How add view over TextureView

Question

i need to add View over my TextureView which play video in it i used VideoView before and it was totally fine but i had problem with animation so i changed it to TextureView and now i can't put any View over it! seems that Textureview will cover over all views this is my xml layout :

  <FrameLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/frmview"
    >

    <com.my.app.TextureVideoView
        android:id="@+id/vv_play"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:alpha="0.0" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/iv_play"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/app_ic" />
</FrameLayout>

How can i put a View over TextureView which is playing video?

finally i had to add it programmically to my FrameLayout after initializing TextureView and playing video!

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);

    mPreview = (TextureView) findViewById(R.id.vv_play);
    mPreview.setSurfaceTextureListener(this);
    FrameLayout frameLayout = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.frmview);

    ImageView img = new ImageView(this);
    img.setImageResource(R.drawable.app_ic);
    frameLayout.addView(img);
}

Perhaps you can try this api of TextureView:

TextureView.setOpaque(false);

TextureView that constantly updates its content (e.g. playing video) will always overdraw any View content that is put on the top of it (e.g. TextureView and some other View puted inside FrameLayout container).

The best solution I found to handle that is to show the top View inside another Window that sits on top of Window that contains TextureView, e.g. PopupWindow can be used for that.
