Why do some app choices, appear with a filename and the default android icon instead of the app icon

A

AC Question

When I perform an action that can be done with multiple apps, some of the apps offered show up with a filename and the default android green robot icon. Like com.ebay.mobile rather than showing the ebay app icon and name.

It looks like all the apps affected are on the SD Card.

This never happened on any other Android phone I had.

And when I look at the apps in Settings > apps > All, I also only see the filename and default app icon for the ones on SD card.

How can I fix that?

The phone is a Motorola G gen 2
Running Android 5.0.2

Any ideas?
