Overlays are displayed above everything on the screen - even on the home screen or above other applications.
Overlays can be created from services as well which makes them almost perfect for interacting with them.

Example - Memory Monitor
cfg.Portrait;
function OnStart()
{
app.ToBack();
lay = app.CreateLayout( "Linear" );
img = app.CreateImage( null, .3, .1 );
img.SetBackColor( "#66333333" );
img.SetAutoUpdate( false );
lay.AddChild( img );
ovl = app.CreateOverlay();
ovl.AddLayout( lay, 0.8, app.GetTop() );
app.Animate( Update, 1 );
}
var lst = new Array(100).fill(1e5);
function Update( time )
{
var mem = app.GetMemoryInfo();
lst.push( Math.round( 100 * mem.avail / mem.total ) - 50 );
lst = lst.slice( -100 );
img.Clear();
img.SetPaintColor( "red" );
img.DrawLine( 0, mem.threshold / mem.total, 1, mem.threshold / mem.total );
img.SetPaintColor( "white" );
img.DrawSamples( lst, 50 );
img.Update();
}
Methods
The following methods are available on the Overlay object:
Number: fraction (0..1)
String: comma “,” separated: “ShowWhenLocked”, “TurnScreenOn”, “KeepScreenOn”
String: “px”
ovl.AddLayout
