Hi Chris, What you want to to is define a new class that extends surface view(as "Preview" in CameraPreview does) then include this in your XML layout NOT a plain SurfaceView. Look at the lunar lander example, this is done there.
http://code.google.com/android/samples/LunarLander/index.html here's the bit you need to look at(from lunar_layout.xml) <com.example.android.lunarlander.LunarView android:id="@+id/lunar" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"/> com.example.android.lunarlander.LunarView is a class that extends SurfaceView Cheers Si chrispix wrote: > I originally wanted to implement a camera view on a tab (so if anyone > can assist great!).
