Step #1: Put the GLSurfaceView as the first child of a RelativeLayout Step #2: Put the other widgets you want as later children of the same RelativeLayout Step #3: There is no step #3 The widgets should appear to float over the SurfaceView. They are part of your UI and will behave no different than widgets anywhere else (e.g., they'll receive click events). If you don't want them to steal focus, make them non-focusable (I think there's an attribute or setter for that). Note that I have used this technique with a regular SurfaceView, and I am assuming it also works with GLSurfaceView. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Beginning Android_ from Apress Now Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
