</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

It works fine If I take out the LinearLayout can someone please help me with formatting it to run properly. Thanks in advance.

Try adding a default android:layout_width, android:layout_height, and android:orientation to your LinearLayout.

EDIT: Also, add an ID to the View above the LinearLayout.
