Android SearchView overlapping

I need to build a searchview who is fixed on top of the page.
When i scroll down my searchview is overlapped by a imageslider Image 1 all i need to do is to be always in front to be visible.
I tried everything but always my searchview is in the back of other objects. Any suggestions?
This is my xml file.

You can use elevation to make it at top of other elements
Solution Code:
<SearchView
android:id="#+id/search_bar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:autofillHints="#string/searchint"
android:background="#drawable/bg_round"
android:queryBackground="#color/transparent"
android:elevation="20dp"
android:queryHint="SEARCH PRODUCTS"
android:theme="#style/SearchViewStyle" />
For instance, I used 20dp, you use your preferred value instead.

How to align title,description and url in equal space

Here is a screenshot of layout as it currently appears on my screen:
Here is the xml code snippet for the layout:

Just want to have the three textviews properly aligned and have equal space among each other.

Here is your layout,

Pawan Thakur Use the same paddingLeft for all test and layoutBelow like below
<TextView
android:id="#+id/url_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/desc"
android:height="15dp"
android:paddingRight="80dp"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:text="url"
android:textColor="#BDBDBD"
android:textSize="10dp" />

here is the code. Try maximum to use LinearLayout instead of Relative. Relative layout are used in cases where 2 or more elements have to be overlapped each other. Don't include every elements in a single layout. Divide your design into different sections, and use LinearLayout for each section and within each section, include elements belonging to that section.

u can use a android:weight="" to child of relative layout

Create LinearLayout for title, description and url with vertical orientation and weightsum=3 in Layout and for each of them use width=wrap_content, height=0dp, weight=1.

Okey.. First remove android:height from each TextView and in last TextView you have set android:layout_marginTop="50 remove it.
Tip : Use LinearLayout if your want to show your all view vertically or horizontally. if you want to use RelativeLayout make sure you give margin and padding properly so they look good.

Use Linear layout as parent with weightsum and equally distribute weight amongs the child layouts. ex : If android:weightsum = "3" for parent then android:layout_weight = "1" for each child layout(if you want equal space for each one of the 3 child).
ps: dont forget to mention orientation for Linearlayout.

Just Check this,

Cant remove admob from scrollview

Ive got this project and ive put admob on it but the ad must always be on the bottom of the screen and when you scroll up and down the page the ad must stay in the same place.

edited homexml code but with error

Change the layout_height and layout_width to wrap_content of your ad to see if that removes it. You may also want to try using the SMART_BANNER option in asSize to adjust for size automatically.
The SMART_BANNER option was added in AdMob version 6.0. Take a look at https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/smart-banners. It's way easier to work with.
<com.google.ads.AdView
xmlns:googleads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
android:id="#+id/ad"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
googleads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
googleads:adUnitId="#string/admob_id" />
I'd use a LinearLayout since it's a bit easier in this case, but you can still use a RelativeLayout if you prefer them. The idea is to put the AdView in the XML and use layout_weight to the rest of your layout to fill the View.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/ScrlView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
<!-- ... -->
</ScrollView>
<com.google.ads.AdView
xmlns:googleads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
android:id="#+id/ad"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
googleads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
googleads:adUnitId="#string/admob_id" />
</LinearLayout>

ScrollView and your AdView need to be peers in your RelativeLayout. I have implemented exactly what you desire in this way.

scrollable content within tab content view

I am trying to create an interface that is a tabbed view. my form is in one tab and the results will be in another tab. I am having difficulty in getting the form to scroll down so that I can access the data off screen. Tab1 below is the content I want to be scrollable. Am I using the wrong type of container to hold my form and that is why I cannot scroll it down as I enter data into my form fields? Can you offer any suggestions as to what I am missing or doing wrong please?

</LinearLayout>
tab2 -- once the search is complete the results will be displayed here.:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" android:id="#layout/tab2">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/view2" />
</LinearLayout>

For the tab you want to scroll, you need to use <ScrollView> instead of <LinearLayout>. Or, create the <ScrollView> as the first item in your <LinearLayout>, and then all your scrollable content goes inside the <ScrollView>.
For example...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" android:id="#layout/tab1">
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/scroller"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:fillViewport="true" >
<TextView>...
<EditText>...
<OtherObjects>...
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
