CardView Text overlay over imageview in android

Question

Here's an example what i'm trying to do :

The result of my attempt to do so is very bad :

XML code that contains CardView with ImageView , 2 TextViews and ButtonImage:

Here's my XML:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
    android:id="@+id/cardView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="16dp"
    android:background="@color/card"
    app:cardCornerRadius="5dp"
    app:cardElevation="6dp"
    app:cardMaxElevation="10dp"
    app:contentPadding="25dp">

    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/relativeLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/masarImg"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:focusable="auto"
            android:scaleType="centerCrop" />


        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/masarTitle"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_above="@+id/mapBtn"
            android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:layout_marginBottom="43dp"
            android:background="#AA000000"
            android:paddingLeft="16dp"
            android:paddingRight="16dp"
            android:paddingTop="24dp"
            android:text="SomeText"
            android:textColor="#ffffffff"
            android:textSize="24sp" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/descreption"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_above="@+id/mapBtn"
            android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:background="#AA000000"
            android:paddingBottom="16dp"
            android:paddingLeft="16dp"
            android:paddingRight="16dp"
            android:text="SomeText"
            android:textColor="#ffffffff"
            android:textSize="14sp" />

        <ImageButton
            android:id="@+id/mapBtn"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
            android:padding="8dp"
            app:srcCompat="@drawable/b" />

    </RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

Could you please help me with my XML code to get pretty result ?

For a better design, I recommend you to use RoundedImageView (to set image corner inside the card).

Layout :

1. res/layout.xml

<FrameLayout 
     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
        <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
            android:id="@+id/cardView"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_margin="20dp"
            android:background="@android:color/white"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            app:cardCornerRadius="10dp"
            app:cardElevation="20dp">

        <!--Card Image-->
        <com.makeramen.roundedimageview.RoundedImageView
            android:id="@+id/img"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:scaleType="centerCrop"
            android:src="@drawable/test"
            app:riv_corner_radius="10dp"/>

        <FrameLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:padding="20dp">

            <!--Title & Description Text-->
            <LinearLayout
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="start|bottom"
                android:orientation="vertical">
                <!--Title Text-->
                <FrameLayout
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:background="@drawable/transparent_card">
                    <TextView
                        android:id="@+id/title"
                        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_gravity="center"
                        android:textAlignment="center"
                        android:text="Title"
                        android:textColor="@android:color/white"
                        android:textSize="24sp"
                        android:layout_margin="5dp"/>
                </FrameLayout>
                <!--Description Text-->
                <FrameLayout
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:background="@drawable/transparent_card"
                    android:layout_marginTop="5dp">
                    <TextView
                        android:id="@+id/description"
                        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_gravity="center"
                        android:textAlignment="center"
                        android:text="Description"
                        android:textColor="@android:color/white"
                        android:textSize="20sp"
                        android:layout_margin="5dp"/>
                </FrameLayout>
            </LinearLayout>

            <!--Button-->
            <FrameLayout
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:background="@drawable/transparent_card"
                android:layout_gravity="end|bottom"
                android:clickable="true"
                android:focusable="true">
                <FrameLayout
                    android:id="@+id/btn"
                    android:layout_width="30dp"
                    android:layout_height="30dp"
                    android:background="@android:drawable/ic_menu_share"
                    android:layout_margin="5dp"/>
            </FrameLayout>
        </FrameLayout>
    </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</FrameLayout>

2. drawable/transparent_card.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <shape
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:shape="rectangle">

    <solid
        android:color="#78000000"/>

    <corners
        android:radius="5dp"/>
    </shape>

The layout will looks like this:
