Android round surface view for video recording

Question

Is there a possibility to have a round surface view instead a rectangle one? If the output is 640x480 it isnt a problem.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Put the SurfaceView into a FrameLayout, then put another View on top of it, either with a PNG mask, or a shape xml drawable.

Answer 2

Simply add surfaceview inside of Cardview and add below parameters :

app:cardCornerRadius="@dimen/_200sdp"
app:cardPreventCornerOverlap="false"


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout 
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.daasuu.sample.SquareActivity">

<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_margin="@dimen/_12sdp"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="1:1"
    app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
    app:cardCornerRadius="@dimen/_200sdp"
    app:cardPreventCornerOverlap="false">

    <!--Add here surfaceview or textureview -->

</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
  


</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
