OK I've gone through a few similar questions on SO and around the web, to no avail. I'm just trying to overlay a transparent view on top of a SurfaceView.. and eventually draw a rectangle on it, such that it appears to overlay the camera preview.
I cannot get the custom view to be transparent, it blocks-out the underlying camera preview (showing a black rectangle). Any suggestions? XML Layout code: <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <FrameLayout android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="400dip"> <SurfaceView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/drawSurface" /> <com.bobby.facecapture.FaceOverlayView android:id="@+id/drawOverlay" android:background="@android:color/transparent" android:layout_width="200dip" android:layout_height="200dip" /> </FrameLayout> </RelativeLayout> The FaceOverlayView is just deriving from View. I'm overriding onDraw to draw some custom shapes, but tested without the overridden method too, same effect).
