Thanks for your precious time!..

Answer 1

org.achartengine.GraphicalActivity wasn't found in your manifest because it is part of the library.

Add the following line to your project.properties file to enable automatic merging of manifests.

manifestmerger.enabled=true 

Edit:

I thought achartengine was a library project. Turns out it's a JAR.

You need to add the activity to your manifest:

<activity android:name="org.achartengine.GraphicalActivity" />

Answer 2

You need to add the activity to AndroidManifest.xml like this :

<activity android:name="org.achartengine.GraphicalActivity"></activity>
