[android help] Android will crash depending on layout positioning

Here's the layout that works :

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/mainlayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

            android:id="@+id/tabs"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="48dip" >
    

            android:id="@+id/pager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        tools:context=".MainActivity" >
    

and here my Activity OnCreate method:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    pager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);

    adapter = new MyPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());

    pager.setAdapter(adapter);

    tabs = (PagerSlidingTabStrip) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
    tabs.setViewPager(pager);
    tabs.setDividerColor(Color.BLUE);
    tabs.setBackgroundColor(Color.DKGRAY);
    tabs.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
    tabs.setIndicatorColor(Color.GREEN);

}

If in the layout I inverse the PagerSlidingTabStrip and the ViewPager, the project will crash at startup, while in the first implementation, it will work fine.

Here's the error :

It appears that it can't retrieve de R.id.pager, I'm not sure.
