I think your activity EZImageActivity is declared in liberary manifest.Actual case androidManifest.xml merging is supported in version 20 of the ADT tools. Enable with the manifestmerger.enabled property.

Do I need to add all activities of referenced project to my current project's manifest ? – AddyProg May 05 '15 at 06:12
Not current project's manifest but the library project's manifest – aiRbornE May 05 '15 at 06:14
