How do I overlay a textview over a glsufaceview(android)

Question

Ive been following the android opengl tutorials at http://blog.jayway.com/2009/12/03/opengl-es-tutorial-for-android-part-i/ and have searched on how to go about adding a hud type display. The simplest solution seems to be to overlay a textview over the glsurfaceview but I cannot find any examples online.Does anyone know of any examples??

Answer 1

Simply include both views in your layout, one on top of the other like so:

<merge>
      <your.package.YourGLSurfaceView/>
      <TextView .../>
</merge>
