Error while Launching activity

Did you try the suggestions here: stackoverflow.com/q/20915266? Or stackoverflow.com/q/41909487, or stackoverflow.com/q/19670607. — Mike M.
Clean the project, delete the build directory from root and app folder , restart android studio, rebuild and run. — Mohit
No, it doesn't solve the problem.. It works fine in nougat and marshmallow devices but the problem exists only in oreo — Amrita Stha
your package name is "com.zzz.com.z"; a more standard package name would be "com.zzz.com" — King of Masses

The problem could be in your Manifest file. Check AndroidManifest.xml file.

Check the presence of those intent-filters inside your Activity declaration. Like below.

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

If this information is there, maybe some cache problem occurred. Then, try this:

Go to File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart...
