Hi All,
I want some suggestions with you guys about a Camera application. That gives opportunity to draw on the live preview Circles, Rectangles and Text etc to Annotate an Object, Building or Equipment for Inspection purposes. I know with SurfaceView we can get a live view with Camera sensor but What will be the correct method to draw on it and write some text inside a text box. An image is attached 
 that shows ideal output of the desired app.
            
 
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              what video player u use exo,normal?

use this extension for showing video in vsa,use dynamic label and place it in same arangement i am not sure for drawing shapes but drawing label works
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              It will use SurfaceView component Not a Video Player.
First It will display a live prieview like when we open a Camera App. Then Allows to Draw and Write Some text etc i.e annotate it. Then take the picture with all of it’s annotations.

              Now I understood, But what about drawing shapes on etc…
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              put canvas inside surface view
set canvas background color to none(transperent)(ffffff00)
also make canvas width,height fill parent
now in canvas
u can make shapes
for example
also leave the mind of dynamic label
