Imageview alignment issue

I want to achieve my layout with image-view and relative layout as like as picture shows here.
I tried with this code but not works.
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/textview_ratting"
android:layout_margin="5dp">
<de.hdodenhof.circleimageview.CircleImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="70dp"
android:layout_height="70dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:src="#drawable/icon"/>
</RelativeLayout>

This worked for me...Provide negative paddingTop equal to half of the size of the imageview .
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:layout_marginTop="70dp"
android:background="#color/colorAccent" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/widget_title_icon"
android:paddingTop="-70dp"
android:layout_width="140dp"
android:layout_height="140dp"
android:layout_gravity="top|center_horizontal"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:contentDescription="#string/action_settings"
android:scaleType="fitStart"
android:src="#mipmap/ic_launcher" />
</FrameLayout>

We normally use FrameLayout for this case:
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="192dp">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="100dp"
android:background="#color/colorAccent"/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/widget_title_icon"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="150dp"
android:layout_gravity="top|center_horizontal"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="fitStart"
android:src="#mipmap/ic_launcher"/>
</FrameLayout>
We can also play with android:paddingTop="-10dp" as you like.
See FrameLayout definition:
Child views are drawn in a stack, with the most recently added child
on top.
Hope this will help....

android:layout_marginTop="-35dp" -35dp is the half of your image size (70dp/2) but margin in the reverse direction so use "-" sign.
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/textview_ratting"
android:layout_margin="5dp">
<de.hdodenhof.circleimageview.CircleImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="70dp"
android:layout_height="70dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="-35dp"
android:src="#drawable/icon"/>
</RelativeLayout>

used FrameLayout, using frameLayout you can do it.

For this, you should use FrameLayout. FrameLayout provides a layered layout to overlap items in UI. Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:layout_gravity="center|center_horizontal"
android:background="#color/colorAccent" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/widget_title_icon"
android:layout_width="140dp"
android:layout_height="140dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="100dp"
android:layout_gravity="center|center_horizontal"
android:src="#mipmap/ic_launcher" />
</FrameLayout>
Arpan has already proposed a similar answer. He is using padding and margin of both elements, whereas this one uses layout gravity and relative margin of ImageView. Doing this will always place the contents in the center of the screen on all devices.
ImageView(android:layout_marginBottom) = 0.5 * RelativeLayout(android:layout_height)

Please use circleimageview and relativelayout as a child of framelayout.
<FrameLayout 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="wrap_content">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="0dp"
android:paddingBottom="0dp"
android:paddingTop="0dp">
</RelativeLayout>
<de.hdodenhof.circleimageview.CircleImageView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/cir_img_ptv"
android:layout_width="#dimen/cir_img_diameter_ptv"
android:layout_height="#dimen/cir_img_diameter_ptv"
android:layout_gravity="center|top"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/cir_img_top_margin_ptv"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="#drawable/profile_user"
app:civ_border_color="#color/white"
app:civ_border_width="#dimen/cir_img_stroke_ptv"
app:civ_fill_color="#color/white"
app:civ_border_overlay="true"/>
</FrameLayout>

Try this code,
activity_main.xml :
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/relCustomerEditProfile"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginTop="100dp">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linRoot"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"
android:layout_marginRight="30dp"
android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
android:orientation="vertical">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/relHeader"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/imgBackground"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="90dp"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/relProfile"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:background="#drawable/bg_black"></RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/relProfile"
android:layout_width="110dp"
android:layout_height="110dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true">
<de.hdodenhof.circleimageview.CircleImageView
android:id="#+id/imgViewProfilePhoto"
android:layout_width="90dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="40dp"
android:background="#drawable/red"></de.hdodenhof.circleimageview.CircleImageView>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Hope, it helps you!!

LinearLayout doesn't work properly

How can I put the TextView exactly below the ImageView?
I write the code below, but it put the TextView with margin below the image,
I also try different scaleType for ImageView.
<?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:orientation="vertical">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/list_row_logo"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="0dp"
android:padding="0dp"
android:src="#drawable/nature_bg" />
</FrameLayout>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="hello" />
</LinearLayout>

Add android:adjustViewBounds="true" attribute for ImageView. Set this to true will adjust its bounds to preserve the aspect ratio of its drawable.
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/list_row_logo"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="0dp"
android:padding="0dp"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:src="#drawable/beekeeper_logo" />

You can use a relativeLayout instead, and place the textview below the image like that :
<?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="vertical">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/list_row_logo"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="0dp"
android:padding="0dp"
android:src="#drawable/nature_bg" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="hello"
android:layout_below="#id/list_row_logo"/>
</RelativeLayout>

How do I center an image with no stretching on my Android XML layout Splash screen

Here's my code. It's stretching my image to the width of the screen. I just want it centered with no stretching. What am I getting wrong here?
<?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="vertical"
>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/splash"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:src="#drawable/splash_screenhdpi" />
</RelativeLayout>

You need to set a scaleType
android:scaleType="center"

i don't understand very good your question, i hope be like this:
<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/splash"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:src="#drawable/splash_screenhdpi"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:scaleType="center" />
</RelativeLayout>

You have to use the attribute scale for ImageViews. Use center just to center the image in the image default size, and match_parent as the size for width and height.

<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

Overlap Layout with ImageView

Im trying to create the following Layout:
The border of the RelativeLayout is realized with a rectangle shape as background, but I cannot get the ImageView overlap the RelativeLayout with half of it in and half of it out of the border. Is this even possible with RelativeLayout (And if not: What alternative do I have)?
layout.xml
<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/imageView"
android:src="#drawable/imageresource"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>
<RelativeLayout
android:padding="#dimen/item_inner_margin"
android:background="#drawable/item_border"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/relativeLayout"
android:layout_below="#+id/imageView">
<!-- Stuff in the layout -->
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Thanks in advance

This might be what you're looking for:

android:elevation="4dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="20dp">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"

The relative layout leaving spaces where it should not?

Hi I am using a relative layout to align the image at the bottom but the image is giving away some margin at the top and at the bottom. My code is as below
<?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:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#drawable/back" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:src="#drawable/compare1footer"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Can someone help me out with this. Thank you
I tried using Fllo answer and i am attaching the screenshot
I am uploading the png

I think it's because you use android:layout_alignParentTop="true" at the same time. You don't need a parent LinearLayout but you need to set your RelativeLayout height to match_parent. Try as follows:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/compare1footer"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:scaleType="FIT_XY" />
</RelativeLayout>
As Rat-a-tat-a-tat Ratatouille suggested, I think it's the right way to avoid deformation with your image. The attribute scaleType according to the Reference is to:
Scale in X and Y independently, so that src matches dst exactly. This may change the aspect ratio of the src
It's not a bad idea.

try changing this:
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:src="#drawable/compare1footer"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
to
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/compare1footer"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />

Replace your code for Image View from:
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:src="#drawable/compare1footer"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
To:
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:src="#drawable/compare1footer"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
android:adjustViewBounds="true" is the solution of your problem.
Hope it will help you..

Try to change:
<?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:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#drawable/back" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:src="#drawable/compare1footer"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
to 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" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#drawable/ic_launcher" >
</ImageView>
</RelativeLayout>
