Frame Layout

FrameLayout is designed to block out an area on the screen to display a single item. You can, however, add multiple children to a FrameLayout and control their position within the FrameLayout by assigning gravity to each child, using the android:layout_gravity attribute.

Generally, FrameLayout is used to hold a single child view. Common use cases are creating place holders for inflating Fragments in Activity, overlapping views or applying foreground to the views.

Example:

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ImageView

        android:src="@drawable/nougat"

        android:scaleType="fitCenter"

        android:layout_height="match_parent"

        android:layout_width="match_parent"/>

    <TextView

        android:text="FrameLayout Example"

        android:textSize="30sp"

        android:textStyle="bold"

        android:layout_height="match_parent"

        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:gravity="center"/>

</FrameLayout>

It will look like this:
