title: Combine Android native views and QML
body: <p>In our application, we want to use QML for our main UI.</p>
  
  <p>But we also have to re-use an existing Android component for A/V playback (of HLS streams with DRM) which is available as an Android View and using OpenGL.  On top of this (full-screen) View, we would like to have some QML components (eg buttons to control playback)</p>
  
  <p>Hence we want to mix native Android Views and QtQuick component: I did some research and found the following approaches:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://achipa.blogspot.be/2014/11/qml-wrappers-for-native-android.html" rel="nofollow">Here</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo8J-g5XPGQ" rel="nofollow">here</a> QML wrappers are created for native Android components but I don't think it allows mixing QtQuick components with the QML-Android components</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://github.com/2gis/qtandroidextensions" rel="nofollow">Here</a> QML wrappers are created for eg the native EditText and they <em>can</em> be mixed with QtQuick components.  But they are rendered offline so I doubt that this approach is feasible when rendering A/V</p>
  
  <p>Are there other approaches?<br>
  Suggestions/feedback/pointers appreciated!</p>
