your solution is good but i mean as UI component a label for example not letterly a text string
Just because of this?
no for sure these are minor reasons , in short so far a label is fair enough for me but sure if you can let it add all the UI components like a [ button , textbox , label ... ] these i guess are the most important and vital UI components.
Why not just set an arrangement's background to the image, and then put all of the components inside?
Generally, it is not a good idea to put buttons on a canvas. Why would you have animation happening at the background of the components?
a sample that is easily can be accomplished with canvas + labels + font , but in any other way it will be super hard.
i know i can use sprites instead of labels but the app size will be much big than simple font which doesn't take 400 kb at maximum , instead of more than 20 images which at least it will take 900 kb or 1000 kb.

same problem it crash on the very first run of the app and closes fast
I will check it and see , i tried to import the extension to app inventor and it worked that's promising so far 
thank you.
unfortunately that extension is limited in positions like there are only 9 options so it's not useful for my case.
but in his documentation it isn't clear like this so it's more than 9 positions i will try it probably this is the solution for my dilemma , i hope it doesn't crash on start up either
i built over 6 apks and didn't work for me can you share your aia file please , for the verticalarrangement i set it fill parent for both height + width but with no work the label is stuck on top left corner even with gravity 300 , 100 and others.
thanks but it's super weird on my emulator
it showed up like this even with gravity 22 , 50 , i'll try it on real device and see.
update : it worked on emulator but probably cache thing of old version of the apk stucked.
This is what it showed when I tested the AIA. Not sure if this is want @Don_Ammar wanted, though.

yes it works fine on real device but on external emulator it doesn't that's really weird
same result as yours on real device i think that is the optimal solution.
