*"Sounds like a LinearLayout with vertical orientation. The first item (top
image) would have a layout_weight of 0.25 and layout_gravity of
center_horizontal, the second (button) a weight of 0.75 and have
layout_gravity = center."*
I'm not sure he wants that top image to always take up 25% of the vertical
space. It sounds to me like he wants the image to take up whatever space
it is supposed to and then have the button centered on the screen with
whatever is left. The above solution would also cause the button's height
to take up the entire remaining space on the screen, which I don't think
was the OP's intent.
I would suggest not using layout weights and wrapping the button in a
layout (perhaps a frame layout since the button is supposed the only thing
going in there. Something like this should work:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:src="@drawable/your_image_source_goes_here"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="My Button"
android:layout_gravity="center"/>
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
