Adding a Google Maps Android API v2 MapFragment and a View in a FrameLayout

Question

Ok guys, I'm having a problem. I'm trying to put a MapFragment and a View in a FrameLayout. Sounds like something pretty basic, yet I can't do it. I keep getting this :

Here's the layout :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <FrameLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

        <fragment
            android:id="@+id/map"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment" />

        <view
            android:id="@+id/myview"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
            class="com.google.android.view.View" />
    </FrameLayout>

</LinearLayout>

Here's the code :

package com.example.testarc;

import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

public static MapFragment mapFragment;
public static View myView;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    mapFragment = (MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
    GoogleMap map = mapFragment.getMap();

    myView = (MyView)findViewById(R.id.myview);
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    return true;
}

}

Thanks in advance.

Ok, I got it, it's really stupid : it's android.view.View, not com.google.android.view.View... Obviously. (today is not my day)
