    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/imgBtn0"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
        android:background="@android:color/transparent"
        android:src="@drawable/hole0" />

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/imgBtn1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginRight="5dp"

In your case I would use FrameLayout. One of it's purposes is ability to stack items on each other. Just google it and you will find plenty of tutorials.

What about wrapping your LinearLayout in a FrameLayout or RelativeLayout and then place the image above it?
