Research direction
Investigate how minicap captures the screen and why SurfaceView renders black while TextureView works. Focus on Android graphics layers and whether minicap uses a hardware overlay. Check if there are any known issues with Android 6.0.1 and SurfaceView. Consider modifying minicap to handle SurfaceView by disabling hardware acceleration or using a different capture method. The issue is in the openstf/stf repository, specifically in the minicap submodule.
