Question

Answer 1

I assume you are trying to play video on glsurface ,it is possible by using surface video texture ,but only ics(4.0) and above devices support surface video texture.Vuforia have a very good sample of this here,you can handle what to do for lower devices such as playing video fullscreen etc..

Answer 2

I don't know qcar, but of course you can put a SurfaceView upon an existing SurfaceView from your CameraPreview and play a video in it.

What I would do is implementing your poster-recognition logic, this will be tricky enough and then, If it works reliable, I would add another SurfaceView in which the video is played.

You will find out, that the CameraPreview surface has actually to be on top of the video surface.
