Totally Dismiss ShowcaseView During onPause or any Other Time

This might be useful to someone. If you need to totally dismiss showcaseView / GuideView. You can use the below method.

Using .dismiss(); would only move to the next showcase and not totally remove the GuideView.

This is what works for me.

((ViewGroup) ((Activity) getContext()).getWindow().getDecorView()).removeView(mGuideView);

It's what we do in dismiss() implementation method. you can check here:

ShowCaseView/showcaseviewlib/src/main/java/smartdevelop/ir/eram/showcaseviewlib/GuideView.java

((ViewGroup) ((Activity) getContext()).getWindow().getDecorView()).removeView(this);
