Take a look here:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html

There is all the code you need to make an activity which shows the camera preview. You simply need to put a FrameLayour as the base layout of your activity. Then add a SurfaceView with a registred SurfaceHolder.Callback handler to draw your preview on it. Finally add whichever layout or widget you need to build your own layout above itthrough the FrameLayout services.

Using SurfaceView you can achieve this, for better understanding, see the source code of zxing.
