Android App Name Not Being Displayed

My Android app is not displaying the application name 'app_name', instead its displaying the activity name 'title'. This is from my manifest file;

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

so application label is of no use.

Solution 2:

You can only display one label at a time. Application label or Activity label.

If you set a label and run an activity, you will see the Activity label.

To see Application label, doesn't set android:label="@string/title" on Main activity.

Solution 3:

I have the same problem, solution for me:

on MainActivity.java change:

publicclassMainActivityextendsActivity {...}

for

publicclassMainActivityextendsAppCompatActivity {...}

Solution 4:

You can just set your launcher activitys label as the app name and then set the actionBar title manually in code for that activity

getSupportActionBar().setTitle(R.string.title_user_login);

This is of course if you are using an action bar. Normal activity title headings are ugly anyway!

EDIT: saying that you can see the text change on start up!

Solution 5:

Even I noticed the same and seems that is a bug! You should report it to google :)
