No a surface view punches a whole through your window at its location to let the surface be seen. Its whole point is that you have complete, direct access to the surface/pixels inside of it. If you are wanting to do something like this, you might want to think about whether you want a surface view at all. I have been getting the impression that a number of people are using it just because it sounds like it will let them draw outside of updates... that's not really its purpose, it's a specialized API for things like video playback, high performance games, etc, things that want to render all of the pixels themselves.
