android - TextView Does Not Overlay VideoView Inside of FrameLayout -

i trying have textview displayed on top (overlay) of videoview, , not happening. have 2 elements inside of framelayout textview positions below videoview. understanding, supposed place on top.

i have tried various ways of adding textview programmatically , removing additional features of videoview e.g. ontouchlistener().

does have suggestions on how fix problem or explanation of overlaying views me problem? appreciated. have posted code below:

activity_splash.xml

<framelayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context="com.androidtitan.hotspots.activity.splashactivity">  <videoview     android:id="@+id/splashvideo"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent" />  <textview android:id="@+id/splashtitle"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:gravity="center_horizontal"     android:layout_margintop="25dp"     android:text="placeholder text"     android:textsize="60dp"     android:textstyle="bold"     android:textcolor="@android:color/black"/> 

splashactivity.java

package com.androidtitan.hotspots.activity;  import android.app.activity; import android.content.intent; import android.media.mediaplayer; import android.net.uri; import android.os.bundle; import android.util.displaymetrics; import android.util.log; import android.view.motionevent; import android.view.view; import android.widget.framelayout; import android.widget.textview; import android.widget.videoview;  import com.androidtitan.hotspots.r;  public class splashactivity extends activity { private static final string tag = "hotspots";  textview titletextview;  @override protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {     super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);     setcontentview(r.layout.activity_splash);      titletextview = (textview) findviewbyid(r.id.splashtitle);      try{         splashscreen();      } catch (exception e) {         //todo: display picture here alternative         log.e(tag, string.valueof(e));     }      //this returns     if(titletextview.isshown()) {         log.e(tag, "titletextview.isshown()");     }     else {         log.e(tag, "not shown");     }    }  @override public boolean ontouchevent(motionevent ev) {     return false; }  public void splashscreen() {     videoview videoholder = new videoview(this);     setcontentview(videoholder);     uri video = uri.parse("android.resource://" + getpackagename() + "/"             + r.raw.splash);     videoholder.setvideouri(video);     videoholder.setoncompletionlistener(new mediaplayer.oncompletionlistener() {         public void oncompletion(mediaplayer mp) {             jumpmain(); //jump next activity         }     });       displaymetrics metrics = new displaymetrics();     getwindowmanager().getdefaultdisplay().getmetrics(metrics);     videoholder.setlayoutparams(new framelayout.layoutparams(metrics.widthpixels, metrics.heightpixels));      videoholder.start();      videoholder.setontouchlistener(new view.ontouchlistener() {          @override          public boolean ontouch(view v, motionevent event) {             ((videoview) v).stopplayback();             jumpmain();             return true;         }     }); }  private synchronized void jumpmain() {     intent intent = new intent(splashactivity.this, championactivity.class);     startactivity(intent);     finish(); } 

}

you creating new videoview instead of using 1 in xml layout , calling setcontentview replaces xml layout loaded first new videoview. that's why failing. not call setcontentview twice , change code below

public void splashscreen() {     videoview videoholder = (videoview) findviewbyid(r.id.splashvideo);      uri video = uri.parse("android.resource://" + getpackagename() + "/"         + r.raw.splash);     videoholder.setvideouri(video);     videoholder.setoncompletionlistener(new mediaplayer.oncompletionlistener() {         public void oncompletion(mediaplayer mp) {             jumpmain(); //jump next activity         }     });       displaymetrics metrics = new displaymetrics();     getwindowmanager().getdefaultdisplay().getmetrics(metrics);     videoholder.setlayoutparams(new framelayout.layoutparams(metrics.widthpixels, metrics.heightpixels));      videoholder.start();      videoholder.setontouchlistener(new view.ontouchlistener() {          @override          public boolean ontouch(view v, motionevent event) {             ((videoview) v).stopplayback();             jumpmain();         return true;         }     }); }
