already have an answer to ur question:

Quote from the post:

SurfaceView probably doesn't work like a normal View in this regard.

Instead, follow these steps:

• Place your SurfaceView inside a FrameLayout or RelativeLayout in your layout XML file, since both of them allow you to stack widgets on the Z axis
• Move the drawing logic to a separate custom View class
• Add an instance of a custom class view to the XML layout file as a child of FrameLayout or RelativeLayout , but if it appears after SurfaceView

This will cause your custom View class to float over SurfaceView .

There is also a sample project of your choice.
