Android ClassNotFoundException on start using ABS and SlidingMenu

I am running an Android application using ActionBarSherlock and SlidingMenu librairies and IntelliJ IDEA IDE. I had a lot of problems to enable 2 librairies, but finally tried many different project structures, the project compiled without errors.

But now, when I run my application, I have a ClassNotFoundException:

03-06 20:21:17.046: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(301): FATAL EXCEPTION: main java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{org.istic.tonightsbar/org.istic.tonightsbar.StartActivity}: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.istic.tonightsbar.StartActivity in loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[/data/app/org.istic.tonightsbar-1.apk] at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2585) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2679) at android.app.ActivityThread.access$2300(ActivityThread.java:125) at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:2033) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4627) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:521) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:868) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:626) at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.istic.tonightsbar.StartActivity in loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[/data/app/org.istic.tonightsbar-1.apk] at dalvik.system.PathClassLoader.findClass(PathClassLoader.java:243) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:573) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:532) at android.app.Instrumentation.newActivity(Instrumentation.java:1021) at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2577) ... 11 more

I read a lot of topics about this error, but I did not find a solution with IntelliJ. What can I fix this problem?

AndroidManifest.xml:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="org.istic.tonightsbar" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0"> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="16"/> <application android:label="@string/app_name"> <activity android:name=".StartActivity" android:label="@string/app_name"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> </manifest>

And StartActivity.java:

 package org.istic.tonightsbar; import android.os.Bundle; import com.actionbarsherlock.app.ActionBar; import com.slidingmenu.lib.SlidingMenu; import com.slidingmenu.lib.app.SlidingFragmentActivity; public class StartActivity extends SlidingFragmentActivity { /** * Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { setTheme(R.style.Theme_Sherlock); super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); ActionBar ab = getSupportActionBar(); ab.setIcon(android.R.drawable.btn_plus); //ab.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.background_actionbar)); // customize the SlidingMenu SlidingMenu menu = getSlidingMenu(); menu.setMode(SlidingMenu.LEFT); menu.setTouchModeAbove(SlidingMenu.TOUCHMODE_FULLSCREEN); menu.setShadowWidthRes(R.dimen.shadow_width); // menu.setShadowDrawable(R.drawable.shadow); // menu.setBehindOffsetRes(R.dimen.actionbar_home_width); menu.setFadeEnabled(true); menu.setFadeDegree(0.95f); menu.setTouchModeAbove(SlidingMenu.TOUCHMODE_MARGIN); } }
