title: Overlay images onto Camera preview SurfaceView
body: <p>I have a <code>SurfaceView</code> that is being used to draw images, and I would like to overlay them onto a live-feed from the phone's camera.</p>
  
  <p>Currently, the <code>SurfaceView</code> that contains the images have a white-background, but if I were to overlay them onto the phone's camera feed, they would have to be transparent. The camera and animation drawing cannot be done on the same <code>SurfaceView</code>.</p>
  
  <p>What is the best course to pursue the use of multiple views that involve managing the camera and drawing images? Is it possible to make a <code>SurfaceView</code> transparent? </p>
