Solution:

In your main_activity.xml,

set the background image for your topmost layout: (Relative or Constraint whatever you are using)

Then take another layout and give height and width to match_parent and apply the below Gradient to the background of it.

Gradient file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient
android:angle="135"
android:centerColor="@color/colorAccentSecondary"
android:endColor="@color/colorPrimary"
android:startColor="@color/colorAccent"
android:type="linear" />

<corners android:radius="0dp" />
</shape>


Hope it helps.
