use theandroid:layout_gravity
attribute along with whateverandroid:padding
andandroid:margin

<FrameLayout

android:id="@+id/frame_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<!-- Child1 is drawn first -->
<!-- Child2 is drawn over Child1 -->
<!-- Child3 is drawn over Child1 and Child2 -->
<TextView
android:id="@+id/child1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"
android:text="Child 3"
android:textSize="25sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/child2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
