[android-developers] Error at setting up a larger library project Android

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/projects/projects-eclipse.html#SettingUpLibraryProject and it worked without problems.

Did the same thing with an open soruce project (puzzle) http://code.google.com/p/androidsoft/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%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

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

public class AppActivity extends Activity {

Button button;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
addListenerOnButton();
}

public void addListenerOnButton() {

final Context context = this;

button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {

Intent intent = new Intent(context, org.androidsoft.games.puzzle.kids.MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);

}

});

}

}

AndroidManifest.xml in my main app with android:name="org.androidsoft.games.puzzle.kids.MainActivity

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.mkyong.android"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" />

<application
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<activity
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:name=".AppActivity" >

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="org.androidsoft.games.puzzle.kids.MainActivity">
</activity>
</application>

</manifest>


AndroidManifest.xml in puzzle that I want to use as a library http://code.google.com/p/androidsoft/source/browse/trunk/puzzle/AndroidManifest.xml
