one possible way: add Framelayout as root and then add textview and imageview like this

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<ImageView  
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 

    android:scaleType="center"
    android:src="@drawable/golden_gate" />

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_marginBottom="20dip"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|bottom"

    android:padding="12dip"

    android:background="#AA000000"
    android:textColor="#ffffffff"

    android:text="Golden Gate" />

 </FrameLayout>

You can use a FrameLayout as container and to overlay TextView on the ImageView and assign a background of lower alpha channel #AARRGGBB

You set the image as a background of your layout parent, for example RelativeLayout, and then you put and other layout with background transparent in the bottom of the first layout. Then we put your textView inside the second layout.
