Why not texture view?

[MHKalantarian]

I believe TextureView performance is way better than SurfaceView specially in fragments. So whats the reason behind using SurfaceView in this app?

Also when I tried to convert it to TextureView the Scanner Reticle in the middle will turn to black!

No particular reason I think, both could work for demo purpose and we didn't try out TextureView and do any performance measurement between them. So feel free to pull a request if one surpasses another obviously :)

The problem is I tried to convert it, there is a problem in the reticle which I don't know where the problem is and will be glad if you or anybody else could help me out.

Hi, in general SurfaceView performs better and TextureView is compatible(less corner cases with bug) on more API levels.
