I have been googling for a solution, and I only find solutions where <code>FrameLayout</code> or <code>RelativeLayout</code> is used, and I am using <code>LinearLayout</code>. What I am trying to do is display an image in the foreground saying "please wait" before some things load on the page. And I am trying to have that image be centered, and not shift the other page elements around...so for that I guess I need it in the foreground, right? How could I do this? Right now I have this: <pre><code><ImageView android:id="@+id/please_wait" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/please_wait" android:foregroundGravity="center|fill_horizontal" /> </code></pre> But it is not centering the image and isn't putting it in the foreground. Here is the whole xml file: <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <include android:id="@+id/header" layout="@layout/header" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent"/> <ImageView android:id="@+id/please_wait" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/please_wait" android:foregroundGravity="center|fill_horizontal" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/problem_loading_prompt" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Getting the business(es) you are planning. They are stored in a database that is constantly backed up so you do not lose your work." /> <ListView android:id="@android:id/list" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@+id/label" android:textSize="17sp"> </ListView> <Button android:id="@+id/add_problem_ok" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textColor="@color/light_best_blue" android:text="Plan a New Business" android:layout_marginTop ="15dp" /> </LinearLayout> </code></pre> Thanks!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
