Hi Johan,

why are you trying to misuse the system so hard? Can you provide us with your

Yep.

The Interface interface is just the default. Sometimes you want views to 
provide other interfaces.

This will not work, because layer is the actual layer interface. However, 
queryAdapter expects an object that provides the layer interface. This object 
is usually known as the request.
