Placing a view above another view in android

Sometime we want to place a view above another view. For example, a textView on top of imageView.

We use FrameLayout to do this.

<FrameLayout

 android:layout_width="wrap_content"

 android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

 <ImageView

android:id="@+id/f"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

 android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_gravity="center"

android:contentDescription="null"

android:src="@drawable/abc" />

<TextView

 android:layout_width="wrap_content"

 android:layout_height="50dp"

 android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"

 android:layout_marginTop="70dp"

 android:text="Text above image"

 android:textColor="#ffffff"

android:textSize="26sp" />

</FrameLayout>

View at bottom of Framelayout will display on top.

Run to see the result.
