title: "android.view.View cannot be cast to android.view.ViewGroup"  exception
body: <p>I am working on an android application and I added a xml layout file that should be a fragment later:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;View xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent" &gt;
  
      &lt;ImageView
          android:id="@+id/imgTile"
          android:src="@drawable/tile_background"
          android:contentDescription="@string/CD_TILE_BACKGROUND_IMAGE"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="match_parent"&gt;
      &lt;/ImageView&gt;
  
  &lt;/View&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to move back to the graphical layout in <code>Eclipse</code>, I get this exception in the error log:</p>
