Answer 1

remove it from fragment class in your xml :

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Not sure if I'm helpful here but i only declare the Namespace once in my case in the

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent" >

  <fragment class="com.blablabla.MyFragment"
        android:id="@+id/fragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
 </RelativeLayout>
