You can't put a form into a layout. Check out Firemonkey "Frames", that's what you are looking for. — Doug Rudd, Apr 28 '17 at 20:25

I don't think it's possible do that in FireMonkey like VCL. You can do a workaround, create a Layout inside of your form2, set the align to Client, put all controls there instead of put directly in the form.

Form2 := Tform2.create(nil);
Form2.mainLayout.parent := layout1;

Use TFrame.

If you need to show a form on mobile OS NOT on full screen: Check form transparent checkbox - and place on form TLayout with HorizontalCenter Align, on this layout place second Layout with VerticalCenter Align. Then Place on this layout controls you need.
