Question

The question is pretty straightforward. I want to place an ImageView so
that it is aligned with the parents left side and the parents horizontal center.
Is this possible without adding other layouts etc. ?

EDIT:
Here is an image of what i want. Not that the ImageView should align with the parents horizontal center. The height of the ImageView is not important.

So, I know this what you don’t want, but it is the way to get what you want:

 <RelativeLayout
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     android:layout_width="match_parent" />
     <View
         android:id="@+id/anchor"
         android:layout_width="0dp"
         android:layout_height="0dp"
         android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
     <ImageView
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
         android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/anchor" />
</RelativeLayout>

---

Pre-Edit:

I would specifically put it in a RelativeLayout with these attributes:

<ImageView
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    ... whatever else you need />

I’m assuming here you want it to be centered vertically as it would be impossible to be aligned left and horizontally centered.
