Error inflating class fragment - duplicate id/ille

Question

I'm trying make an app that I'm building take a search term from the main activity, return results, and then have the results be clickable such that a detail could be viewed from each results. I'm doing this by using a MainActivity, a ResultsActivity, and PlaceActivity and then a ListFragmentClickable (which extends ListFragment). If the handset is oriented in portrait mode, the results list should be viewable, with the details being viewed only if a result is clicked. If the handset is landscape, a detail window should pop up to the right of the list when an item is selected.

At runtime, I get an error that reads "error inflating class fragment". I have no idea what is causing it, and I'd love help in getting rid of it.

My ListFragmentClickables are called by my ResultsActivity, which is here:

public class ResultsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements ListFragmentClickable.OnItemSelectedListener{

private ArrayAdapter<String> mAdapter;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_results_view);

    //Receive searchTerm from MainActivity
    Intent intent = getIntent();
    String searchTerm = intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.SEARCH_TERM);

    mAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.item_label_list);

    FragmentManager     fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
    FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();

    FactualResponderFragment responder = (FactualResponderFragment) fm.findFragmentByTag("RESTResponder");
    if (responder == null) {
        responder = new FactualResponderFragment();
        ft.add(responder, "RESTResponder");
    }

    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putString("search_term", searchTerm);
    responder.setArguments(bundle);

    ft.commit();
}

public ArrayAdapter<String> getArrayAdapter() {
    return mAdapter;
}

@Override //creates a DetailFragment when a list item is selected
public void onItemSelected(String link) {
    DetailFragment fragment = (DetailFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.detailFragment);
    if (fragment != null && fragment.isInLayout()) {
          fragment.setText(link);
    } else {
      Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), PlaceActivity.class);
          intent.putExtra(PlaceActivity.EXTRA_URL, link);
      startActivity(intent);
    }
}

}

Here's the ListFragmentClickable class:

public class ListFragmentClickable extends ListFragment{

  private OnItemSelectedListener listener;


  public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { 
      View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_results_view, container, false);
      return view;
  }

  @Override
      public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
          updateDetail(); //see bottom
      }

  public interface OnItemSelectedListener {
      public void onItemSelected(String link);
  }

  @Override
  public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
      super.onAttach(activity);
      if (activity instanceof OnItemSelectedListener) {
          listener = (OnItemSelectedListener) activity;
      } else {
          throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString()
            + " must implemenet ListFragmentClickable.OnItemSelectedListener");
      }
  }


 public void updateDetail() {
        // Create fake data
    String newTime = String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis());
    // Send data to Activity
    listener.onItemSelected(newTime); //should direct PlaceActivity!!
  }
}

Here's my layout file for the ResultsActivity (activity_results_activity.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/fragment_content"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_marginTop="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
    class="com.example.blobtag2.ListFragmentClickable" ></fragment>


<ListView
    android:id="@android:id/list"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:divider="#b5b5b5"
    android:dividerHeight="1dp"></ListView>

</LinearLayout> 

And finally here's the log:

specifically the part at the end

Duplicate id 0x7f070003, tag null, or parent id 0x0 with another fragment for com.example.blobtag2.ListFragmentClickable

is telling you that at some point in the lifetime of your activity you're trying to create a view for ListFragmentClickable when one already exists. You need to figure out how this is occurring.
