My Activity:

package com.bvblogic.android.batterypower.activities;

import com.bvblogic.android.batterypower.R;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;

public class UnlockActivity extends Activity {  
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.settings_auto_saving_layout);
    }
}

Then i'm assigned intent-filter to BatteryPowerTabActivity application started fine. Please help me. Thanks

When upgrading, the 'Order and Export' of the new 'Android Private Libraries' is not always checked. And the android-support-v4.jar is now in this 'Android Private Libraries' section.

To fix this, go to 'Order and Export' and check 'Android Private Libraries'. Then refresh/clean/rebuild.

After you done this 'fix' for a library project, you may need to just close and re-open any depending project, because they may not see this 'fix' immediately.
