个人按下面顺序排查：

1.

在Manifest.xml中查看Activity的名字是否书写正确。

2.

在Manifest.xml确认Activity标签中的android:name属性的格式，例如我的activity的名字是helloworld，确认android:name=”.helloworld”（其中的点很重要）。

3.

如果有添加外部包的情况下，在工程根目录下建libs目录，然后将需要导入的外部包放入此目录内再add jars。

4.

如果上面都确保OK的情况下仍发生问题的话，clean工程->关闭eclipse->在命令行中重启adb（adb kill-server adbstart-server）->打开eclipse->编译启动。

 

上面4步基本能解决问题。
