Android : Align image on top right hand corner of button

Question

I have an image which looks like a checkbox, that i would like to align on top right hand corner of button. Have tried relative layout but could not achieve desired result.

Answer 1

It look like this :

Just play with the android:paddingTop="-10dp" as you like.

Here the code :

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/widget_icon"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/filter"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="7dp"
            android:background="#0000FF"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:paddingBottom="25dp"
            android:paddingTop="25dp"
            android:text="Sort"
            android:textColor="#FFFFFF" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/widget_title_icon"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="top|right"
            android:adjustViewBounds="true"
            android:paddingTop="-10dp"
            android:scaleType="fitStart"
            android:src="@drawable/checkbtn" />

    </FrameLayout>

Check this one, hopefully it will help you.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/main_widget"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:layout_marginTop="20dip"
    android:focusable="true" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/icon"
        android:layout_width="60dip"
        android:layout_height="60dip"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:background="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:scaleType="center" />


    <CheckBox
        android:id="@+id/checkBox1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="-10dip"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/icon"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="" />

    </RelativeLayout>

EDIT If you want to move checkbox little further to imageview then increase the android:layout_marginLeft="-10dip" to android:layout_marginLeft="-20dip". Just play with it. :)
