title: How to paste stuff over a camera preview on Android?
body: <p>I am making the classic AR app for Android.</p>
  
  <p>I am using a SurfaceView to show the camera.</p>
  
  <p>I want to know, how I put things over it... Currently I am using widgets, but they have two issues:</p>
  
  <p>First, they are slow.
  Second, you cannot rotate them in 1.5 without using view animation, and noone I asked so far (here, forums, google, irc...) knows how view animation work, so I am failing to make the view animation work in sync with the custom view that put widgets over the camera (resulting in flickering).</p>
  
  <p>Thus I decided to change the method of putting things on the screen, so what other ways exist? (note I am bound to Android 1.5)</p>
