Frame layout in android provides a way to place the child views in a stack. The view that’s added last is on the top. The frame layout sizes itself according to the size of its largest child(with padding). You can control a child’s position within the frame layout by assigning gavity to the child using the android:layout_gravity attribute.
Let’s see how to use the FrameLayout in android.
Here, I will create a simple app that contains a FrameLayout. The FrameLayout contains two ImageView and a TextView.
The first image is for the background and the second image is for the logo. Now let’s see the code.
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="405dp"
android:layout_height="261dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
app:srcCompat="@drawable/island_blur" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView2"
android:layout_width="128dp"
android:layout_height="191dp"
android:layout_gravity="center|left"
app:srcCompat="@drawable/logo" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_width="255dp"
android:layout_height="133dp"
android:layout_gravity="center|right"
android:gravity="center|left"
android:text="DeveloperXon"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="36sp" />
</FrameLayout>
Here, The first ImageView will be at the bottom and the TextView that I added last will be at the top.
MainActivity.java
package com.example.frame_layout_example;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}
Output :
DeveloperXon
