I want to inflate a view with only an image to be above my main layout center screen, so far I only am able to add an inflated view as the first child of my main layout. How can I inflate an imageview to be above my other views and be in the center of the screen?
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.image_preview,(ViewGroup)findViewById(R.id.previewHolder));
((LinearLayout) (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.fullScreen)).addView(layout);//add inflated to main view
Main layout
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/fullScreen"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

Activity
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_testing_cam);
badge.setOnClickListener(btnListener);
}
private OnClickListener btnListener = new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//SELECTS BUTTON ACTIONS
switch(v.getId()){
case R.id.status:
finish();
break;
default:
previewImages(v.getId());
break;
}
}
};
//CARRY OUT IMAGE FUNCTIONS
public void previewImages(int index){
try{
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.image_preview,(ViewGroup)findViewById(R.id.previewHolder));
((LinearLayout) (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.fullScreen)).addView(layout);
ImageView iv = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.previewImage);
BitmapDrawable drawable = (BitmapDrawable) ((ImageView) showCase.getChildAt(index)).getDrawable();
Bitmap bitmap = drawable.getBitmap();
iv.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
((LinearLayout) (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.fullScreen)).bringToFront();
}catch(Exception e){ Log.i("ERROR FLATE", e.toString()); }
return;
