Android Question Camera goes under videoview

[jazzzzzzz]

Am using exCamera to preview cam on panel,the cam panel position is above a videoview,

The issue is that when i initialize camera the preview goes below videoview,I have used panel.bringtofront and that does not solve the issue..

if camera is not initialized in the panel then panel is showed above the videoview..Any ideas?

The camera preview frames are drawn directly to the screen. Test it with ExoPlayer. The behavior might be different.

I cant use ExoPlayer as it does not support RTSP.Any other solution?

You can hide the preview panel while the video is played.

My videoview will be always playing from an RTSP IP Camera, as it is like a surveillance system.

So I must have to show the device camera preview above the video without hiding the videoview

You will need to resize / reposition the VideoView while the preview panel is visible.

so no other way to pop over?

Yes. No other option.

I solved the issue by creating a new activity for camera and made activity as dialog using

SetActivityAttribute(Main, android:theme, "@android:style/Theme.Dialog")

so now video is playing background with camera as popup..
