Properly align images and text in relative layout?

I've a shop layout in which are three different sized images. To the right of them, there is text representing price. How can I align images and text under each other ? And put the middle of the screen between Image and text. Here is my layout:
<?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" android:background="#drawable/podklad">
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/lives"
android:focusable="false" android:background="#drawable/heart_image"
android:layout_below="#+id/money" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:id="#+id/price1"
android:textSize="30sp" android:textColor="#ff000000"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/lives" android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/lives"
android:layout_toEndOf="#+id/lives"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/money" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" android:textSize="40dp" android:textColor="#ff000000"/>
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/monstertoprightcolored"
android:id="#+id/hardmode"
android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:id="#+id/price2"
android:textSize="30dp"
android:textColor="#ff000000"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/hardmode"
android:layout_toEndOf="#+id/hardmode"
android:layout_above="#+id/price3"/>
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/monsterbottomleftcolored"
android:id="#+id/reversedmode"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/hardmode"
android:layout_alignStart="#+id/hardmode"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:id="#+id/price3"
android:textSize="30dp"
android:textColor="#ff000000"
android:layout_marginTop="26dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/hardmode"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/price2"
android:layout_toEndOf="#+id/price2"/>

A TableLayout might work better in this case. Here's a start to what your layout would look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:stretchColumns="*">
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_span="2"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:id="#+id/money"
android:textSize="40dp"
android:textColor="#ff000000"
tools:text="money" />
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:id="#+id/lives"
android:focusable="false"
android:background="#drawable/heart_image"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:id="#+id/price1"
android:textSize="30sp"
android:textColor="#ff000000"
tools:text="price1" />
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/monstertoprightcolored"
android:id="#+id/hardmode" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:id="#+id/price2"
android:textSize="30dp"
android:textColor="#ff000000"
tools:text="price2" />
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/monsterbottomleftcolored"
android:id="#+id/reversedmode" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:id="#+id/price3"
android:textSize="30dp"
android:textColor="#ff000000"
android:layout_marginTop="26dp"
tools:text="price3" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
Note that in order to "put the middle of the screen between Image and text", the two columns have to be equal in width. This is done by setting android:stretchColumns="*" in the TableLayout, and setting android:layout_width="0dp" and android:layout_weight="1" in the children of the TableRows.
See tablelayout - Set equal width of columns in table layout in Android for more info.

You can use linear layouts for this. Image and text can be split vertically in a linear layout. Each of this linear layout can be placed horizontally. Can you add a screenshot of how your layout should look for better understanding.

Here try this ,hope to help you, and i hope that i understand your problem correctly.

Android RelativeLayout align element on another elements border

Im trying to make a text view to align to the left border of another imageview in a RelativeLayout, but I'm having trouble and I cannot achieve this. Can anyone tell me how can I achieve this?
Here is my current XML layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="15dp"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/main_item_bg"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:contentDescription="#string/app_name"
android:scaleType="fitXY" />
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#drawable/blackalha"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="100" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/main_item_cont"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/main_item_nmb"
android:paddingLeft="5dp"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/main_item_ic"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:background="#color/app_purple"
android:src="#drawable/bacal" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/main_item_nmb"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/main_item_ic"
android:background="#drawable/saric"
android:gravity="center"
android:textColor="#333333" />
</RelativeLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/main_item_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/main_item_bg"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:maxWidth="200dp"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
</RelativeLayout>

Try this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/main_item_bg"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

android:scaleType="fitXY" />
<RelativeLayout

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:gravity="center"

android:text="dsgffdufsdfdfsdfdsfsdfsdfdsfdf"

android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/main_item_ic"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dip"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/main_item_cont"

android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/main_item_nmb"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/main_item_cont"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/main_item_cont"
android:background="#android:color/white"
android:text="10"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
</RelativeLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/main_item_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/main_item_bg"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:maxWidth="200dp"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />

As #Salauyou mentioned, try with android:layout_alignLeft because it "Makes the left edge of this view match the left edge of the given anchor view ID"
and android:layout_toLeftOf means "Positions the right edge of this view to the left of the given anchor view ID."

Now, this is what I achieved:
I used this picture in drawable-mdpi (as the badge) - note the trick of the dual background:
and the standard launcher icon, since I didn't have a wine glass icon handy.
This is my layout:
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#fff"
android:layout_margin="0dp"
android:padding="0dp"
>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_margin="0dp"
android:padding="4dp"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtIcon"
android:layout_width="48dp"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="4dp"
android:background="#6b2339"
android:drawableRight="#drawable/ic_launcher"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtBadge"
android:layout_width="48dp"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/txtIcon"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="4dp"
android:background="#drawable/wines_crossing_badge"
android:text="8"
android:textColor="#312c23"
android:textSize="16sp"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtDesc"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/txtBadge"
android:background="#312c23"
android:gravity="left|center_vertical"
android:padding="4dp"
android:text="Available Androids in stock for rental"
android:textColor="#fff"
android:textSize="16sp"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Center textview below image view

I need to center a textview just below an image view.
This is a row screenshot from what I a getting now:
I need to put the textview with the text "30" below the image view with the thumbs up hand, and centered. The height position is fine as it is now.
Like this:
This is my layout file:
<?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="wrap_content"
android:background="#5981b2"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:src="#drawable/facebook" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:src="#drawable/valoracion" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:text="30"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:lines="2"
android:text="Large Text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/imageView1"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
Any help is welcome.

Remove this line
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
and add
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
and you are good to go

If you don't wanna use margins, which can behave differently on other screens, you could for example use the TextView with an compoundDrawable like this:
<?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="wrap_content"
android:background="#5981b2"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:src="#drawable/facebook" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:text="30"
android:drawablePadding="10dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/valoracion"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:lines="2"
android:text="Large Text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/imageView1"
/>
</RelativeLayout>

Take away
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
The "below" is good. Then use
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/imageView2"
android:layout_marginLeft="xxdp"
Set the margin until it appears correct.

Try this..
Remove android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" add android:layout_alignParentRight="true" and give android:layout_marginRight="15dp" for textView3 TextView
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
android:text="30"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" />

Create a listview with sides like older email android app

I want to create a listview like older gmail app. See the screenshot:
I tried putting an empty view like this:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/color_highlight"
android:layout_width="5dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:background="#ff0000"
android:minHeight="48dp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/color_highlight"
android:text="Mudit Agarwal"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textColor="#242424"
android:textIsSelectable="false"
android:textSize="22sp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/number"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignRight="#id/name"
android:layout_below="#id/name"
android:text="9933445566"
android:textColor="#777777"
android:textIsSelectable="false"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:textSize="15sp" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:padding="3dp"
android:src="#drawable/contact" />
but this is not taking full height of the view. Please suggest.

What I changed is
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/number"
to your color_highlight TextView. and instead of margin, I put padding like below in number TextView.
android:paddingBottom="20dp"
just put following layout code.
<?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="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/color_highlight"
android:layout_width="5dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/number"
android:background="#ff0000"
android:minHeight="48dp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/color_highlight"
android:text="Mudit Agarwal"
android:textColor="#242424"
android:textIsSelectable="false"
android:textSize="22sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/number"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignRight="#id/name"
android:layout_below="#id/name"
android:paddingBottom="20dp"
android:text="9933445566"
android:textColor="#777777"
android:textIsSelectable="false"
android:textSize="15sp" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:padding="3dp"
android:src="#drawable/contact" />
</RelativeLayout>

I'm not sure but you can try putting android:layout_height="0dip" instead of android:layout_height="match_parent".
