Adding views on top of UnityPlayer in UnityPlayerActivity

Many developers now a days trying to integrate Unity with Android, and they are successful. But the problem is adding android views on top of Unity Player.

When we get android project from Unity , we will get UnityPlayerActivity.class, This class onCreate() looks like this,

UnityPlayer mUnityPlayer= new UnityPlayer(this);
setContentView(mUnityPlayer);
mUnityPlayer.requestFocus();

In above code we can see , UnityPlayerset as a view.

Instead of setting UnityPlayer as a view, set Layout from resources setContentView(R.layout.activity_unity_player) .

Now onCreate() method looks like this

UnityPlayer mUnityPlayer= new UnityPlayer(this);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_unity_player)
mUnityPlayer.requestFocus();

Create layout R.layout.activity_unity_player and change layout as below,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"     android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/main_layout">

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/unity_player_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:background="@color/toolbar_color"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/back_button"
        android:src="@mipmap/done"
        android:background="@null"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/dp_10"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom|start"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/done_button"
        android:src="@mipmap/done"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/dp_10"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</FrameLayout>

We added layout for UnityPlayerActivity.class , to add Unity Player to that layout ,

change UnityPlayerActivity.class in onCreate() method:

        UnityPlayer mUnityPlayer = new UnityPlayer(this);
        setContentView(R.layout.unity_player_activity_layout);
        FrameLayout frameLayout = (FrameLayout)findViewById(R.id.unity_player_layout);
        frameLayout.addView(mUnityPlayer.getView());
        mUnityPlayer.requestFocus();

Now we have added Unity Player and two custom Image Buttons on top of that Unity Player .

Happy coding , Good luck :)
