Question

I have a RelativeLayout, and this Layout has two childs, one is a MapView and the other a RelativeLayout that contains a button.

I want it to look like that

but my transparent box (a RelativeLayout) is always displayed at the top of the map.

<RelativeLayout 
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content">

  <com.google.android.maps.MapView
    android:id="@+id/mapView"/>

    <test.project.TransparentPanel 
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent">   

        <Button 
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:text="Click Me!"/>   

    </test.project.TransparentPanel>

</RelativeLayout>   

(i’ve left out some things in the code)

Answer 1

Try adding a alignParentBottom option to the transparent panel.

<RelativeLayout 
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content">

  <com.google.android.maps.MapView 
    android:id="@+id/mapView"/>

  <test.project.TransparentPanel
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">

      <Button 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:text="Click Me!"/>         

  </test.project.TransparentPanel>

</RelativeLayout>
