P.S. https://github.com/google-ar/sceneform-android-sdk/issues/227 seems like another hugely necessary piece to work well with a real camera without ARCore.

Shouldn't this be tagged as a feature-request -- or is it not because this gap is seen as a bug?

This strikes me as a huge remaining issue in SceneForm. Is this a SceneForm gap or a filament one? Having transparent occluding objects seems like a critical basic capability, while...

If one considers the technical details underlying the player, then, yes, I can see how the black screen might be expected. As a someone just using the API and reparenting...

Yes, seems like somewhat of a duplicate. I would note that in the case at hand here the PlayerView is part of a whole view hierarchy that is being reparented....

I ended up using java2typescript as an inspiration for my own custom Javadoc-doclet-based TypeScript definition generator -- and generating only a .d.ts file, i.e. no actual JavaScript implementation. On this...

P.S. I only generate a .d.ts file in my case because I'm dealing with a very large Java API -- and don't want to produce large amounts of actual JavaScript...

I am considering working on a PR. I am also considering adding TypeScript generation to an existing Javadoc doclet that I have been developing to produce stub Java class sources...

After digging into this further I have a bit better understanding of the tradeoffs involved here -- and the impossibility of what I'd really wanted to do.

You can try JavaScriptCore as an alternative on Android. Not that there are not downsides there, including that it's a C/C++ API that you need to wrap yourself for Java...
