I am trying to create an splash screen activity which will do some pre required Network calls before the real app starts. However, the app icon does not show in "all apps" on android. Can you help me? Here is my manifest code related to the activity:
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:noHistory="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<data android:mimeType="application/pdf" />
<data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
<data android:mimeType="application/rtf" />
<data android:mimeType="image/jpeg" />
<data android:mimeType="image/png" />
<data android:mimeType="image/tiff" />
<data android:mimeType="image/bmp" />
<data android:mimeType="image/gif" />
<data android:mimeType="application/postscript" />
<data android:mimeType="application/msword" />
<data android:mimeType="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet" />
<data android:mimeType="application/vnd.ms-powerpoint" />
<data android:mimeType="application/vnd.ms-excel" />
<data android:mimeType="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
The complete application code from the manifest looks like this:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar" >

</application>
you must create separate
intent-filter
to each action:
