Floating YouTube Window on home screen

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi Corona labs/community,

Is it possible to create a floating YouTube window in Lua Corona SDK?

Please see this picture

I have been considering the possiblity of creating a transparent rect in composer to show the home screen. Would this be possible?

The goal is to make a window that floats ontop of other applications and is draggable.

Regards,

Carl

I don’t think so, this looks like something that would have to be done natively to me.

Corona uses OpenGL for it’s display and I don’t believe that OpenGL can have a transparent background on Android. Secondly the only YouTube support we have is through a webView. That is a native feature.
