Don't see my app when running Android Studio emulator

Viewed 18168

I followed the introductory tutorial on creating my first android app. However, when I run the emulator I don't see my app icon anywhere so I can't test it.

Here is my AndroidManifest.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.me.learning">

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity
            android:name="com.example.me.learning.MyActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity
            android:name="com.example.me.learning.DisplayMessageActivity"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_display_message"
            android:parentActivityName="com.example.me.learning.MyActivity"
            android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
                android:value="com.example.me.learning.MyActivity" />
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

I see the icons here: enter image description here

Here is the console output for the AVD:

Hax is enabled Hax ram_size 0x60000000 HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode. console on port 5554, ADB on port 5555

Console for the app:

03/10 16:18:36: Launching app

So both the avd and the app seem to load okay, but I don't see app anywhere in the emulator. What am I missing?

Here is the screen: enter image description here

Here is the main home screen: enter image description here

The app doesn't show up.

Run the apk file to install directly, drag the file from a folder in your pc to the emulator
