I am trying to place an ImageView
on the overlap point between two layouts. In the picture below, my goal would be to place the ImageView
where the white square is. NOTE: The overlap point will not necessarily be centered vertically as shown below
Is this possible in XML?
My only guess right now is to do this in the actual code itself.
EDIT 8/3/2016: For reference, I think ConstraintLayouts
may be the best future solution for these types of problems http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/layout-editor
This will do what you want, with either an image of fixed height, or calculated programatically.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/layoutTop"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp" >
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/layoutBottom"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_below="@id/layoutTop" >
</RelativeLayout>
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/overlapImage"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_above="@id/layoutBottom"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="-20dp" <!-- This should be always half the height, can also be calculated and added programtically -->
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />
</RelativeLayout>
Try this way,hope this will help you to solve your problem.
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:layout_gravity="center"/>
</FrameLayout>
