In our app we want to enable in app notifications, like this one:.
We're looking for open source solutions and have found cruton which looks like a good fit but was last updated over two years ago.
We also looked at snackbars, but this view only disappears when the user has clicked the x sign so it's not a classic snackbar.
Any suggestions?
Found a good alternative with this library

When opening Google Maps' Drawer menu for the first time, or with cleared app storage you will get a view like this:
The normal view is typically like this:
I've been messing around in my XMLs for a while and I still can't get anything remotely similar to show up. Does anyone know how they do the selective dimming and the overlayed callout?
Try this library: https://github.com/amlcurran/ShowcaseView
A bit outdated, but I used it a couple of years ago and it still works perfectly in my app.

Overlay image to make tutorial in Android app

Closed 8 years ago.
I am developing an App for which I want to create a help screen like one which comes when we setup an Android Device for the very first time.
Something like these:
There are two libraries you can use to achieve this effect which are:
ShowcaseView
Robodemo
Try going through their samples and read about how to use them on their respective pages. If you still need any help, do let me know.
My question is how to make a notification/listener when the keyboard disappear on Android platform. To be specific, it's a notification/listener just after keyboard disappear, like UIKeyboardDidHideNotification in iOS rather than UIKeyboardWillHideNotification
Before writing my question, i searched many many possible answers in Google and here, but they are neither what I'm looking for.It seems to be an piece of cake at the very beginning, however, I struggled whole week and got no good result.
Thanks

How to implement horizontally scrollable tabs?
I would like to implement tabs in an app that essentially also allows swiping between two screens. A good example would be in the App section in the Google Play store. There are horizontal scrollable tabs up top and they move as the screen scrolls.
I am targeting Android 4.0 with this but need to make it backwards compatible.
I am obviously not asking anyone to write the entirety of code on this, I simply am looking for a tutorial somewhere, or advice on how to go about starting this. The Dev site show exactly what I want here: http://developer.android.com/design/building-blocks/tabs.html
But doesn't show HOW to do this (or at least make it visibly clear); it only says that's its good practice to do.
take a look at this API, I use it and its very easy to implement
ViewPagerIndicator
This is usually done by using ViewPager class. In order to make it backward compatible take a look at the ActionBarSherlock project; there you will find examples on how to implement this kind of design pattern and make it work even on Android 1.6.
Also, as Alex said, you can take a look at the ViewPageIndicator project of the same developer if you don't want to care about an action bar.

Android - iphone style tabhost
I am trying to figure out how to achieve a tab bar look and feel like the one provided in the iOS for android applications? I am using the normal one but it makes my application to look old school. I would like to achieve the same visual experience as the image below:

I have also looked at mobyfactory-uiwidgets-android bu they are far from being equal to the one in the image.
Thanks T
There's nothing that says the TabHost in a tabbed layout needs to be above the tab content area, so feel free to stick it wherever. But please don't put tabs on the bottom just because you can; Android users aren't used to this and you need to have a better reason than "it looks old-school" for violating UX expectations.
If you just want to fix the look of individual tabs themeselves, you can use TabSpec's setContent(View v) method to setup a custom view for a tab. Also see the source code to the Google IO 2010 Schedule app. You can definitely spruce up tabs this way in lots of good ways without messing about with user's understandings of what Android tabs are and how they function.
