If you look at the directory structure you see two projects: your app and a library project. So one Manifest-file is for your App and the other is for your the Library-project.

The screenshot you have attached shows that you have been created a project and then added a library file for support. Remove the library if you don't need of that.

Right click on project->Build Path->Configure Build Path->Library

Select that library and remove. Now check your project.
