Error at setting up a larger library project Android

xtreme · by **xtreme** » Wed Aug 08, 2012 5:25 pm

Want to start a standalone android project with a button in another project. First made a simple main app with a button that was referring to another project with Hello World with "is Library in Preferences". All according http://developer.android.com/tools/proj ... aryProject and it worked without problems.

Did the same thing with an open soruce project (puzzle) http://code.google.com/p/androidsoft/so ... k%2Fpuzzle but get an error message in LogCat and my appa crashes when I click the button in my main app.

Guess I may have missed something in AndroidManifest.xml According to the documentation it says

Code: Select all: Declaring library components in the manifest file: You must declare any <activity>, <service>, <receiver>, <provider>, and so on, as well as <permission>, <uses-library>.

I can compile puzzle as their own project without any problems. If the puzzle is a library will not work.

My main app with a button that will start the second project
