Is there any way to set a View's elevation globally regardless of its parent ViewGroup, i.e. relative to the activity's root view? If it can be done with some native code that would be ok too.
I have a custom View that needs to show a badge within its bounds, however it is sometimes blocked and hidden by an overlay view.
I know I could just make the badge be part of a view that is on top of the overlay but I really want to keep the custom view and its logic all neatly tied up in one part of its code and layout.
