Simply you can use RealtiveLayout and negative margins

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/activity_landing"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/screen_background">


    <ImageView
        android:background="@color/black"
        android:id="@+id/img_background"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher" />

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="80dp"
        android:layout_height="80dp"
        android:layout_below="@+id/img_background"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="-40dp"<!-- negative margin to half of height -->
        android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher" />

</RelativeLayout>

The FrameLayout is more optimised to perform this function. I carries less overhead.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/activity_landing"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
   >


    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/img_background"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="500dp"
        android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:background="@color/colorPrimary"/>

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="160dp"
        android:layout_height="160dp"
        android:layout_below="@+id/img_background"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom|center_horizontal"
        android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:background="@color/cardview_dark_background"/>

</FrameLayout>

This can be achieve easily by RelativeLayout but you need to look about CoordinatorLayout and its features.

You have to set the margin Top with minus(-) values.It will overlap your image view with other

I found above answer using hardcode value of dimensions and other guidine etc stuff,

Make ConstraintLayout your Root folder and then add these two Views like this

<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView
 android:id="@+id/imageHome"
 app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="@dimen/pager_height"
 android:scaleType="centerCrop"
 android:src="@drawable/header"


<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView
 android:id="@+id/imageUser"
  app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@id/imageHome"
  app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/imageHome"
  android:layout_width="80dp"
  app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
 app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
 android:layout_height="80dp"
 android:src="@drawable/about" />

/>

how to half overlap imageview on another imageview in android
