How to place a button over the center of another button in Android?

With your current layout, you will need to nest the items. But since you're only interested in the image part of the imagebutton, you can just use a FrameLayout for what you're currently calling "button1" like in my example (adapt to your circumstances).

Please try to use FrameLayout to contains both buttons.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
