EDITED
Now I have change the xml to a Relative Layout, same issues, but here is another issue I found:
at android.app.Fragment.performCreateView(Fragment.java:2508)
Here is the section of the Fragment.java:
if (mFragmentManager != null) {
        writer.print(prefix); writer.print("mFragmentManager=");
        writer.println(mFragmentManager);
    }
