Currently on Android, If you have the following settings, Annotations do not work.
meetingSettings.setCustomizedMeetingUIEnabled(true);
meetingSettings.hideAnnotationInScreenShareToolbar(true); meetingSettings.hideStopShareInScreenShareToolbar(true);

I have tried this sequence:

check user permission for overlay permission: Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION

Create MobileRTCShareView instance and add to the layout hierarchy

sdk.getInMeetingService().getInMeetingShareController().startShareViewContent(shareView);

sdk.getInMeetingService().getInMeetingAnnotationController().startAnnotation(); (ERROR here – SDKERR_WRONG_USAGE)

I would like to use my own UI to start annotations within a meeting without having to use the annotation/sharing toolbar.

I have only tested this implementation with the Android SDK 6.3.1 (26548) running on Android 13.
