  1. POAndroid Layout: cannot see the children over the parent
    text
    copied!<p>I have the Layouts as you can see in the picture (sorry I cannot post them normally yet): <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28640502/Unbenannt.bmp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28640502/Unbenannt.bmp</a></p> <p>However, when I execute the app I can only see the camera preview and not the text nor the SeekBar. I know they work, because when I reduce the size of the camera I can see them and interact, but if I want the camera to be like background and then the children over it, it doesn't work.</p> <p>I have been checking a lot of threads with similar problems but I don't find the solution: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6759279/how-to-bring-view-on-front-of-everything">1</a>, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5380374/android-how-to-make-a-child-view-overlap-the-parent">2</a>, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6759036/how-to-send-view-to-back-how-to-control-the-z-order-programmatically">3</a>... Any idea? Thanks a lot!</p> <p>Here is my xml code just in case: </p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight="0.55" android:orientation="vertical" &gt; &lt;FrameLayout android:id="@+id/camera_preview" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_gravity="fill"&gt; &lt;LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" &gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/show_height" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_margin="5sp" android:layout_marginRight="10sp" android:layout_weight="0.12" android:text="H" /&gt; &lt;SeekBar android:id="@+id/select_height" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:layout_margin="5sp" android:layout_weight="0.91" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/show_distance" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="0.06" android:text="Dist" /&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; &lt;/FrameLayout&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre>
