I'm novice in android development and still can't understand fully how sizing works with different layouts. I want to place a preview of the book into this template: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/tXs55.png" alt="book_template"> I've tried to implement it using FrameLayout. The idea is that the center of preview image will be exactly where the center of the png background is. Here is the code: <pre><code><FrameLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight=".5" > <ImageView android:id="@+id/imageView1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/book_frame" /> <ImageView android:id="@+id/previewImage" android:layout_width="83dp" android:layout_height="83dp" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal" android:src="@drawable/abs__ab_bottom_solid_dark_holo" /> </FrameLayout> </code></pre> The result in layout builder look exactly like I want it to be: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/bwzZU.png" alt="emulator_result"> On real phone it is different: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/gxC9D.png" alt="phone_result"> I think on other resolutions it will also differ from both variants. So my question is how to synchronize these images so after any resizing and distortions the preview will fit the cover correctly? Possible solution would be to remove border from image and place it on previewImage instead. But there are several similar usecases in application where the border can't be removed, so I'd like to find out a universal solution for all of them.

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.
