How to bring imageView in front of cardview ? When both are of Relative Layout childs

CardView has default elevation which is greater than ImageView, So we have to add greater elevation in ImageView than CardView's elevation.

e.g. imageView.setElevation(10); and cardView.setElevation(5);

Now, its working fine on all devices.

Do it like this,

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView    xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    android:id="@+id/myCardView"    android:layout_width="match_parent"    android:layout_height="match_parent"    card_view:cardBackgroundColor="@android:color/transparent"    card_view:cardElevation="0dp">        <ImageView            android:layout_width="wrap_content"            android:layout_height="wrap_content"            android:src="@drawable/ic_edit"            android:background="@android:color/transparent"/></android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

It will bring the ImageView to front.

You can use this attr

  app:cardElevation="0dp"

to the CardView in XMl .

Like this

   <android.support.v7.widget.CardView        android:layout_width="wrap_content"        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        android:layout_gravity="center"        app:cardElevation="0dp"        app:cardUseCompatPadding="true">

This will make other view in Front of CardView
