layer application in android

I am a new one in Android so please sorry for stupidity. Well my problem is in multiple layers -

I would like to combine two transparent ImageViews one above the other. This is similar to photoshops layers, what is the sample layers activity in android?

Well its quite possible to do in android, but the thing is what actually you are going to do with that. you can give the same positions for both the images in layout now both will be overlapped and based on your condition or situation you can show and hide one another programatically. In the same way you can give multiple images overlapped on one another. Hope this will help you out to understand :)

Already answered Overlapping Views in Android ? That should be all you need, using RelativeLayout:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/layout"
>
<ImageView android:id="@+id/imageview1"
    android:background="#00000000"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/image1"
    />

 <ImageView android:id="@+id/imageview2"
    android:background="#00000000"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/image2"
    /> 

</RelativeLayout>

would be an example code for you.
