How to draw lines on OpenCV Camera Preview?

Question

Im using OpenCV camera preview.

I want to draw a rectangle over the live preview. Ive tried to override the ondraw method, but I cant see a line. Please help.

package com.example.easymeasure;

import org.opencv.android.JavaCameraView;

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.res.Resources;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.util.AttributeSet;

public class CustomOpenCVJavaCameraView extends JavaCameraView {

    public CustomOpenCVJavaCameraView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        init();
    }

    private Paint linePaint;
    protected void init() { 
        Resources r = this.getResources();
        linePaint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
        linePaint.setAlpha(200);
        linePaint.setStrokeWidth(1);
        linePaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
        linePaint.setColor(r.getColor(R.color.marker_color));
        linePaint.setShadowLayer(2, 1, 1, r.getColor(R.color.shadow_color));        
    }

    @Override
      protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        super.onDraw(canvas);       
        linePaint.setStrokeWidth(5);
        canvas.drawLine(10,20,1000,200,linePaint);
    }
}

Answer 1

Heres the solution: Extended SurfaceView's onDraw() method never called

You simply have to add :

setWillNotDraw(false)

To the constructor

Answer 2

Another point i would like to add: After overriding the onDraw method change the view in layout to:

<CustomOpenCVJavaCameraView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
         />
