Thanks to everyone for contributing to this longish discussion. Changing the line in the manifest fixed the problem. As far as debug is concerned I set it in the manifest as Eclipse didn't seem to set it by default.
The overall project is to use an Android tablet as an embedded application which means there has to be an A. external method for powering the tablet on and off (maybe via a small microcontroller), B. autostart an application at bootup - which is what this string is about, and the last requirement - C remove the key unlock screen. A. external startup is complete View at http://tombtalk.net/?p=627 as this is about hardware B. Start app at bootup is mostly complete thanks to all of your help. C. Remove or bypass key slide lock - being researched. There seems to be some uncertainty about how to do this. I'll report back as I learn stuff. All of the above available on a small blog. http://tombtalk.net Best Tom B On Feb 23, 5:06 pm, Ted Scott <[email protected]> wrote: > That's one error and certainly explains the class not found exception. > > I'm not sure but you also might need a default category for the activity > definition. > <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> > > What do you mean by you have to debug as an Android?
