Care to specify what "no matter what I do" means?  What have you done?

All you have to do is specify the android:label attribute of your
activity... You can set it to whatever you want.

[android-developers] App Name appears as Activity Name

[Tre Stange]

Hi there.

I've created an App and I can not get the app name to appear below the icon 
on the app list. It show's the Activity name and no matter what I do, I 
can't get the actual app name to display. Anyone ever run into such an 
issue, have any thoughts on conquering this oddity??

Thank you!

Excellent idea.  Perhaps a thesaurus will help?

[android-developers] APP Name

[Rahul Kaushik]

My android app has a two word app name, and the 2nd word doesn't fit on the
first line below the app icon. The OS doesn't automatically carry the 2nd
word over to the 2nd line so it just gets cut off.
pls suggest the way

Re: [android-developers] App Name

[Dianne Hackborn]

I would recommend against this.  What do you think is going to happen in
all of the places where this label is shown as a single line?

At the very least, the correct way to do a line break in Android is with
just "\n"; don't include a "\r".

"Stable"? Do you mean "does it work"? I'm guessing "no", but this should
take you approximately 25 seconds to test for yourself.

Try the android:label attribute on the  element. The one on
 controls the launcher icon. The one on  should
control what shows up in the application list.

Mark:

But that's actually what I have set now:



This is the main activity w/ the launcher intent.  It's also the label that
shows up in the App list.  Is there any way to specify the label that shows
up as the App name in the App list to be different than the label on the
launcher activity?

[android-developers] App name/icon problems on Hero after reboot

[Robert Green]

Yes, the test phone is running 1.5.

We've tested a manifest that has @string/app_name for both the app
label and launch activity label and it doesn't seem to be fixing it.

Uninstall, reboot, install -> Works correctly, reboot -> breaks

That's what we've tried.  Have you found any fixes yet?  Apparently a
few apps have been fixed but I'm not finding out any details on how
they've done it yet.  It certainly would be nice if they'd share this
information with the rest of us!

By the way, can we somehow change the subject of this thread to "App
name/icon problems on Hero after reboot" ?

Thanks!
