GLSurfaceView/SurfaceView overlap

Question

I asked a question about this earlier but received no responses, so I\'m trying again.

I need to do a rendered 2D picture with some accompanying labels and graphics

Answer 1

Never try to overlap a GLSurfaceView with anything (above or below). At best it breaks on your device and you catch it early, at worst it works on one device and not others. Bite the bullet and do everything in a GL view or none of it. If you need the speed then GL is the way to go.
