android - linear layout bringToFront()

Question

I have 4 buttons in my linear layout and i need to bring to front first button.

Normal order is

    Button 1 | Button 2 | Button 3 | Button 4
         


        

Answer 1

Since bringToFront messes up the LinearLayout order, I decided to use a RelativeLayout and put the "top" view (the view I want on top) last in the XML.

Example:

In the specific case of this question, the ViewOnTop would be the Button 1, and the ViewBelow would be a LinearLayout containing the other buttons.
