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 :)
