I have to add an overlay (ImageView) so that it's a bit shifted to the left of the containing layout's left boundary.
What is the best way to do this?
Tried something simple, like putting the ImageView inside the layout and use negative margin
android:layout_marginLeft="-20dip"
This made this:
(Correction: Text in the image should be 20dip not 20px)
AbsoluteLayout is deprecated. Is there something like z-order? Or what do I do?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I tried using relative layout instead. Same effect. Here's the xml reduced to a minimum:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clipChildren="false"
android:paddingLeft="50dip"
>
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/myId"
android:layout_width="60dip"
android:layout_height="60dip"
android:layout_marginLeft="-30dip"
android:clipChildren="false"
android:src="@drawable/pic" />
</RelativeLayout>
Result
Also happens when the containing layout has a background image smaller than the screen instead of padding.
Using RelativeLayout instead of LinearLayout (to allow overlapping) and adding this to the RelativeLayout fixed it:
android:clipToPadding="false"
set "android:clipChildren = false" in xml
