android显示布局边界的边距,Android的覆盖外/布局边界之间

I have to add an overlay (ImageView) so that it's a bit shifted to the left of the containing layout's left boundary.

What is the best way to do this?

Tried something simple, like putting the ImageView inside the layout and use negative margin

android:layout_marginLeft="-20dip"

This made this:

(Correction: Text in the image should be 20dip not 20px)

AbsoluteLayout is deprecated. Is there something like z-order? Or what do I do?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I tried using relative layout instead. Same effect. Here's the xml reduced to a minimum:

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:clipChildren="false"

android:paddingLeft="50dip"

>

android:id="@+id/myId"

android:layout_width="60dip"

android:layout_height="60dip"

android:layout_marginLeft="-30dip"

android:clipChildren="false"

android:src="@drawable/pic" />

Result

Also happens when the containing layout has a background image smaller than the screen instead of padding.

解决方案

Using RelativeLayout instead of LinearLayout (to allow overlapping) and adding this to the RelativeLayout fixed it:

android:clipToPadding="false"
