One of the things I'm trying to design is a Picture in Picture, or PiP, effect which displays one video playing on the "full screen" while another plays as an insert. This is the same type of effect you see when watching a news program on TV in which the commentator is shown sitting at a desk and recorded footage is shown in a "box" on the same screen. However, in my use-case, the full screen is a camera preview and the PIP window is the video playback. Apart from the PIP overlay I want to overlap some buttons like pause, resume to control the preview settings.
The camera preview uses a SurfaceView and Camera classes and video playback uses the VideoView as in the samples. But not sure how the overlapping windows can be achieved. I have looked through the reference docs and did not find any explanation on what is the best way is to achieve overlays. Maybe multiple SurfaceViews is more suited for this, can someone please comment on the use-case that I have described above and suggest any ideas on how to achieve this.
