Android App Runs in Emulator, But Not Listed In Launcher

Question

I am learning Android and can not get my program to show up in the program listings drawer of my Nexus S emulated device. When I load up the emulator, it does load my program successfully, after hitting "run new configuration". I know there are a ton of threads on this...but from what I can tell I have everything right in my manifest with:

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

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

Also, to be clear the run configuration in Eclipse does run my program successfully. It's just not in the apps menu/drawer of the emulated device to click and run:

Here is my manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.paad.toddolist"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="4"
        android:targetSdkVersion="15" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name="com.paad.toddolist.ToDoListActivity"
            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>

Here is my strings.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <string name="app_name">TodDoList</string>
    <string name="addItemHint">New To Do List</string>
    <string name="addItemContentDescription">New To Do Item</string>

</resources>

Try replacing

android:name="com.paad.toddolist.ToDoListActivity"

with

android:name=".ToDoListActivity"
