How place overlay imageview on two layouts?

Question

I want to build the following screen which contains app logo, success/failure icon image, information message and ok button.

Here this the code. I am using linear layout to achieve this.

<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/statusLinearLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="@android:color/white"
android:weightSum="2"
android:orientation="vertical"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/statusTopRelativeLayout"
    android:background="@android:color/holo_blue_bright"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_weight="1">
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/client_logo"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:contentDescription="@string/no_image_description"
        android:src="@drawable/client_logo"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/statusBottomRelativeLayout"
    android:background="@android:color/holo_blue_light"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1">
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/statusText"           
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
        android:text="@string/statusText"
        android:textSize="50sp"/>
    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btnOk"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/statusText"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="50dp"            
        android:clickable="true"
        android:focusable="true"
        android:onClick="goToHomeScreen"
        android:paddingBottom="15dp"
        android:paddingTop="15dp"
        android:text="@string/ok"
        android:textColor="#ffffff"
        android:textSize="40sp"/>
</RelativeLayout>

How to place success/failure icon image on top of the two layouts?

Answer 1

You can use constraint to make it easy

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <android.support.constraint.Guideline
        android:id="@+id/center"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.5"/>

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@id/center"
        android:background="#ffffff"/>

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@id/center"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        android:background="#00ffff"/>

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="100dp"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        android:background="#ff8801"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@id/center"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@id/center"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" />

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

            android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round" />


    </RelativeLayout>

Answer 3

Parent RelativeLayout

• add child LinearLayout as fillParent and assign weightsum 2. add two layouts with 1 weight each. (add individual implementation for each layout according to your requirements.)
• add second child in relative layout as imageview/button for that good sign and set it center in parent.

This will fix your problem
