Use one of these libraries:

Example for showcaseView:

Button closeButton = new Button(this);
        closeButton.setBackgroundColor(200);
        closeButton.setEnabled(false);

        showcaseView = new ShowcaseView.Builder(this)
                .setTarget(new PointTarget(330, 570))
//                .setTarget(new ViewTarget(((Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar)).getChildAt(0)))//works
                .setContentTitle("Add a new device")
                .setContentText("You need to add a new device to be able to use this app")
//                .hideOnTouchOutside()
                .setStyle(R.style.CustomShowcaseTheme2)
                .replaceEndButton(closeButton)
                .build();

If i follow your question than, You should use a RelativeLayout as overlay. and set visibility according to your need.

<RelativeLayout
   android:width="match_parent"
   android:height="match_parent">

<LinearLayout>

// your main layout goes here

<LinearLayout>

<RelativeLayout
   android:id="@+id/overlay"
   android:width="match_parent"
   android:height="match_parent">
</RelativeLayout>

</RelativeLayout>
