How to use SurfaceView in ARCore to get the Pose of the camera

I'm trying to create a camera application which saves the camera position along with each image captured. I'm new to Android Studio and ARCore.

I created a camera app using Android Studio tutorial, then tried to use the Pose class inside the app. But it gives me an error saying that it requires and OpenGL context. I then realized that I have to use SurfaceView instead of PreviewView for Pose to work. But I don't get how to use it properly even after reading the documentation. Please help me out.

I've found an example demonstrating ARCore texture's reading app that implements GLSurfaceView and its renderer. Due to the fact that the code takes almost 300 lines, I'm posting a link to it.

class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements GLSurfaceView.Renderer {

    private GLSurfaceView surfaceView;
    private Session session;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        surfaceView = (GLSurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surfaceview);

        // some code...

        surfaceView.setRenderer(this);
        surfaceView.setRenderMode(GLSurfaceView.RENDERMODE_CONTINUOUSLY);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();

        if (session == null) {
            if (!CameraPermissionHelper.hasCameraPermission(this)) {
                CameraPermissionHelper.requestCameraPermission(this);
                return;
            }
            session = new Session(/* some context= */ this);
        }
    }
}
