Answer 1

In <application /> tag

<activity
    android:name="YourActivity" >
</activity>

OR from Application Tab:

NOTE: YOU MUST extends Activity in your Activity class.

Answer 2

Seems to be you set the name value on the application tab. That should work fine and dandy

It should come out looking like this:

If you notice when you add an application node, aka activities, broadcast receivers, and services, you set the name of these as the "path" to the class. That's the same with the Application's name.

Answer 3

Easy. follow the steps.

1. Open your manifest file in Eclipse.

2. In the bottom tab you will find five options. Manifest, Application, Permissions, Instruments, Your_Manifest.xml

3. Click on Application tab and you will see nice GUI which would look something like this

4. Now see the option Application nodes click on the Add button and it will ask you what you would like to add

5. Select Activity and click ok it will provide you new form kind of thing for you to fill in just add your activity name and other attributes/properties etc.

PS: This is just too much work for me I follow keyboard way it feels faster. just press Ctrl+Space and it does the work for you. :P
