No Launcher activity found error on Eclipse - Google Glass XE 18.11

Question

I'm trying to run the sample code from the following

https://github.com/googleglass/gdk-waveform-sample

I know the sample is based on older version, but I'm trying to make it work with the current version.

I'm getting

> [2014-06-15 23:16:45 - WaveformActivity] Android Launch! [2014-06-15
> 23:16:45 - WaveformActivity] adb is running normally. [2014-06-15
> 23:16:45 - WaveformActivity] No Launcher activity found! [2014-06-15
> 23:16:45 - WaveformActivity] The launch will only sync the application
> package on the device! [2014-06-15 23:16:45 - WaveformActivity]
> Performing sync

Here's the AndroidManifest.xml

    </application>

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

Answering to my own question, basically I had to add the following line to the Manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.glass.permission.DEVELOPMENT" />

Answer 2

You don't have a main activity, only a voice trigger.

So , to run your application you need to call it via "ok, glass" -> "show me a demo" voice trigger.

Also, if you want to run the application automatically from eclipse (not the Glassware way), you should set the a Main activity adding the intent filters:

 <activity  android:name="com.google.android.glass.sample.waveform.WaveformActivity" >
      <intent-filter>
         <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
     <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         <action android:name="com.google.android.glass.action.VOICE_TRIGGER" />
      </intent-filter>
            <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.glass.VoiceTrigger"
                android:resource="@xml/trigger_show_me_a_demo" />
 </activity>

And set this main activity in the Project Launch configuration. In the project Run As -> Run Configuration. Select "Launch" and your main activity. In this case WaveformActivity.

Answer 3

you need to add in manifest file

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