Overlay images onto Camera preview SurfaceView

Viewed 60629

I have a SurfaceView that is being used to draw images, and I would like to overlay them onto a live-feed from the phone's camera.

Currently, the SurfaceView that contains the images have a white-background, but if I were to overlay them onto the phone's camera feed, they would have to be transparent. The camera and animation drawing cannot be done on the same SurfaceView.

What is the best course to pursue the use of multiple views that involve managing the camera and drawing images? Is it possible to make a SurfaceView transparent?
