Try this:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <fragment
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/setRangeButton"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/setRange" />
</RelativeLayout>
