Hey everyone! I'm brand new to Android and have been working on a very basic app that just takes a picture with an image overlay and saves it. So far I have figured out how to get the camera preview, take a picture, and do an image overlay on the camera preview. I'm at the point where I want to save the camera image and the overlay as one image. The problem I'm running into is that it's saving just the overlay on a black background. So the image from the camera isn't showing up in the saved image, even though it's there. Here's my code. Any help would really be appreciated.
