I am making a small application and I have noticed that a lot of people don't really check the menu to see all the possible options my app has, and I think that they don't know how to access it.
I have seen this on an application some time ago, and I tought I should make something like that.

I would like to display like a transparent image over the app with small arrow pointing to all the buttons that I have on my app. The problem is I don't really know how to make this and I thought may by somebody here knows how.

Try the Showcaseview library.

The ShowcaseView library is designed to highlight and showcase specific parts of apps to the user with a distinctive and attractive overlay. This library is great for pointing out points of interest for users, gestures, or obscure but useful items.
