u r probably right, here it is: " http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:id="@+id/dialogLayout" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" > " it's pretty simple and straightforward...

[android-developers] Re: Layout file not recognized as such in eclipse
You're missing a > at the end of the LinearLayout declaration. However, I've noticed the same error, where eclipse wouldn't recognize a layout file as such (so that I could get a preview of it), but when I ran it in the emulator, it ran fine and the layout displayed fine (so I assume no error in the layout file). I believe this may have happened when I copied a layout file from another project into the folder directly.

Being in danger of stating the obvious :-) Did you try to look at Eclipse's 'Open With' menu-item. Maybe you have it open as a regular XML file and this mode sticks. Right click on your XML file and do 'Open With' and see if an Android Plugin editor is offered as an alternative.
