Android Textview wrap imageview

What I am trying to do is wrap the textview around the imageview so that way the text isn't just on the left or right side of the image. Is it possible to do this through XML? As it is a popup dialog with a picture, so doing it through code will be a pain as it is multiple images depending on what they click. See picture for example.
<?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="vertical"
android:background="#android:color/background_light">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_margin="1dp"
android:background="#android:color/darker_gray">
>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_margin="20dp">
<Button
android:id="#+id/dismiss"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Close" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/IV1"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:src="#drawable/IV1"
android:layout_below="#+id/dismiss"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/TV15"
android:id="#+id/TV15"
android:layout_below="#+id/dismiss"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/IV1"
android:layout_toEndOf="#+id/IV1"
android:paddingLeft="5dp"
android:paddingTop="5dp"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>

Use FrameLayout. Change the order of ImageView and TextView to set what should come top of the other.
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerInParent="true">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/menu_icon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="#mipmap/ic_launcher" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/menu_label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:lines="1"
android:text="this is my sample" />
</FrameLayout>

How to overlay image in layout in android

I have two image in layout .I want to show second image in bottom edge curve of first image .Can anybody tell how to do like overlay image
Thanks

Use FrameLayout :
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgFirst"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgSecond"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|center"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"/>
</FrameLayout>

Use a RelativeLayout, simple put the second ImageView below the first ImageView. Then what you have to do is to set the marginTop attribute of the second image to a negative value, and this value is the overlaying size, like this android:layout_marginTop="-1dp".
A sample code right below:
<?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="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/firstImage"
android:src="#drawable/myimage1"
/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="-1dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/secondImage"
android:layout_below="#+id/firstImage"
android:src="#drawable/myimage2"
/>
</RelativeLayout>

You can do it without Frames, only using RelativeLayout, if you make use of the alignParentalXXX tags as in the following example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout 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="match_parent"
android:background="#E4E3CE"
android:orientation="vertical">
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="75">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/backgroundImageView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="300dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:background="#ffffff" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="66dp"
android:layout_height="66dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:background="#000000" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="40dp"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:background="#40000000"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:paddingHorizontal="3dp"
android:paddingVertical="1dp"
android:text="Header Text"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:textSize="16dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
You can see how this layout looks like in the following image:

Use Frame Layout like sample below :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/ll_home_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:background="#android:color/black"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="35dp"
android:layout_height="35dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/ic_drawer"
android:src="#drawable/logo" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginRight="14dp"
android:src="#drawable/menu" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ic_drawer"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/textView1_detail"
android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"
android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_drawer" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1_detail"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/imageView1"
android:text="Reports"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:textSize="18sp" />
</RelativeLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/overlay_favorite"
android:layout_width="215dp"
android:layout_height="134dp"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:background="#drawable/overlay_favorite"
android:visibility="gone" />
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>

android - overlap a button over another

how can i overlap a Button over another inside RelativeLayout ?
Example
Thanks.
Here is what i've tried. Thanks
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/category"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal|center"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/btn1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#id/btn2"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:src="#drawable/btn1" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/btn2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/btn2" />
</RelativeLayout>

You could do it by setting the margin to a negative value.
<?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">
<ImageView android:id="#+id/btn1"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"/>
<ImageView android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/btn1"
android:layout_marginLeft="-20dp"/>
</RelativeLayout>

this is how you can achieve it.
use layout_margin attribute for the button on right and give it a negative value.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/category"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="MyLargeBtn" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn2"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/btn1"
android:layout_marginLeft="-10dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="SmallBtn" />

image over another image

I have 2 image I want to put one image over another my xml follows
<?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" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgThumb"
android:layout_width="60dip"
android:layout_height="80dip"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="20sp"
android:src="#drawable/bg" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/imgText"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dip"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="test string"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:textSize="10dip"
android:visibility="gone" />
<View
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="30sp"
android:background="#drawable/shelf" />
Layout looks like this
I want this first image over this second image.so that it looks like that this first image is standing over second image

Change the LinearLayout to RelativeLayout, switch the places of the 2 images.
<?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" >
<View
android:id="#+id/shelf"
android:layout_below="#+id/imgThumb"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="30sp"
android:background="#drawable/shelf" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgThumb"
android:alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_width="60dip"
android:layout_height="80dip"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="20sp"
android:src="#drawable/bg" />

Change Layout Linear to Relative or FramLayout and add Margin Top in views.
In relative layout each and every control Automatically over its above control.
Try below code.
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgThumb"
android:layout_width="60dip"
android:layout_height="80dip"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="20sp"
android:src="#drawable/abc" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/imgText"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dip"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="test string"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:textSize="10dip"
android:visibility="gone" />
<View
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="30sp"
android:layout_marginTop="20sp"
android:background="#drawable/ic_launcher" />

<RelativeLayout 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"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<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="138dp"
android:layout_marginTop="142dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</RelativeLayout>
