Hi and thanks for any suggestion.
I need to put an ImageView to overlapp over a LinearLayout.
I have tried this:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/background"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/backgroundimage"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:src="@drawable/gradient_box"
android:layout_gravity="center"
/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_gravity="center">
But this is the result I get (the ImageView shrinks to a single line)
I have tried using RelativeLayout, this is the result I get.
CLOSE, but the ImageView now expands to fill all the available space and does not "wrap content" as I need to.
The desired result would be like this:
PS: I cannot use android:background="image" because i need to change it at runtime.
You can use a Relativ Layout that contains the LinearLayout and then align the ImageView with the LinearLayout
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/background"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/linear"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_gravity="center">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/backgroundimage"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/gradient_box"
android:layout_alignLeft="@id/linear"
android:layout_alignRight="@id/linear"
android:layout_alignTop="@id/linear"
android:layout_alignBottom="@id/linear"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:scaleType="fitCenter" />
If you just want to set the image as a background you can just set a background image for the linear layout:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/background"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/blue" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="@drawable/gradient_box"
android:layout_gravity="center">
PS: I cannot use android:background="image" because i need to change it at runtime.
Why not? Use setBackgroundResource .
