[Interest] Wrong app name on android

There I have: android:label="@string/app_name"

Which in android world is a reference to a string in the resources file. I guess Qt is supplying the project name, not the Application Name.

I manually edited the label for the activity and it and works! I think this should be a bug. So I made one.
