is there a recommended way to use

*AndroidExternalSurface*

for media playback? if so, how should it be set up? what should be the z order for it?

You don't need to change the Z order unless you have a good reason to do so

yep, • z-ordering: the default z-ordering is behind, so was wondering if that needs to be updated • isOpaque: do we need to tweak this value? or just let it be true?OnAttachStateChangeListener in this case?

Keep z-ordering and isOpaque to their defaults unless you know you need them

Attach tells the player the SurfaceView to render video into. Detach tells player to release the SurfaceView so that it won't be leaked

You can do this when you get the

onSurface

and

onSurfaceDestroyed

events in

AndroidExternalSurface

cool, thanks 🙂
