I want to use HereMap SDK in my android app. I followed official tutorial https://developer.here.com/documentation/android-premium/dev_guide/topics/app-create-simple.html.
When I run app, I get an error message:
MapService is missing from the AndroidManifest.xml file. Please refer to the user guide for details about proper project setup.
The message address missing MapService, but I have already added MapService to AndroidManifest.xml. This is my AndroidManifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Can you help me in this situation? Thank you all!

I am using HereMap SDK version 3.13.3, I have modified HereMap service declaration as folowings so now it works brilliant. Note that I use string directly com.heremapproject.myapp instead of #string/here_map_intent_name inside <intent-filter>
<service
android:name="com.here.android.mpa.service.MapService"
android:label="HereMapService"
android:exported="false" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.heremapproject.myapp" ></action>
</intent-filter>
</service>

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)

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. ;-)
