Hi, thanks for replying. The issue is that these buttons come up only when the target detects. My query is to display a button to another activity,  irrespective of the target detection. This button should be constanly present on the camera screen. Can we do this in imagetargets app.

In that case, you're simply overlaying a view on the GLView.

See the code in this thread..
