I am running into trouble either setting up the support v7 GridLayout library in my IntelliJ project, or properly referencing it in my code.
I currently use the ActionBarSherlock and Facebook libraries in my project, and have set up the support GridLayout library the same way (not having source in the src folder, I told IntelliJ to use the project dir as a jar folder). Everything looked fine, built and deployed to my test device, but when I tried to inflate the layout, my app crashed.

IntelliJ is also telling me that my GridLayout is "not allowed here" in the XML designer, which I unable to find any help on in various search engines. My layout (truncated for length) is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:grid="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

Coles Notes: I have a support GridLayout in a RelativeLayout and a LinearLayout that sits on top, anchored at the bottom of the RelativeLayout.
The log indicates I am missing a class. I am hoping I just didn't set the library up properly, as I can't think of what else it could be. Hopefully someone with some IntelliJ/Android knowledge can point me in the right direction.
Please go easy on me if this question is missing some info - this is my first try at using stackoverflow to ask for help.
Thanks in advance
