How to align image and text exactly equal when using in gridview android?

Hi I am using Gridview to display images with text below by using custom adapter. But problem is when I fetch image and display, align gets changing and it's not proper.Here is my 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">
<GridView
android:id="#+id/gridview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:verticalSpacing="10dp"
android:horizontalSpacing="10dp"
android:stretchMode="columnWidth"
android:numColumns="3" />
</RelativeLayout>
gridview.row:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
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:orientation="vertical" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/brand_picture"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/brand_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/brand_picture"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="TextView"
android:background="#color/blue"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF" />
How to achieve the expected output with same image size and text below that.
Expected output is:
But my output looks like this.
Thanks.

try this..hope it works for u..
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/brand_picture"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/brand_name"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/brand_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/brand_picture"
android:background="#color/blue"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="TextView"
android:textColor="#ffffff" />

On setting Wrap content the widget adjusts its height/width parameters to the given content size.so
change width of image view and text view from wrap content and set same width for both image view and text view.
eg:android:layout_width="70dp"
To get text in cente of text view you have to set
android:gravity="center"
xml:ROW
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
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:orientation="vertical" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#333333">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/brand_picture"
android:layout_width="90dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#499999"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/brand_name"
android:layout_width="90dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/brand_picture"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="AQUA LUNG"
android:background="#445657"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF" />

Add property,
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
to your ImageView as well as TextView. It will work.

You can try this layout:
Actually i have replaced your relative layout with linear layout, but it works just like what you want.
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/brand_picture"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/brand_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/blue"
android:text="TextView"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF" />
</LinearLayout>
Hope this resolves your issue....

<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#000000">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/brand_picture"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/brand_name"
android:layout_width="90dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/brand_picture"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/brand_picture"
android:layout_below="#+id/brand_picture"
android:background="#445657"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="WHATEVER"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF" />
</RelativeLayout>
Or You can try
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
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:id="#+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

<ImageView
android:id="#+id/brand_picture"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"

Bottom align a textview with an ImageView in a GridView

So far this is the result of my layout
I am trying to put the textview at the bottom of my ImageView (not below it). The textview should BottomAlign with the ImageView.
The image of my ImageView is a square. If the content of the textview turns out to be longer that the width of my ImageView, the content should continues to the next line.
At the moment i don't care if the content of the ImageView does not scaled proportionally (i.e. gets stretched, etc).
This is the XML that i have:
<?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="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="5dp">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/iconItem"
android:layout_width="80dp"
android:layout_height="80dp"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/textItem"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:padding="0dip"
android:src="#drawable/shout_ic"/>
<TextView
android:id="#id/textItem"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:textSize="11sp"
android:text="Motorcycles"
android:textColor="#FFF"
android:background="#8888"/>
</RelativeLayout>
How can i achieve the result i want?
EDIT 1:
I think i am making a progress... (but not exactly like what i have in mind
<?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="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="5dp">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/iconItem"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:padding="0dip"
android:src="#drawable/thumbqoo_launcher_ic"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textItem"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/iconItem"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:textSize="11sp"
android:text="Motorcycles"
android:textColor="#FFF"
android:background="#8888"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Change your parent layout to FrameLayout with orientation vertical like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="5dp" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/iconItem"
android:layout_width="80dp"
android:layout_height="80dp"
android:padding="0dip"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textItem"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#8888"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:text="Motorcycles"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:textColor="#FFF"
android:textSize="11sp" />
</FrameLayout>

remove this line android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/textItem" from your imageview and try adding line android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/iconItem"in your TextView
set width of ImageView to width of your row layout

Android textview on imageview

I am trying to place an TextView on a ImageView in the bottom center of the RelativeLayout.
I am able to place the TextViewin the center but not able to place it in the bottom .
Can anyone guide me.
here is my XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/back"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/eventimage"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:background="#000000">
</ImageView>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text98"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:text="LAST"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textSize="18sp"/>
</RelativeLayout>

on the textView use the following attributes android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" instead of android:layout_centerVertical="true" and add android:alignParentBottom=true". Also look at the relative layout options to understand how to work with it.

try
<TextView
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
...

You could try using something like
android:layout_alignBaseline (#id/eventimage);
and add some padding on the bottom later

You can use this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/back"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/eventimage"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:background="#000000">
</ImageView>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text98"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:text="LAST"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textSize="18sp"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Add this to your TextView:
android:layout_alignBottom="#id/eventimage"

Use this code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/back"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/eventimage"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:background="#000000">
</ImageView>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text98"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:alignBottom="#+id/eventimage"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:text="LAST"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textSize="18sp"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Hope it will help you.

Try the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/back"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/eventimage"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:background="#000000">
</ImageView>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text98"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:text="LAST"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textSize="18sp"/>
</RelativeLayout>

This layout works according to your requirement .by setting the gravity bottom of the linear layout ,its chilld view is automatically aligned at center- bottom position
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/back"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:gravity="bottom">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text98"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="LAST"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"/
>
</LinearLayout>

android:layout_alignParentBottom to move the control to the bottom of the screen.

View is overlapped by another view with match_parent and wrap_content on Android

I want to create a view with two parts:
1. Avatar, which is always displayed at right/center_vertial on screen.
2. Name, which is always displayed at left on screen (do not overlap on Avatar).
<?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:orientation="horizontal" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/username" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#id/avatar"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="right|center_vertical"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/avatar"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right|center_vertical"
android:scaleType="center"
android:src="#drawable/useravatar" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
The problem is when Name is too long, it overlaps on Avatar. How can I fix this problem?

You should use RelativeLayout and a android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/avatar" attribute for the TextView.

You're better off using a Relative Layout for this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/avatar"
android:text="Some User Name" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/avatar"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_gravity="right|center_vertical"
android:scaleType="center"
android:src="#drawable/thumbr" />
</RelativeLayout>

Problem with Android Layout

I'm having a very hard time getting the 2 buttons in the 2nd child linearlayout to display as I want them to... I want them centered, on the same row but they appear left-aligned and on the same row. Can anyone help me with this?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Try using android:gravity="center" instead of android:layout_gravity="center"
