Try this:

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


        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageView1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/uph" 
             android:layout_marginTop="-10dp"/>

        <RelativeLayout  android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
            android:layout_gravity="top|center">

            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/imageView2"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:src="@drawable/propfile" 
            />

           <TextView  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
               android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
               android:text="text" 
               android:layout_centerInParent="true"
           /> 
      </RelativeLayout>   
    </LinearLayout>
