Make A Text View Overlay Another Text View

I am trying to make a text view to overlay the above text view, I have tried the text align with no success; I can accomplish this by adding a large amount of padding but I do not

Solution 1:

Reading this, it appears you want the project_name view to overlay the org_name view. You can do this by aligning the bottom of the views.

Change this line:

android:layout_below="@id/org_name"

To this:

android:layout_alignBottom="@id/org_name"

That will align the bottom of the two views, effectively placing project_name on top of the org_name view.

Solution 2:

The reason they aren't overlapping is the android:layout_below="@id/org_name" in the second TextView. If you remove that, I think it should work as you want it to. If not, you might want to try a FrameLayout instead of a RelativeLayout.
