Can't run app on old API level in emulator

Question

My app developed using API 19, but I include support library v4 and trying run it in emulator under API 8 (using eclipse). So my app crashes with error java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo / java.lang.ClassNotFoundException of my ActivityMain.

I have also included in my project several libs such as jsoup and GA.

Any suggestions? Thanx

you should extend ActionBarActivity if you want to support the actionbar for < API 11

public class ActivityMain extends ActionBarActivity

Instead of:

public class ActivityMain extends FragmentActivity
