we want to position the ImageView directly below the EditText. We do this using the layout_below attribute. Add this new

ImageView directly below the EditText

activity_main.xml 
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/captionField"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
              android:layout_alignParentTop="true"

        android:hint="Enter a caption" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true

android:layout_below="@+id/captionField"
