I have a ViewFlipper, a button and a custom view in one layout. I would like button and custom view to be on top of the viewflipper so that they appear in every layout that is included in the viewflipper. However I can't see anything except viewflipper right now. How can I achieve the effect i want?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:id="@+id/water_room_layout" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<com.example.room.CustomView
android:id="@+id/customView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|bottom"
/>
<ViewFlipper android:id="@+id/water_room_flipper"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<include layout="@layout/water_room_wall1" android:id="@+id/first" />
<include layout="@layout/water_room_wall2" android:id="@+id/second" />
<include layout="@layout/water_room_wall3" android:id="@+id/third" />
<include layout="@layout/water_room_wall4" android:id="@+id/fourth" />
</ViewFlipper>
</FrameLayout>
Use a RelativeLayout
and reorder the views in your layout as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:id="@+id/water_room_layout" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ViewFlipper android:id="@+id/water_room_flipper"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<include layout="@layout/water_room_wall1" android:id="@+id/first" />
<include layout="@layout/water_room_wall2" android:id="@+id/second" />
<include layout="@layout/water_room_wall3" android:id="@+id/third" />
<include layout="@layout/water_room_wall4" android:id="@+id/fourth" />
</ViewFlipper>
<com.example.room.CustomView
android:id="@+id/customView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|bottom"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
