Put a TextView in front of a ImageView

Im searching a way how to fix a TextView on a ,for example, transparent square like in the Picture I did in Paint.net .So the TextView should in front of the transparent square (ImageView).Also it should stretch when the screen is bigger.

You can use RelativeLayout or FrameLayout for that.

<FrameLayout>
   <ImageView>
   <TextView>
</FrameLayout>

Your textview will appear on ImageView.

Although note that, RelativeLayout has double taxation tradeoff. Each measure and layout happens twice.

Simply ordering the items in RelativeLayout from top to bottom in the XML will make each in turn move to the front compared to the others above it.

Use a FrameLayout

<FrameLayout
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/semi_transparent_background"/>

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:text="This is my text."/>

</FrameLayout>

Alternatively, you could do something similar with a relative layout.
