Put an ImageView in your RelativeLayout, after the SurfaceView, set to the same dimensions (which are rather strange in your current implementation). Then, put the bitmap in the ImageView. Later children in a RelativeLayout stack over top (on the Z axis) of earlier children, so your ImageView will appear over top of the SurfaceView. > And how can I change the transparency level? You can try the under-documented setAlpha() on ImageView. If not, you may need to modify the bitmap itself, somehow -- that's not my cup of tea, so I don't have a specific implementation in mind. Bear in mind that compositing the ImageView and the SurfaceView may slow down the frame rate of your camera preview. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training...At Your Office: http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
