How to merge one layout with another according to an specific view of the second layout?

I have two layouts. The first only has a TextView and the second has the below code.

I want to merge these two layouts in a way where the first layout displays the aforementioned TextView with the id "arry" of the second layout. I do this using a FrameLayout but for this I have to set top margin for the first layout.

I do not want to do this because the first layout will move up and down according to the screen size change. Can anybody tell me how to do this without setting such margin? I want to get the position of the TextView and after that I want to set the first layout programmatically. Here is the aforementioned code:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
    tools:context="com.example.user_17.hashmapbasics.MainActivity">


    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/img"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <TextView

        android:id="@+id/text"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/arry"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/arry1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="" />
</LinearLayout>

you can use "include" for merge two different layout

<include android:id="@+id/layout" layout="@layout/first_layout" android:layout_gravity="center" />

Have you tried include layout?

If your given layout xml file is, suppose "your_layout.xml" Then you can go to you the layout where the TextView is then just below that add this line:

<include layout="@layout/your_layout"/>

For Example: 

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="@+id/your_parent_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@color/app_bg"
android:gravity="center_horizontal">

<TextView android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:text="@string/hello"
          android:padding="10dp" />

 <include layout="@layout/your_layout"/>

</LinearLayout>

Try this one:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
    tools:context="com.example.user_17.hashmapbasics.MainActivity">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/img"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="" />

    <include
        android:id="@+id/first_layout_id"
        layout="@layout/first_layout"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/arry"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/arry1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="" />
</LinearLayout>

where first_layout - your first layout xml file.

Update:

For insert layout programmatically You can use this answer of antonyt user:

When adding a View to a ViewGroup, you can specify an index which sets the position of the view in the parent.

You have two views and so (counting from zero) you would want to add at the 1st position; just call ll.addView(view, 1); to have it placed in between the two TextViews.

In your case You should use secondLayout.addView(firstLayout, 2), where firstLayout is Layout object for your first layout:

 LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
 View firstLayout= inflater.inflate(R.layout.first_layout, null, false);
 secondLayout.addView(firstLayout, 2);
