Problem

In Android Studio 3.0.1, I am creating a screen with a GridLayout. Within this GridLayout there are three TextViews and an ImageView.

Here is a visual perspective of the ComponentTree I am describing:

I want the three TextViews to be a layer down from the ImageView, so that that three TextViews are superimposed on top of the ImageView. From what I've read about GridLayouts, there doesn't seem to be a mention of layering. In addition, for TextViews the only tag related to layers has nothing to do with visual display.

Question

Is there a way to layer the ImageView in between the TextViews and the GridLayout?

Use FrameLayout and put ImageView as first child and GridLayout as second child into it. – user221256 Jan 23 '18 at 20:51
That worked, I had had a larger system than the tree depicted, but alternating frame layouts solved my issue. – isakbob Jan 23 '18 at 23:59
