Simple but can't solve the markup document following the root element must be well formed

Question

Here is my xml code and I'm getting a "the markup document following the root element must be well formed"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<TextView 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/title_paired_devices"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/title_paired_devices"
    android:visibility="gone"
    android:background="#666"
    android:textColor="#fff"
    android:paddingLeft="5dp"
/>
<ListView android:id="@+id/paired_devices"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:stackFromBottom="true"
    android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<TextView android:id="@+id/title_new_devices"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/title_other_devices"
    android:visibility="gone"
    android:background="#666"
    android:textColor="#fff"
    android:paddingLeft="5dp"
/>
<ListView android:id="@+id/new_devices"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:stackFromBottom="true"
    android:layout_weight="2"
/>
<Button android:id="@+id/button_scan"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/button_scan"
/>

</menu>

It was originally a LinearLayout but following other answers to this problem, this still gives me an error

Shouldn't the document have just one element as root? I.e. all other elements must be enclosed in a single tag. Related question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7090577/android-app-the-markup-in-the-document-following-the-root-element-must-be-well — lucian.pantelimon, Feb 01 '13 at 15:28

You don't have an opening Menu tag as root.

Yes, I did not notice the `` at the end. – lucian.pantelimon Feb 01 '13 at 15:33
@Mau Try using `` after the `` tag as Stefan suggests, while removing the schema attribute from the `TextView` tag. – lucian.pantelimon Feb 01 '13 at 15:35

There's two problems, you have a closing menu tag with no opening one, and there's no layout for this to go into. Reference this: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/declaring-layout.html
