Android homescreen shortcut permission error

Question

In my program it adds a shortcut to the screen. I get the icon on the screen fine, but when I tap it, I get:

03-01 20:00:29.410: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(796): java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent { data=http://www.example.com/ flags=0x14000000 comp={com.isaacwaller.example/com.isaacwaller.example.ExampleCut} } from ProcessRecord{435c7398 796:android.process.acore/10005} (pid=796, uid=10005) requires null

Do you know the problem? Thanks,
Isaac

Answer 1

I had something like this happen when I had accidentally duplicated the activity tag for one of my activities in my manifest. I had something like this in my application section.

<activity android:name=".ConventionHome" android:label="@string/app_name">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

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

When I removed the second activity tag, things started working normally.
