...I really don't understand how something this simple (and I have
done it before) doesn't work. I'm pretty sure it will turn out that I
am missing something obvious.

I just created a MapView, all it does is show the map and when I
allocate mapView to it's layout, there's a ClassCastException:

import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity;
import com.google.android.maps.MapView;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;



public class PPMMap extends MapActivity {

        public MapView mapView;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        mapView =  (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview); // THROWS
CLASSCASTEXCEPTION
        mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);


    }

        @Override
        protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                return false;
        }

}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
    android:id="@+id/mapview"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

     <com.google.android.maps.MapView
                 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                 android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                 android:apiKey="****************"
                 />

</RelativeLayout>

Call me an idiot, but I just don't get it.
