Basically, it works like a stack where each view is stacked on top of the other.
Create a drawable file for shadow view and assign the name image_shadow and add the below code in this file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
<gradient
android:angle="270"
android:centerX="300%"
android:endColor="#99000000"
android:startColor="#00000000"
android:type="linear" />
<size
android:width="270dp"
android:height="60dp" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#878787" />
</shape>
Now, open the XML file and add the below code into it, and set this drawable file as view background.
<androidx.appcompat.widget.LinearLayoutCompat
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="@drawable/shopping_image"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"/>
<View android:id="@+id/view"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:background="@drawable/image_shadow"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"/>
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:textColor="@android:color/white"
android:text="Write your text here"
android:textSize="25sp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@+id/view"/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</androidx.appcompat.widget.LinearLayoutCompat>
That’s it. You should be ready to go.
