Android: Why is the name of the android application accepted as the name of the initial action?

Question

In my manifest file, I gave the application name as MyApp and the name of the initial action as the main menu.

<application android:theme="@style/theme" android:icon="@drawable/myicon" android:label="@string/app_name">
    <activity android:name=".MainMenu"
              android:label="@string/mainmenu_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

When I see the application icon on the default menu screen for Android, the name indicated is the Main menu. Why is MyApp not the name displayed for the application?

Answer 1

If android:labelset to activity, then its value is taken. It is omitted for activity, then instead of the attribute android:labelset to application.

Answer 3

In the manifest, remove the attribute android:labelat startup. Then the action inherits the name specified in the application android:label.
