Android Text over image

Question

I have an imageView with an image  over that image I want to place a text  How can I achieve that

User · Answer

There are many ways  You use RelativeLayout or AbsoluteLayout   With relative  you can have the image align with parent on the left side for example and also have the text align to the parent left too    then you can use margins and padding and gravity on the text view to get it lined where you want over the image

For this you can use only one TextView with android drawableLeft Right Top Bottom to position a Image to the TextView  Furthermore you can use some padding between the TextView and the drawable with android drawablePadding     Use it like this    lt TextView     android id    id textAndImage      android layout width  wrap content      android layout height  wrap content       android drawableBottom   drawable yourDrawable      android drawablePadding  10dp       android text  Look at the drawable below   gt    With this you don t need an extra ImageView  It s also possible to use two drawables on more than one side of the TextView   The only problem you will face by using this  is that the drawable can t be scaled the way of an ImageView

You want to use a FrameLayout or a Merge layout to achieve this  Android dev guide has a great example of this here  Android Layout Tricks  3  Optimize by merging

You can use a TextView and change its background to the image you want to use

You may want to take if from a diffrent side  It seems easier to have a TextView with a drawable on the background      lt TextView             android id    id text              android background   drawable rounded rectangle              android layout width  wrap content              android layout height  wrap content           lt  TextView gt

You could possibly    make a new class inherited from the Class ImageView and  override the Method onDraw  Call super onDraw   in that method first and  then draw some Text you want to display    if you do it that way  you can use this as a single Layout Component which makes it easier to layout together with other components
