Image loaded in ImageView is hiding the button

When I am loading an image(more specifically, an image of portrait shape) in an ImageView that image is sometimes covering the Button which is above the ImageView. The ImageView has layout_width and layout_height set to wrap_content. My requirement is that the ImageView will wrap content but, won't cover up the button. I don't want to hardcode pixel values.

layout:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

    tools:context="mg.colorfilters.ResultActivity$PlaceholderFragment" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="320dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:background="@color/red"
        android:text="@string/string3"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textColor="@color/white"
        android:onClick="loadImageWithFilterOrSaveImage" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:src="@drawable/abc_ab_bottom_solid_dark_holo"
        android:contentDescription="@string/string4" />

</RelativeLayout>

You want your image to be at centre?

android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"

If yes, then may want to put your Button code below ImageView code, like

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:src="@drawable/abc_ab_bottom_solid_dark_holo"
    android:contentDescription="@string/string4" />

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_width="320dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:background="@color/red"
    android:text="@string/string3"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:textColor="@color/white"
    android:onClick="loadImageWithFilterOrSaveImage" />

This way the button will always be on top. If image is large, button will be visible on top of it. Use this solution only if you are OK with this behavior.

you can use a scrollview inside the relative layout and use a linear layout in vertical orientation in the scrollview...then add your button and imageview in the linear layout.....I havent tried this but i think this will work :D

In Your Layout.xml please insert android:layout_above="@+id/button1 line in <ImageView> tag.
