I solved this, thanks in part to http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_thread/thread/489e56ea2a1d42a9/994eb23731f60650?lnk=gst&q=OpenGL+View+on+top+of+Camera#994eb23731f60650
Follow the instructions on that thread. Here's the general strategy: 1. In your main activity, set as the main view the GLSurfaceView object using the setContentView method. 2. Then, add the SurfaceView being used to draw the camera. 3. Add other SurfaceViews to the display as necessary. That order is very important, otherwise the views block each other.
