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.

How can I prevent my bottom toolbar with 3 images from being stretched out?

I have a bottom layout with three images. I want them to be equally distributed. To do this, I used the layout_weight xml property. But the visual representation of them is awful – the images are all stretched out
The images' dimension is 32*32.
The layout code for this particular toolbar is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/toolbar_bottom"
xmlns:appo="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:minHeight="50dp"
android:background="#ffff8c0e"
appo:theme="#style/ToolbarTheme"
android:minWidth="50dp"
android:elevation="10dp"
>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/toolbarmenucontainer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:weightSum="3"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:id="#+id/camera_image"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:clickable="true"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/camera_icon"
/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/news_image"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="true"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:layout_weight = "1"
android:src="#drawable/new_icon"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/facebook_image"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:clickable="true"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/facebooc_image"
/>
</LinearLayout>
How can I make them appear properly?

wrap ImageView in another layout say RelativeLayout.
i.e do something like this.
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:appo="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/toolbar_bottom"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#ffff8c0e"
android:elevation="10dp"
android:minHeight="50dp"
android:minWidth="50dp"
appo:theme="#style/ToolbarTheme" >
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/toolbarmenucontainer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="3" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/camera_image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:clickable="true"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/camera_icon" />
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/news_image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:clickable="true"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/new_icon" />
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/facebook_image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:clickable="true"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/facebooc_image" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
Hope this will help.

Remove android:scaleType="fitXY" from your code.Because All it does is scale the bitmap up to the size of the ImageView.
Refer this.
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/toolbarmenucontainer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="3">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/camera_image"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:clickable="true"
android:src="#mipmap/ic_launcher" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/news_image"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:clickable="true"
android:src="#mipmap/ic_launcher" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/facebook_image"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:clickable="true"
android:src="#mipmap/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>

Just use RelativeLayout like this:
<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/camera_image"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="true"
android:src="#drawable/camera_icon"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/news_image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:clickable="true"
android:src="#drawable/new_icon"
android:scaleType="fitXY"/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/facebook_image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:clickable="true"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/facebooc_image"/></RelativeLayout>

There is this nice library that solves by problem:). It uses bottom navigation.

set your imageview scale type as you want, there are different options
android:scaleType="fitXY"
or
center, centerCrop,centerInside,fitCenter etc

How to align three ImageViews horizontally in Android?

I want to show three ImageViews at the bottom of the screen with equal weight. But the size of the images is not fixed. I want to show 2 images and one should be hidden, what should I do?
How to adjust the space in between three ImageViews which should be side by side of each other, and the 3rd ImageView should not overlap the two ImageViews which are visible on the screen?
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/main_imge_1"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView5"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#F9F939"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:layout_toLeftOf ="#+id/imageView6"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:padding="15dp" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView6"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#54F71D"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:padding="15dp"
android:layout_margin="10dp" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView7"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#1DF7AB"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/imageView6"
android:padding="15dp" />
</RelativeLayout>

Try this way
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center|bottom" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView5"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#F9F939"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView6"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#54F71D"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView7"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#1DF7AB"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
Output

From what I was able to decrypt, you're probably trying to achieve this:
<?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="fill_parent"
>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:gravity="center_horizontal">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView5"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#F9F939"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:padding="15dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView6"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#F9F939"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:padding="15dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView7"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#F9F939"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:padding="15dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
The result:
The key is to use an enclosing LinearLayout to hold your ImageViews and having that LinearLayout aligned to Bottom in your RelativeLayout.

Use android:layout_weight="1" for each ImageView. And replace your RelativeLayout to Linearlayout.

Placing a TextView below two ImageViews and in middle - Android

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.

Hope this works
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
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>
