Answer 2

use this code for both of your questions:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="5dip">
<Button
    android:id="@+id/btn1"
    android:layout_width="100dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    />
<Button
    android:id="@+id/btn2"
    android:layout_width="100dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    />
<ImageView android:id="@+id/header"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:src="@drawable/green_bg"
    android:scaleType="centerCrop"
    android:layout_below="@id/btn1"/>

 </RelativeLayout>
