Answer 1

If they have the same parent, you should be able to use View.bringToFront() on either ImageView to bring it to the foreground.

Answer 2

bringToFront(), give this a try :

Answer 3

Ok Here is trick to do that, First create a FrameLayout and put images into that in order for four images like

1) image1 
2) image2

3) image2
4) image1

By default the visibity of 3) and 4) will be hidden. 1) and 2) is visible. When user click 2) : make 1) and 2) hidden and show 3) and 4).

Then in similar way if user clicks 4): hide 3) and 4) and show 1) and 2). Hope this will help.

Answer 4

using View.bringToFront() can be useful for you
