title: display view on top of action bar
body: <p>Is there a way to render a view on top of the action bar? I want to create a small tip box that will point the user to an item in the action bar. I know that a <code>Toast</code> with a set view will be rendered above the action bar. Does anyone know how to do this with a view?</p>
  
  <p>I have attempted using <code>FrameLayout</code> with <code>layout_gravity="top"</code> and inflating a view and then adding it to the running activity's layout. </p>
  
  <p>I appreciate you in advance. </p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong>:
  Here is an image of what I was thinking:

  <p><strong>Edit</strong>:
  Perhaps some more detail is needed. I am looking for a way, or to find out if it is even possible to add a view to the view hierarchy of the activity so that it is rendered last. </p>
  
  <p>Similar to CSS, I want a higher z-index order for this particular view ( the blue floating box in the image), such that it would be rendered on top of the Action Bar region in the activity. The view is in no way associated with Action Bar, it is simply drawn on top of it.</p>
