Android: <include/> layout crashes application on landscape

I tried to use the include tag to reuse the layout code from the activity_main.xml and contact_details.xml during landscape mode. I would like to display the activity_main on the left and contact_details on the right. But the application crashes when I switch to landscape mode.

This is the coding for the activity_main.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<ListView
    android:id="@+id/list_data"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_weight="1" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/btnAddContact"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
    android:layout_weight="0"
    android:text="Add Contact" />

</LinearLayout>

This is the coding for contact_details.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/lvContactDetails"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
    </ListView>

</LinearLayout>

This is the coding for my layout-land/activity_main.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

<include layout="@layout/activity_main"/>
<View
    android:layout_width="1dp"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="#A3A3A3"/>

<include layout="@layout/contact_details"/>

</LinearLayout>

Any tips for resolving this problem? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Adinia for the suggestion. It was because I should not call back the same Layout name, which is activity_main.xml. This is the main cause of the crash. it might be a circular reference as Adinia had stated. Thanks again. By the way, I am only allowed to accept my answer in 2 days.

In your activity_main.xml ,contact_details.xml you are using

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

instead that try using

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

If not post you logcat report
