Answer 1

sfvTrack.setZOrderOnTop(true); 

will place the surfaceView on top of the window, meaning you cannot add items on top of the surfaceView.

If you want to add views on top of the surface view; you should consider using:

setZOrderMediaOverlay(true);

instead. This places this surfaceView on top of other surfaceViews, but still behind the window, allowing you to add other visible views on top of the surface view.
