FrameLayout

FrameLayout is designed to display a single item at a time. You can have multiple elements within a FrameLayout but each element will be positioned based on the top left of the screen. Elements that overlap will be displayed overlapping. I have created a simple XML layout using FrameLayout that shows how this works.

<FrameLayout 

         android:layout_width="fill_parent" 

         android:layout_height="fill_parent" 

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

         <ImageView 

                 android:src="@drawable/icon"

                 android:scaleType="fitCenter"

                 android:layout_height="fill_parent"

                 android:layout_width="fill_parent"/>

         <TextView

                 android:text="android-guide-sss.blogspot.com"

                 android:textSize="24sp"

                 android:textColor="#000000"

                 android:layout_height="fill_parent"

                 android:layout_width="fill_parent"

                 android:gravity="center"/>

</FrameLayout>

Here is the result of this XML.
