Android Question Imageview 'ontop' of Activity

[FrankDev]

Hi

Is it possible to place a view (imageview) at the very front of an activity?
Ok, now it might get a bit more complicated.
I create a new view via a Java sub. Unfortunately it is always in the foreground. (in its own 'FrameLayout')

how can I now set a normal imageview 'onTop'.
So it's more or less like a dialogue.

Best regards
Frank

Why? Which view?

Put the ImageView in a panel and set its elevation to 10dip.

Hello

I load my views into the activity with

Activity.LoadLayout("layout_main")

then I fade in a video window.

((FrameLayout)mainActivity.getWindow().getDecorView()).addView(this.mCustomView, new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(1000, 500));

The video window is then above all elements

I had already tried the 'elevation'.
the video window still remains in the foreground.

I actually need something like a mouse.
Can I somehow activate and control it in the webview?

regards
Frank

You need to tell us what you are doing. Why aren't you using ExoPlayer?

It is possible that the video player is rendered in such way that doesn't allow putting other views above it.

I am loading a video page into the webview.
then I enlarge the video to fullscreen.
The video then goes 'all the way to the front'.

I have to use the video player of the page, because I don't have a direct link to the video.
The player on the page also handles the advertising.

Is it not possible to activate something like a 'mouse' in the webview ?
