App Inventor Android app development with camera window constantly at top with activities changing at bottom

[Janisroze]

I am very new to Android development and would like to create a specific project. I would need the app to be split vertically approx 1:3. The top part would be a camera window that is there always. It would be paused mostly except the moments its unpaused for taking a picture(there would be a lot of picture taking). The bottom part would be independent activities.

First of all I am asking is this possible? If yes then how or at least maybe someone could nudge me to some solutions, courses, tutorials, literature tad could help with such thing.

Very grateful fro people to help me achieve my goals and improve my skills.

Yes, this is possible. I would suggest diving into camera API V2 before building your application. Luckily there are tons of examples on the internet. Be aware though, the camera API V2 is not very easy to use.
