How to add a line accross layout like in the given image?

I want to make my layout below like in the image I have added at the end. I am able to rotate and add a picture as in the image, but the problem is that the line is going out of the border.
So, how can I perfectly make that lie within border?
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="150dp"
android:background="#drawable/cover_pic_background"
>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:background="#736f6f"
>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/star"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Certified"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:textSize="30sp"
/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/star"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/imageViewId_CoverPic"
android:scaleType="centerInside"
android:padding="3dp"
/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/inside_imageview"
android:layout_width="80dp"
android:layout_height="90dp"
android:layout_marginStart="39dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:scaleType="centerInside"
android:background="#drawable/cover_pic_background"
android:elevation="5dp"
/>
</RelativeLayout>

Try this
<RelativeLayout 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="250dp"
android:layout_margin="10dp">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/nilu"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:src="#color/colorAccent" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="150dp"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/nilu"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:src="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignEnd="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_marginLeft="-70dp"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:padding="10dp"
android:paddingStart="50dp"
android:rotation="-50"
android:layout_marginTop="-10dp"
android:text="certified profile"
android:textColor="#ffffff" />
</RelativeLayout>
OUTPUT

Make transparent image with this design. And put it over profile pic.

Image, text/text and image in Android

I am trying to get the following design. Consider that it is a list item.
But my following design, it does not give me that design.The textviews come on the top of left image.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:local="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#FFFFFF">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_person_black_24dp"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:id="#+id/userimage" />
<TextView
android:text="Text1"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/userimage"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/username"/>
<TextView
android:text="Text2"
android:layout_below="#id/name"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_keyboard_arrow_right_black"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true" />
</RelativeLayout >

Instead of a LinearLayout use a RelativeLayout, and for the TextViews use:
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/userimage" and
android:layout_alignTop="#id/userimage" or
android:layout_alignBottom="#id/userimage"

Here you go:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/userimage"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_person_black_24dp"
tools:background="#mipmap/ic_launcher" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignBottom="#id/userimage"
android:layout_toEndOf="#id/userimage"
android:layout_toStartOf="#id/arrow"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/username"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center|start"
tools:text="Text1" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center|start"
tools:text="Text2" />
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/arrow"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_keyboard_arrow_right_black"
tools:background="#mipmap/ic_launcher" />
</RelativeLayout>
Try to play with different layouts when you have time, it will help you greatly in the future.
Edit:
Better solution for centering TextViews.

Your problem in text2 use it , it would work
<TextView
android:text="Text2"
android:layout_below="#id/username"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/userimage"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Try this:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="6dip" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/userimage"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginRight="6dip"
android:contentDescription="TODO"
android:src="#drawable/ic_person_black_24dp" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/icon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="6dip"
android:contentDescription="TODO"
android:src="#drawable/ic_keyboard_arrow_right_black" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/username"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_above="#id/secondline"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/userimage"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/icon"
android:singleLine="true"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="Example username"
android:textSize="16sp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/secondline"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/userimage"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/icon"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="Description"
android:textSize="12sp" />
</RelativeLayout>
I used some dp sizes that you did not use and added a few other things, but I guess you can change it so that it suits your desire. I did try use the same names as you did. Overall this should work if you tweak it a bit.

How to overlay image in layout in android

I have two image in layout .I want to show second image in bottom edge curve of first image .Can anybody tell how to do like overlay image
Thanks

Use FrameLayout :
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgFirst"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgSecond"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|center"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"/>
</FrameLayout>

Use a RelativeLayout, simple put the second ImageView below the first ImageView. Then what you have to do is to set the marginTop attribute of the second image to a negative value, and this value is the overlaying size, like this android:layout_marginTop="-1dp".
A sample code right below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/firstImage"
android:src="#drawable/myimage1"
/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="-1dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/secondImage"
android:layout_below="#+id/firstImage"
android:src="#drawable/myimage2"
/>
</RelativeLayout>

You can do it without Frames, only using RelativeLayout, if you make use of the alignParentalXXX tags as in the following example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#E4E3CE"
android:orientation="vertical">
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="75">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/backgroundImageView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="300dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:background="#ffffff" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="66dp"
android:layout_height="66dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:background="#000000" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="40dp"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:background="#40000000"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:paddingHorizontal="3dp"
android:paddingVertical="1dp"
android:text="Header Text"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:textSize="16dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
You can see how this layout looks like in the following image:

Use Frame Layout like sample below :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/ll_home_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:background="#android:color/black"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="35dp"
android:layout_height="35dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/ic_drawer"
android:src="#drawable/logo" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginRight="14dp"
android:src="#drawable/menu" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ic_drawer"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/textView1_detail"
android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"
android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_drawer" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1_detail"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/imageView1"
android:text="Reports"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:textSize="18sp" />
</RelativeLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/overlay_favorite"
android:layout_width="215dp"
android:layout_height="134dp"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:background="#drawable/overlay_favorite"
android:visibility="gone" />
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Your should use below code for achieving it ..

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnHeader"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginTop="10dip" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnMenu1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/btnHeader"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="10dip" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnMenu2"

Also I always get this notification in XML file:

Why?

Not sure why it is crashing, but the error you are getting is only a warning. The contentDescription is just for accessibility and not needed. The error that is causing the crash most likely exists elsewhere in your code.
