Apps first activity when application starts

[j_p36]

I am working on Mac OS, using eclipse. I am developing for Android 1.5, sdk version 3.

I created a project and decided to start the program with a login page. called UploadLogin.java with a layout called login.xml. In the process of creating and planning I decided that starting at the login screen isn't the best option and that it should only go to that screen when clicked from a menu. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to get the application to start my new activity first. The new activity is called Portals.java with a layout called portals.xml.

I thought that changing AndroidManifest.xml would fix this problem. Originally it was

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
        <activity android:name="[B].UploadLogin[/B]"
                  android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

    </application>

I changed it to

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
        <activity android:name="[B].Portals[/B]"
                  android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

    </application>

bolded to illustrate change.

when I run the emulator it still boots the program to the login page... I have cleaned the project and it still does this.

Please help me out. I'm stuck and need to move on from this.



Wow, nevermind, I figured out my problem.... I had copied a file and forgot to change the setContentView in Portals.java... So this is non issue.
