I think adding a transparent full screen view will be enough.
If you want to make a hole that allows the button below to be pressed, you might be able to do that with controlling touch event.

If you're care about the positions of each guide, I think you can make it by programmatically because you know each guided item and can get absolute position from window or root. (And if the base layout of all guided items is RelativeLayout, you can just add guide items in it relatively)
