The problem here is very simple. You are adding your TextView first and then you are adding ImageView. Both these are set to match parents width and height but since you are adding ImageView later its z-index is greater than that of TextView.

To confirm these just remove the ImageView and then check.

Hope this helps :)

Either re-order your RelativeLayout to place the element you want on top at the bottom of the layout list, or use a FrameLayout. A FrameLayout will allow you to overlay elements.

See here: Android overlay a view ontop of everything?
