I have a small screen camera preview being shown on top of a larger video (see layout at the end). I use SurfaceView#setZOrderMediaOverlay(true) on the small camera preview, and this works most of the time. However, occasionally, the camera preview is not fully displayed. Only the part of it not blocked by the larger video view is displayed, while the 5dip black border *is* fully displayed on top of the large video.
So it seems like SurfaceView#setZOrderMediaOverlay(true) is not working as expected. My understanding of the API is that it guarantees that the SurfaceView will be displayed on top of other SurfaceViews. I do not want to use #setZOrderOnTop as I do want to overlap the camera preview with some icons, and using #setZOrderOnTop(true) would cause the camera preview to display on top of the overlay icons. Any idea why #setZOrderMediaOverlay(true) misbehaves occasionally? I am on Honeycomb MR1 on Motorola Xoom.
