The current way I am doing is have Video View and TextView widgets side by
side.
I came across Canvas API with drawText function. exploring how it can be
used to overlay text of video view.

Just put the VideoView and the TextView in a RelativeLayout -- if the
TextView is later in the XML file, it will appear to float over the
VideoView.
