Java – andengine – cannot instantiate activity

I'm a novice in Android development. I have a problem using andengine I tried to run an empty application, but got a runtime error as follows:

I try to replace the entire package name with Testappactivity, but no luck However, it works when I extend testappactivity from activity instead of basegameactivity

Any help appreciated, Sammy

Solution

Error: unable to resolve the superclass of LCOM / myapps / testapp / testappactivity, and it works when you inherit from activity, which indicates that you do not include andengine Library in APK - so basegameactivity cannot be found at run time

Ensure that the andengine dependency is located in the LIBS directory of the Android project; Not just add to the eclipse classpath

In fact, if you have the latest Android eclipse plug-ins, if you just put them in LIBS, any dependencies will be automatically included in your APK
