title: Make a text view overlay another text view
body: <p>I am trying to make a text view to overlay the above text view, I have tried the text align with no success; I can accomplish this by adding a large amount of padding but I do not want to use padding because I ran into other issues in android variety in screen sizes. I will post an image of what I'm trying to do and also post then XML code. Looking forward to some help here, thanks in advance.</p>
  <p>Image(I am trying to make that black bar with the text android /Design overlay the above area that says busybusy Development as of right now the black text view is just pushing the above text view up were I would like it to just overlay but stays at the same position) <a href="https://imgur.com/ebgNTNk" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://imgur.com/ebgNTNk</a></p>
