web view or other simple UI, how to display over OpenGL surface in native activity via jni 2.3+

[NoAngel]

I need to display , for example , licenses for open source libraries in my game in webview. My game wrote using mostly c++ and some Java called via jni. I need display WebView in full screen foreground while get opengl animation on background(invisible, but not stopped). on win32, it can be easily made via child windows, on ios I can use views with viewcontroller, it was very easy too. But now I need to implement the same function for android. How can it be done best possible method(the most simple way)?

P.S. I need also a view to display some UI over opengl view, for example show textbox, editbox, popup message.

Uh oh.. it's just done also partially, for WebView.
Did it the same way, as for MediaPlayer - override native activity, call webview activity via jni from native. And using startActivityForResult to make it return URL user clicked. ez but(!) on other platforms I have showview(bool) to show/hide webview, and on Android, we have, wtf... nothing webview opens, stopping all my background processing, which is veeery bad for game. coz I need to do special things for and only for Android!
now imagine - u making a game, which uses webview, and every fucking request user see how it's closed and opens new webview to go next web scene... (((

[NoAngel]

p.s. thank god, it doesn't call onDestroy() for native activity when I display webview via startActivityForResult(on startActivity it does), but anyway - its unusable for my needs in current implementation.

Did you ever find a solution to use some Java UI over a native-activity OpenGL surface?

if you want to compose your NativeActivity Surface with other Views (TextView, Button, etc) with a layout... that is not possible by design.

use a standard Activty with JNI binding.
