App isn't launching in Android Studio Emulator

Issue

Ok, so as the title says, my Android app doesn't want to launch itself in a running emulator. The Emulator itself is a Nexus 5 running API 23 (Android 6.0 Marshmallow).

I know I should be asked how I wish to launch my application if the Emulator is off, from a window pop up which asks whether I want to use a running device or start one from AVD, however, I do not get this.

The code taken from my manifest is below. (If any other information is needed ask away and I will upload it)

Solution

You do not have a launcher activity. Hence, Android Studio does not know how to start a launcher activity for your app, and so it will not offer to run your app.

On your LogInScreen manifest entry, you replaced android.intent.action.MAIN with com.example.michael.whatsuplondon.MAINACTIVITY. Change that back to android.intent.action.MAIN.

Also, in the future, do not post screenshots of IDE windows, when you can post the actual text instead (e.g., of the manifest, in this case).
