You need to:

1. put your youtubeThumnailView in Layout (ex. RelativeLayout)

2. add Button or ImageView over your youtubeThumnailView

example:

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <!-- ImageView or your youtubeThumnailView -->
        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/iv_youtube_view"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:scaleType="fitCenter"
            android:src="@drawable/profile_img_default" />

        <!-- ImageView of your button -->
        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/iv_button"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/profile_img_capture" />

    </RelativeLayout>
