To get an overlay layout, you can use FrameLayout since it's child views will stack on top of each other. In your case, your item_layout.xml would look like this

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/ivBackground"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:src="@drawable/myimage"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tvOverlayText"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:text="@string/mytext"
        android:gravity="center"/>

</FrameLayout>
