Placing/Overlapping(z-index) a view above another view in android

Question

I have a linear layout which consists of imageview and textview , one below another in a linear layout.

Answer 1

You can't use a LinearLayout for this, but you can use a FrameLayout. In a FrameLayout, the z-index is defined by the order in which the items are added, for example:

In this instance, the TextView would be drawn on top of the ImageView, along the bottom center of the image.
