I have a SurfaceView that is larger than its parent LinearLayout, and I display the camera preview on it. The parent LinearLayout has clipChildren set to true (that is the default value anyway). I get differing behaviors of whether the SurfaceView is clipped by the bounds of the parent LinearLayout or not (Screenshots are at the issue I opened at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18988):
1. On Gingerbread, the SurfaceView sometimes gets clipped and sometimes not. 2. On Honeycomb, the SurfaceView always gets clipped when no notifications are popping up. 3. On Honeycomb, the SurfaceView is not clipped if any notification pops are shown from the bottom right of the screen. When I tried to capture this using the Device view in Eclipse, it actually captured an image where the SurfaceView seemed to be clipped. I had to get a picture with a camera to show that the SurfaceView was actually not clipped when a notification has popped up. clipChildren should be honored in all cases. Is there any workaround to reliably get clipping of a SurfaceView? My question is if there is any workaround which will allow me to consistently get clipping of a SurfaceView?
