I'm attempting to prevent two images from overlapping - and I though I'd be able to do so using two RelativeLayouts inside a LinearLayout - both set to wrap_content - however the two imageViews ( #+id/imageView1 - the boxart and #+id/background - the background) however they still seem to overlap.
Can someone spot what I may have done wrong in this implementation?

Screenshot:
Instead of using Relative layout use a Linear layout with orientation horizontal and then use two Linear layouts with layout_weight=1 for each ImageView. It will divide your screen into two equal parts horizontally.
For example :-
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" />
<LinearLayout android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" />
</LinearLayout>
As per your given layout update your layout as follows:-
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/download"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/black"

android:layout_below="#+id/downloadbtn"
android:layout_marginRight="207dp"
android:layout_marginTop="110dp" />
</LinearLayout>
With regards to your particular situation, the 2 ImageViews causing problems are placed each in a RelativeLayout, which are also placed in a RelativeLayout. Views placed in a relative layout can overlap each other. So when you added the 2 children RelativeLayouts in the parent one, exactly this happened. To make one follow the other, you can add android:layout_toRightOf="#id/id_of_the_layout_you_want_on_the_left_of_this_one" to the second child.
Also, if you are willing to change your layout a bit, you could achieve this through weight and LinearLayout (note however that this will work only if the desired combined width of the 2 children is less than what the parent is willing to offer):
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
... />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
... />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

I am trying to make a scroll view. I have a text field in my app and when I open the keyboard, the entire screen shifts up and I want to make it scroll so I could see what's going up there.

Change ScrollView child as RelativeLayout as follows and add Linear Layout inside RelativeLayout:

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

Try this, and keep adding your views in the Linear Layout.
first of all you need to Set your ScrollView's height and width to match_parent then the height of your linearLayout must be match_parent too. then everything gonna be okay.
I have three 3 Relative layout in a LinearLayout.
First Relative layout contains Tabhost.
All Tabhost content should be aligned above the 2nd RelativeLayout at all times.
The problem is the content is always viewed as behind the 3rd and 2nd Relative Layout.
How can it make as always above the 2nd RelativeLayout?

Several things are bad in your design.
You have too many Layouts, I tried to remove as much as possible some of them.
Also you have 3 ImageButtons for mute/unmute/demute where only one can be set an programmatically changed.
Inflating a view is kind of heavy on android if you don't optimized it.
There is a tool into the SDK that help you to see your layout hierarchy in order to see how to optimized it
You can try to do something simpler like this example:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- here is the bottom layout which contains your 3 buttons -->
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/third_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="56dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#ff0000"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="3">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
<!-- Here is the equivalent of the 2nd relative layout, but you just have to show a image
button or a Text view, you don't have to use another relative layout -->
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/mute"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="56dp"
android:layout_above="#id/third_layout"
android:background="#android:color/holo_green_dark"
android:src="#android:drawable/ic_btn_speak_now" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="56dp"
android:layout_above="#id/third_layout"
/>
<!-- finally the 1st layout which is above the second to the top of its parent -->
<android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost
android:id="#android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#id/mute"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:background="#android:color/holo_blue_bright">
<!-- TAB Widget -->
</android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost>
</RelativeLayout>
I encourage you to use less layout in order to have a smoother application.
In my layout i want to display two imagebuttons in the center and a my amountmeter below it on the bottom, all centered vertically, i have tried many ways but cant seem to find that perfect layout. all the component align vertically and center but it makes my amountmeter small and not full width of the screen.
How it should be
how it is now
updated code
current layout:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/purchase"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#drawable/round_button"
android:src="#drawable/ic_cart" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/sell"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#drawable/round_button"
android:src="#drawable/ic_sell" />
<com.example.mobile.view.AmountMeterView
android:id="#+id/mobileAmount"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center|bottom"
android:padding="4dp" />
COPY PASTE BELOW 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="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/purchase"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/sell"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/purchase"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<com.example.mobile.view.AmountMeterView
android:id="#+id/mobileAmount"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/sell"
android:padding="4dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</RelativeLayout>
AFTER THAT
android:background="#drawable/round_button"
android:src="#drawable/ic_sell"
android:background="#drawable/round_button"
android:src="#drawable/ic_cart"
PUT THIS LINE TO YOUR TWO IMAGE BUTTONS SURELY IT WILL WORK FOR YOU
One Linear layout is enough for this. Do not put your AmountMeterView into it's own LinearLayout.
Just make one Linear layout (vertical), and put all three elements in there. Gravity center_horizontal for all elements.
Try in this way hope this will help you

Please share code to achieve the layout of the screen shown in the below link. The text should be in center of the two images and all these components can be dynamic.

android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:text="TextView" />
</LinearLayout>
An easier way to do this is
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/yourBackgroundDrawableBorder"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView2"
android:background="#drawable/yourBackgroundDrawableBorder"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/imageView1"
android:padding="xxdp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/global_menu_edit"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/imageView1"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:text="Textview" />
</RelativeLayout>
You need to add the custom drawables for the shapes you desire for your views..and yes obviously this is a very generic way to do it. You obviously have to edit some properties or add some to suit your needs. The other way is to use LinearLayout and the android:layout_weight="1" property to make your imageviews similar in size.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="5dp" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:lines="3"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:text="Text" />
</LinearLayout>
I was wondering how to use Relativelayout in order to make a tructure like this:
three buttons, let's call them A B and C; I want to put B and C one above the other and both of them on the right side of A as a single block matching the same width and height of A (so we'll have that B and C have half height of A but the same width).
Since I can't post images yet here you can find the image of what I'm looking for: http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/9765/stackg.jpg
The code I wrote about this part is this one:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#android:color/black"
android:paddingLeft="16dp"
android:paddingRight="16dp" >
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/A"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="96dp"
android:layout_below="#id/another_block_that_fills_all_the_line"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/B" />
<Spinner
android:id="#id/B"
android:layout_width="96dp"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:layout_below="#id/another_block_that_fills_all_the_line"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true" />
<Spinner
android:id="#id/C"
android:layout_width="96dp"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:layout_below="#id/B"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
The problem is that it's not going to scale with every screen because I had to set static sizes. I tried a lot of different solutions like using all the possible combinations for the layout_align and changing wrap_content even randomly but still, I can't fit them in the way I want them to without using static sizes.
Use LinearLayout with layout_weight. Try this layout
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1.0"/>
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1.0" android:orientation="vertical">
<Button android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1.0"/>
<Button android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1.0"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Try 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="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/black">
<Button
android:id="#+id/A"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/relativeLayout"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/relativeLayout"
android:text="AAA"/>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/relativeLayout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/A"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#android:color/black">
<Button
android:id="#+id/B"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="BBB"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/C"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/B"
android:text="CCC"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
It should be as below
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:padding="10dp" >
<View
android:id="#+id/helper"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/A"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/helper"
android:background="#android:color/black" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBottom="#id/A"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignTop="#id/A"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/helper"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/B"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="2dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#android:color/black" />
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/C"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#android:color/black" />
</LinearLayout>
