I have read that the problem is with the activity on the manifest and here is my class and the manifest class

package com.georgepanayi.mixfmcyprus.radio;

import org.holoeverywhere.app.Activity;

import android.os.Bundle;

public class Main_Activity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_mix_fm__main);
    }

}

manifest

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

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="10"
        android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.Mixfmradio" >
        <activity
            android:name=".Main_Activity"
            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>

Also I'm using libraries like Holoeverywhere, SherlockActionBar 4.3.1 and ViewPagerIndicator 2.4.1

can anyone find the problem?

Thank you

The problem was with the Holoeverywhere. what I have done in order to solve the problem was to go to the properties of my project -> Java build path -> order and export and then select the option android private libraries. then i have added the android:name="org.holoeverywhere.app.Application" inside of the tag in the manifest.
