<ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageView1"
            android:layout_width="34dp"
            android:layout_height="61dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="11dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="0dp"
            android:contentDescription="@string/desc"
            android:layout_marginTop="11dp"
