I have to position an overlay a bit shifted to the left of the
containing layout's left margin.

The overlay is an ImageView. I tried using negative margin. This
shifts the ImageView ("bounding box", can see it with Android layout
manager) but not the image!

I posted a better description of this problem (with images) here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10246726/android-overlay-with-absolute-position-over-not-absolute-layout

I also found somebody else with a similar problem:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6030207/how-to-place-an-imageview-on-top-of-anothe-layout-as-shown-in-the-figure/6030255#comment13167751_6030255

For now I solved it using absolute layout. But there should be a
better approach. What is it?

I also would like to understand why using negative margin doesn't move
the image, in my case.

Thanks in advance.
