add buttons in front of javacameraview Android - android

I have a javacameraview in my main activity. I would like to put some control buttons in front of the camera
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.example.gustavo.tassio.opencvnativeandroid.Principal">
<org.opencv.android.JavaCameraView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:visibility="gone"
app:show_fps="true"
app:camera_id="any"
android:id="#+id/cameraOpenCv"/>
JavaCameraView cameraView;
cameraView = (JavaCameraView) findViewById(R.id.cameraOpenCv);
cameraView.setVisibility(SurfaceView.VISIBLE);
cameraView.setCvCameraViewListener(this);
it is like this now, just the pure image, my idea is to put the buttons on this scene

If you add buttons to your framelayout, they will be displayed as you wish. The views in framelayout are displayed in chronological order. When you change visibility of a subview of a framelayout, it's order does not change, all subviews that you added after it either in xll or programmatically will be drawn "above".

android:background killing Activity enter/return transitions

I always used Activity enter/return transitions (using xml transitions like slide and fade to animate views) and always worked because it's very straightforward. Now in my last project I was having problems even with dummy activites (without any real processing), the transitions simply don't work, so after hours of changing layout code, I figured out that the responsible is the android:background in root FrameLayout of Activity Layout where I set some background color. When I removed this attribute, the transitions came back to work. Also, if I apply this attribute only in activity theme, the transitions stop again.
Currently my project is only animating the second activity that only has this layout structure:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView>
<RecyclerView>
</FrameLayout>
And the transition does slide in ImageView from top and slide in RecyclerView from bottom. But like I've said. It only works if the root FrameLayout don't have a background color.
Do you have any idea if it's a bug or anything else?
EDIT: If I use an ugly dummy view just to provide background color, the transitions work:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary" />
<ImageView>
<RecyclerView>
</FrameLayout>
EDIT 2: Same problem happens if I use another root ViewGroup like LinearLayout instead FrameLayout.
I've found a solution (or workaround) using a friend tip:
if I use this attribute in root FrameLayout, the transition works:
android:transitionGroup="false"

How to position a view off-screen in Android layout

I'm using the Scene/Transition system introduced in 4.4 to simply move an image view from the left to the center of the screen. So the layout for my first scene requires the image to be off screen. I tried android:layout_marginRight but that no effect. What is the correct way to do this?
Use the property translationX or translationY with a negative value. This property sets the horizontal/vertical location of this view relative to its left/top position. You will not see the view off screen in the preview. Run your app and the view must be hidden.
Example:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|start"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
android:translationX="-72dp"/>
</FrameLayout>
And then in the activity or fragment simply invoke the animate() function.
FloatingActionButton button = (FloatingActionButton)findViewById(R.id.button);
button.animate().translationX(0);
Was thinking one could make the image be to the right of something that is already at the right side, that should keep it off screen. Also, potentially just make it "gone" and then on transtion make it appear.

Move relative layout from AlignParentBottom to AlignParentTop

I'm doing this in Xamarin, so there will be slight deviations in the casing and names of methods.
I have a RelativeLayout that has ads and is placed at the bottom. Unfortunately, the ads block part of the playable map, so I'm attempting to move it to the top when the player moves near the bottom. I initialize the banner with the following code:
_banner = new RelativeLayout(this);
_lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MatchParent, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WrapContent);
_lp.AddRule(LayoutRules.AlignParentBottom);
_lp.AddRule(LayoutRules.AlignParentLeft);
AddContentView(_banner, _lp);
I'm now attempting to move it to the top, but am failing. I've tried removing and re-adding it, but that does nothing.
var lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MatchParent, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WrapContent);
((FrameLayout)(_banner.Parent)).RemoveView(_banner);
lp.AddRule(LayoutRules.AlignParentTop);
lp.AddRule(LayoutRules.AlignParentLeft);
AddContentView(_banner, lp);
I've also tried setting the LayoutParameters, but that throws an exception. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.

From your code I gather you are nesting a RelativeLayout (contains the ad) inside a FrameLayout. Your RelativeLayout only matches your parent in width, not height.
As such the RelativeLayout doesn't have the same size as your FrameLayout.
Your ad is thus touching both top and bottom of the RelativeLayout. And that RelativeLayout is always aligned to the top of the FrameLayout.
To solve this you have three options:
Make the RelativeLayout match the entire height of the FrameLayout and position your ad within that RelativeLayout.
Change the FrameLayout into a RelativeLayout, that way your alignParentBottom parameter will start working.
Use a 'layout_gravity' parameter on the RelativeLayout to tell the FrameLayout you want this View sent to the bottom.
Effectively your code is doing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout
android:alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#FF0000"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="240dp"
/>
</FrameLayout>
But for stuff to work you need to use android:layout_gravity which is a FrameLayout.LayoutParameter.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:background="#FF0000"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="240dp"
/>
</FrameLayout>
Just paste the two pieces in a layout.xml and use the Android Designer to view the difference.

FrameLayout borders in Android app

What I have to implement in order to limit the max size of a FrameLayout or the View inside it?
I am using a FrameLayout for my Android app:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/dog_holder"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I have added a View to it:
FrameLayout frame = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.dog_holder);
dog = new DogView(this);
frame.addView(dog);
(DogView extends View)
I am initializing the View with a bitmap:
my_dog = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.dog);
I want to move around the picture (I have implemented the touch controls) but not to be able to move outside it. Good example is a picture gallery app: while a picture is zoomed you can go around it but on the borders there is bouncy effect which doesn't allow to go into the dark side.
What I have to implement to stop me when I try to go outside the dimension of the bitmap?

creating a camera view with button for android

i have set up an activity that loads up the camera and allows me to preview it but i need to add a button to the screen but the only way i can get the screen to display is by using the following layout:
<android.view.SurfaceView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/myview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</android.view.SurfaceView>
is there a way for me to add a button to the view?
Put your SurfaceView and button into a RelativeLayout. Both of those types of layouts allow views to overlap so your button will be on top of your SurfaceView. The set up would be something like this
<RelativeLayout>
<SurfaceView></SurfaceView>
<Button></Button>
</RelativeLayout>
DeeV's answer is correct for the RelativeLayout part. The FrameLayout isn't intented to contain multiple children. So the RelativeLayout is the way to go.
