Question

I am new in Android. I need to create a simple UI like on image below:

On background (now it red) I need image that will have to stretch for screen. Above the background image I need EditText and Button as on the figure.

So, I understand you are new to Android. There are many tutorials for beginners in Android development for a headstart that you can google. But, anyway, to help you answer your question, here’s what you should be putting in your xml:

main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:orientation="vertical"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<EditText android:id="@+id/editText"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

<Button android:id="@+id/button"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:text="Button" />

</LinearLayout>

Then, on your Activity, call setContentView(R.layout.main) on the onCreate() method.
