I want to put a a few tutorial text boxes over our existing layout for new users.. I want to create the exact same effect of a dialog; pop up the box, having it point to something and darken everything else..
Someone suggested to use frame layout then put a full screen translucent linear layout over the base layout, but i have no idea how to do that..
For anyone who’s curious, I had to use a non-dialog because the screens were very customized..
Regardless what i did was put my initial layout in a frame layout, then put another layout on top of it (simply by adding another layout under framelayout) that used a translucent background image, then i added my other layouts.. Then in the code (after the inital layout was created), i used various methods on the view i wanted to overlay (getLocationOnScreen() and getLayoutParams() to set the width and height)
