How can I add a TextView into an ImageView in GridView Layout?

android, android-gridview

Solution

Create a `RelativeLayout` that contains the `ImageView` and the TextView,with TextView's bottom edge aligned with the `Imageview's` bottom edge.

<RelativeLayout ...>
    <ImageView ...>
    <TextView ...
      android:layout_alignBottom="id of the imageview"> // or to top
</RelativeLayout>

Inflate this layout in `getView` method of your adapter.

Problem

I need a GridView, but in each grid, there will be an ImageView and TextView over/inside it. It will be like an item image in each grid, and name of the item on the image. I am tring: ``` public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { ImageView imageView; if (convertView == null) { // if it's not recycled, initialize some // attributes imageView = new ImageView(mContext); imageView.setLayoutParams(new GridView.LayoutParams(300, 300)); imageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_XY); imageView.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0); } else { imageView = (ImageView) convertView; } imageView.setImageResource(mThumbIds[position]); TextView nameView = new TextView(mContext); nameView.setText("Name"); nameView.setTextSize(20); parent.addView(nameView); return imageView; } ``` in my grid view adapter. But I cannot add it here. Also I tried to add it in ImageView but since it is not a ViewGroup, I couldn't achieve. UPDATE: ``` public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(mContext); ViewHolder holder; if (convertView == null) { // if it's not recycled, initialize some // attributes convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.gridviewitem, null, true); holder = new ViewHolder(); holder.image = (ImageView) convertView .findViewById(R.id.gridViewItemImage); holder.name = (TextView) convertView .findViewById(R.id.gridViewItemName); holder.price = (TextView) convertView .findViewById(R.id.gridViewItemPrice); convertView.setTag(holder); } else { holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag(); } holder.image.setImageResource(mThumbIds[position]); holder.name.setText("Item " + String.valueOf(position)); holder.price.setText("$15"); return convertView; } ``` This solved my problem
