'Put a button over an ImageView

I'm newbie in Android.

I would like to know if it's possible to put a button or another component over an ImageView. I've tried setting the image as a background image of a LinearLayout, but when I change between landscape and portrait mode, the image porportions are changed.

Thanks a lot.

Try this code... it's Help you....

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
   android:orientation="vertical"   
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"  
   android:layout_height="fill_parent">  

 <ImageView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:id="@+id/imageviewMain"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="Path "
/>
<Button android:id="@+id/but2"

The simpliest way to do it is to use a FrameLayout.

This is easy using the ConstraintLayout.

Set the constraints of the Button to the ImageView.
Drag the Button anywhere you want over the ImageView to position it.
XML code will be autogenerated.

For those using Constraint Layout: Just use an ImageView and add its constraints from all the four side to Parent and than add the other views as well.
