How to add MapView and other component in a LinearLayout?

Question

I have seen many related questions but I can not spot where I am doing it wrong. I appreciate if anyone can help me. When I add only one MapView to the LinearLayout, map is working fine. But when I try to add one button or textView or anything in the layout it crashes in run time!

I have three separate fragments. First one is called FragmentA.java and Fragment_a.xml

Here is Fragment_a.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent">
<com.google.android.maps.MapView android:id="@+id/mapView"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    />
<Button android:id="@+id/googlemaps_select_location"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:text="Select"/>
</RelativeLayout>

And here is

FragmentA.java

I am not sure if

        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_a, container, false);

is correct. fragment_a, as I said is the name of the fragment which contain complete view:

    public class FragmentA  extends Fragment {

            MapView mapView;
            GoogleMap map;

            @Override
            public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_a, container, false);

                // Gets the MapView from the XML layout and creates it
                mapView = (MapView) v.findViewById(R.id.mapView);
                mapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

                // Gets to GoogleMap from the MapView and does initialization stuff
                map = mapView.getMap();
                map.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(false);
                map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);

                MapsInitializer.initialize(this.getActivity());

                // Updates the location and zoom of the MapView
                CameraUpdate cameraUpdate = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(43.1, -87.9), 10);
                map.animateCamera(cameraUpdate);

                return v;
            }

            @Override
            public void onResume() {
                mapView.onResume();
                super.onResume();
            }

            @Override
            public void onDestroy() {
                super.onDestroy();
                mapView.onDestroy();
            }

            @Override
            public void onLowMemory() {
                super.onLowMemory();
                mapView.onLowMemory();
            }
}

I got the error which says, inflate exception binary xml file line #10 error inflating class fragment.

There is no com.google.android.maps.MapView in Maps V2. The class name is com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView.
