Can you please guide how to do it through your Spotlight view.What I am doing is -

menuItem = toolbar.getMenu().findItem(R.id.action_delete);
                View[] viewsSpotLight = new View[]{linLayEdit, recyclerView, (View) menuItem};

                String[] uniqueUsageIDs = new String[]{"linLayEdit", "recyclerView", "delete"};
                String[] titles = new String[]{getString(R.string.txtEdit), getString(R.string.viewers), getString(R.string.txtDelete)};

                String[] subtitles = new String[]{getString(R.string.editYourProfile), getString(R.string.viewersOfYourProfile), getString(R.string.deleteYourProfile)};

                ClsConstant.introSpotLight(context, true, viewsSpotLight, titles, subtitles, uniqueUsageIDs
                        , getResources().getColor(R.color.yellow_dark), getResources().getColor(R.color.white), getResources().getColor(R.color.Dark_green));

                isFirstRunPreference.edit().putBoolean("isALogDetailFirstRun", true).apply();
