Why TextureView is created as preview view when api level >= 24 ?

[Sejen27]

    private PreviewImpl createPreviewImpl(Context context) {
        PreviewImpl preview;
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 14) {
            preview = new SurfaceViewPreview(context, this);
        } else {
            preview = new TextureViewPreview(context, this);
        }
        return preview;
    }

API Level	Camera API	Preview View
9-13	Camera1	SurfaceView
14-20	Camera1	TextureView
21-23	Camera2	TextureView
24	Camera2	SurfaceView

same problem here, crash on 8.0 android because of using TexttureView TextureView doesn't support displaying a background drawable
