How to add text above it?

How to add an text above the 'button style' linear layout?
I want for example "Hello dear user! Check it below".
Where put textview, where add more layout or whatever?

It is very simple!
You have to add TextView, with id (text, for example) and, in your LinearLayout you need to add line android:layout_below="#+id/text". Optional, you can specify attribute android:layout_alignParentTop="true" in TextView.
Just use code below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#373c5c"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text"
android:text="Text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
/>
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/list_offer_item_container"
android:layout_below="#+id/text"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:layout_marginRight="50dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/shape"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="10dp">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgcreditcompany"
android:layout_width="36dp"
android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="0dp"
android:contentDescription="#string/app_name"
android:layout_height="36dp" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="start"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtname"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="1dp"
android:textColor="#48899f"
android:textSize="#dimen/textsizeearncredit_title"
android:text="Name"
android:textAllCaps="false"
android:textStyle="normal|bold" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtdesc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="1dp"
android:maxLines="1"
android:textColor="#80869c"
android:textSize="#dimen/textsizeearncredit_desc"
android:text="This is a description of the offer and this is just a demo to show off 3 lines stacking correctly on top of each other"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:gravity="end"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical">
<TextView android:id="#+id/list_offer_badge_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#+id/list_offer_item_container"
android:textColor="#color/md_amber_700"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:visibility="gone"
android:text=""/>
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/nextArrow"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:tint="#color/md_grey_300"
android:rotation="180"
android:layout_width="32dp"
android:visibility="gone"
android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_height="32dp"
android:contentDescription="#string/app_name"
android:padding="#dimen/two" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Above
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/list_offer_item_container"
put your TextView or whatever you want. So something like
<TextView android:id="#+id/myTV"
// other attributes />
Then in
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/list_offer_item_container"
add android:layout_below="#id/myTV"
By default, RelativeLayout puts it's elements at the top-left until you specify otherwise. So adding this will put your LinearLayout below the TextView.
I think the confusion is on how RelativeLayout and LinearLayout work. You have orientation in your RelativeLayout which does nothing. RelativeLayout puts it's elements in the order you tell it by the attributes such as layout_below and layout_above. LinearLayout, however, adds them in the order in which they show in the xml file which is why orientation matters in LinearLayout but not RelativeLayout.
You'll want to look at RelativeLayout.LayoutParams and other parts of the documentation to better understand how the layouts work and which is best in your specific cases.

Android Textview text cut off at bottom

So I have 2 textviews, one above the other, but when the second text view is populated the cut is cut off at the bottom. The textview, titled header_subtitle has the issue in question
Clearly Im missing something obvious, but dont know what.

One of your LinearLayouts has height set to fill_parent. change it to wrap_content.
Also, remove the min_height attribute. Yout have two text fields in there, so it looks like you're totally OK with the second getting cut off.
It's kind of hard to tell what you're going for, but see if that helps.

i know it's so late, but this is work like charm for me. add this code to your textview
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:layout_weight="1"

Merging two TextView tags into one solved my issue:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:id="#+id/app_version"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="2dp"
android:text="© 1997 - 2020 "
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:textSize="12sp" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/text_digicollect"
android:text="Onetime"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:layout_marginStart="4dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
Changing to:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:id="#+id/app_version"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="2dp"
android:text="© 1997 - 2020 OneTime"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:textSize="12sp" />

How do i align both textviews on top of the drawable preventing them to pile up on eachother

Hello stackoverflow members. i am trying to achieve this:http://imgur.com/dqwOAOf
But for some reason the two texts cant take these positions like this http://imgur.com/lyYg8Ei
Could anyone explain what i am doing wrong?
and please forgive my artistic talents.
i have added the whole xml file.
The idea is that the two textviews timer and typegekookt are displayed in the center of backgroundtypegekookt evenly spaced out.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Instead of using the ImageView android:id="#+id/backgroundtypegekookt", use a RelativeLayout (or a LinearLayout) with that background (android:background="#drawable/timerwijzer"), and put your TextViews in it
This is what I mean:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/eggContainer"

>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/eggtimerimage"
android:src="#drawable/eiwit"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
/>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/backgroundtypegekookt"
android:background="#drawable/timerwijzer"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/typegekookt"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="zacht"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textColor="#android:color/black"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/timer"
android:below="#id/typegekookt"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="10:00"
android:textSize="22sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textColor="#android:color/black"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<!-- You can use 2 Views instead of 2 TextViews, more efficiently -->
<!-- Anyway, in your screenshots I only see 1 - I guess you'll have to fix that -->
<TextView
style="?android:listSeparatorTextViewStyle"
android:id="#+id/divider1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="-30dp"
/>
<TextView
style="?android:listSeparatorTextViewStyle"
android:id="#+id/divider2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_alignLeft="#id/backgroundtypegekookt"
android:layout_alignStart="#id/backgroundtypegekookt"
android:layout_alignRight="#id/backgroundtypegekookt"
android:layout_alignEnd="#id/backgroundtypegekookt"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
I also fixed the deprecated fill_parent to match_parent and #+id (anticipated reference) to #id (reference), where needed.
Also see my comments in the layout avout the 2 last views.

Unable To Center Objects Within Two Relative Layouts

I'm attempting to split the UI for my horizontal layout into two halves each with it's own realative layout so I am able to center text and graphics within the two left and right halves of the screen. The problem is when I attmept to do so - the go button still ends up in the middle of the screen instead of centered on the right hand of the screen.
(If I can figure out how to center correctly I'm sure I'll be able to apply the same technique to the other elements to achieve the result I desire.

Instead of Relative layout, I would recommend using LinearLayout.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#00dd00"
android:gravity="center"
>
<Button
android:text="Button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#dd0000"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
>
<Button
android:text="Button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
In the inner LinearLayout you can either use android:gravity="center" to have its children centered vertically and horizontally. Or use use android:gravity="center_horizontal" to center in only horizontal way.
EDIT: Added the textview, which was discussed in the comments.
To have the textView appear underneath the button, you must change the orientation of the LinearLayout from horizontal to vertical. Please see the developer site .
The inner LinearLayout thus looks like this.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#dd0000"
android:gravity="center"
>
<Button
android:text="Button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="text here"
/>
</LinearLayout>
How can I use android:layout_below="#+id/go_button" in a linear layout?
You can't. These relationships only work in relative layout where you place views in relation to each other or the parent view. In linear layout items are stacked either vertically or horizontally.

Set android:gravity="center" in
<Button
android:id="#+id/go_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#drawable/apn_app_go_button" />
Maybe its work.

This is what you need to do :
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_horizontal" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/bottom_bar"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="30dp" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/bar1" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/bar2" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/bar3" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:src="#drawable/bar4" />
</LinearLayout>
What I have done here is set the background of parent LinearLayout as the background image and its orientation as horizontal.Most importantly its width as fill_parent .
Hence it will cover the entire width of the parent .Padding will help you add desired spacing between image views.
To make it fit all screen size properly instead of padding use android:weight attribute .
Hope it helps !

This works fine
<LinearLayout
android:id="#id/bar_l2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
