Show a TextView in front of a VideoView?

Question

Is there a way to show a TextView in front of a VideoView?

Answer 1

You can stack widgets on the Z-axis using RelativeLayout. Have your VideoView be the first child of the RelativeLayout. Have your TextView be the second child. Have their android:layout_ rules set up such that they overlap in the X/Y coordinate plane. The TextView will appear to float over the VideoView.
