i'd like to display an layout that overlays my app.

this layout will display a hint - e.g. tap this to get started etc.

i would like this layout to be on top of the action bar also - so
that users can't click on it or menus until the overlay layout
is tapped on (and dismissed).

possible?

maybe I don't understand what you want but what I would do is make my main layout ( e.g. main.xml ) a FrameLayout, then within it define two relative layouts, one is your app layout and the other is your overlay. Set the background colour of your overlay layout to #00000000 to make it transparent and your setZOrder to bring it to the front so that it gets the click events. To 'dismiss' it, setVisibility( View.GONE );
