I am setting up to develop an libGDX Android app on Windows 10, latest Eclipse Mars.2, latest Android SDK and latest version of libGDX. I am following the setup instructions from here: Project Setup Gradle
and here:
Setting up your Development Environment (Eclipse, Intellij IDEA, NetBeans)
and here
I when I run my android app it crashes with output in logcat:

Any idea on what I am doing wrong?
Here is my android code which unchanged and generated by the libGDX setup process.
package com.mygdx.game;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.badlogic.gdx.backends.android.AndroidApplication;
import com.badlogic.gdx.backends.android.AndroidApplicationConfiguration;
import com.mygdx.game.MyGdxGame;
public class AndroidLauncher extends AndroidApplication {
@Override
protected void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
AndroidApplicationConfiguration config = new AndroidApplicationConfiguration();
initialize(new MyGdxGame(), config);
}
}
Here's my AndroidManifest.xml (again unchanged by be at all)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

If I try to run the App in the debugger I get this in the logcat as soon as I try and step over the first instruction:

I only had this problem with Eclipse. When I followed the setup instructions for Android Studio the issue did not occur.
