ClassNotFoundException during Android test instrument

I've seen many topics dealing with this error but could not found a working solution. So I'll try to describe the problem completely.

I've got a project and a project test. My project manifest :

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="com.toto.app"
  android:versionCode="3"
  android:versionName="0.3.1">
  ...
    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
    ...
    </application>
</manifest>

And my test project manifest :

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="com.toto.app.test"
  android:versionCode="1"
  android:versionName="1.0">
  <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />

  <instrumentation android:targetPackage="com.toto.app" android:name="android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner" />

  <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
    <uses-library android:name="android.test.runner" />
  </application>
</manifest>

Here is the activity i want to test : src/com/toto/app/activity/ListActivity, I've got a LaunchActivity (declared as start activity in manifest) that launch this activity.

And in the test, my ListActivityTest is in the same path (src/com/toto/app/activity). I've also tried with src/com/toto/app/test. The source is :

public class ListActivityTest extends  ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2<LaunchActivity>{

  private Solo solo;

  public ListActivityTest() {
    super(LaunchActivity.class);
  }

  public void setUp() throws Exception {
    solo = new Solo(getInstrumentation(), getActivity());
    solo.wait(2000);
  } 
}

The LaunchActivity seems to be found but when it launch the ListActivity, i've got the error :

% adb shell am instrument -w com.toto.app.test/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner

com.toto.app.activity.ListActivityTest:INSTRUMENTATION_RESULT: shortMsg=java.lang.ClassNotFoundException INSTRUMENTATION_RESULT: longMsg=java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.toto.app.activity.ListActivity in loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[/system/framework/android.test.runner.jar:/data/app/com.toto.app.test-2.apk:/data/app/com.toto.app-2.apk]

I don't understand why one class is found and the other is not... It fails in the same way in Eclipse. I tried to use directly ListActivity in the testcase but same error. How does it build this apk to avoid some class ?

This is the full stack when using adb.

The full stack in eclipse logcat :

It is because my activity extends a FragmentActivity, not a simple Activity.

To resolve the problem, I had to export android-support-v4.jar in the main project.

Hope that will help others...
