How to Place Imageview Behind Another Layout

Question

I use the image for animation so that it looks like a movement from left to right. but my image is displayed in front of other views so that the user can click on the image. I am trying to display it behind another view.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/layout" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"

Answer 1

Place the image at the top (above is the parent’s first child)
location in the xml file so that the image will be behind the layout

Answer 2

Use FrameLayout . All items that you insert are stacked on top of each other.
