I'm trying to get an Activity which will work with a fragment (I wil work with more fragments later). I created both a class and a layout for such fragment, and included them at Activity's layout.

Classes

This is what my Activity class looks like:

public class Expressa extends ActionBarActivity {

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


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

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

This is what Fragment's class looks like:

public class MessageFragment extends Fragment {

    EditText messageField;
    private onNewMessageListener  listener;

    public View OnCreateVie(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.message_fragment_layout,container,false);

         messageField = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.messageField);

        return view;
    }

    public void doTextToSpeech(View view) {

        String text = messageField.getText().toString().trim();
        new TextToSpeechServices().execute(text);
    }

    public interface onNewMessageListener {

        public void newMessage(String msg);

    }

}

Layouts

Activity layout:

LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://ift.tt/nIICcg"
    xmlns:tools="http://ift.tt/LrGmb4"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:baselineAligned="false"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <fragment
        android:id="@+id/messageFragment"
        class="apps.android.expressa.expressa.MessageFragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        tools:layout="@layout/message_fragment_layout" />
</LinearLayout>

Fragment's:

However I'm always getting an IllegalStateException complaining MessageFragment didn't create a view.

This is fragment's layout and this is complete stacktrace What have I got wrong?
