Fatal exception: main android eclipse

Question

I have viewed most of the other threads regarding this error but have not found an answer.

I started a new project a couple of weeks ago using a plugin and the example project with the plugin. Added various of my own features and designs and no problems running the project.

Then updated to ADT 17 2 days ago and this seriously messed things up for me. Started getting class path errors to name a few. I then reverted back to adt 16 which fixed the errors and my project compiles fine but as soon as i run it it crashes on the test device.

I have checked that my compliance level is correct, checked library paths, api versions, manifest xml, basically everything. I do not get how something that use to work perfectly can now just not work.

I proceeded to unistall everything and did a reinstall on the sdk's ADT and java, but to no avail, even just trying to run the example project just crashes.

I have aslo uninstalled the app from the device and rbooted the device and cleared the cache. I am at the end of my rope. Like i say, i have checked libraries and everything, its just this runtime error.

I also increased the connection time out, and added "android:installLocation="preferExternal" to my manifest, no change.

Please help, there cant be an issue with the code as it worked perfectly.

Please see the code for the starting activity:

For me, when I installed ADT 17 I have problems using 3rd party libraries (It kept telling me there were duplications). It turns out that they no longer need to be added to the build path; just kept in a folder in the root of your project called "libs". Could this be the same problem?
