Project Detail

Project Name	FrameLayoutDemo
Package	com.pavan.framelayoutdemo
Minimum SDK	API 8
Target SDK	API 17
Theme	Holo Light with Dark Action Bar

1. XML Layout

create a xml with framelayout view containing two textview in it with different background color .

file :-frame_layout.xml 

<FrameLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:id="@+id/mainlayout"
 android:layout_height="fill_parent"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:orientation="vertical" />

<!-- Green Background -->
        <Textview
               android:background="#00FF00"
               android:gravity="bottom"
               android:id="@+id/textView1"
               android:layout_height="200dp"
               android:layout_width="200dp"
               android:text="TextView One"
               android:textsize="15dp" />

<!-- BLUE Background -->
       <Textview
         android:background="#0000FF"
         android:gravity="bottom"
         android:id="@+id/textView2"
         android:layout_height="100dp"
         android:layout_width="100dp"
         android:text="TextView Two"
         android:textsize="15dp" />

</Framelayout>

Inside the framelayout firstly we added textview with green background and next we added another textview with blue background so the most recently added textview that the blue background one will be displayed at top.

2. Activity

Create a class FrameLayout and extend it to activity class and override the onCreate() method of activity class and set the content of the actvity with the above defined xml file by calling setContentView() method and passing xml file name as a parameter to it

                          setContentView(frame_layout);

file :- FrameLayout.java

package com.pavan.framelayoutdemo;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class FrameLayout extends Activity {

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
