How to put Imageview Behind other layout

android, android-layout, android-relativelayout

Solution

Put the image view above (on top - first child of the parent) the layout in the xml file that way the image will be behind the layout

Problem

I am using a imageview for animation so that it will look like movement left to right. but my image is displaying front of other views so that user is able to click on image. i am trying to display it behind the other view. ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/layout" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
