So I was looking at this thread on how to save an overlay on a picture. Android save view to jpg or png
I have my code taking the picture and saving the image just like the answer in that thread suggests. The problem is that it's saving just the overlay with a black background. The actual picture that was taken is not part of the image. Here is my code:
package com.commonsware.android.skeleton;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.Bitmap.CompressFormat;
import android.hardware.Camera;
import android.hardware.Camera.*;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Display;
import android.view.Surface;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.WindowManager;
import android.widget.FrameLayout;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;

And here is my layout:
