I saw this when I first started and opened my emulator and wanted to include something like in my application.
Does anyone know how you implement this tutorial? Do you basically have a layout file with a TextView, ImageView, and a Button? And inflate it with some kind of dialog fragment? Is there a way to account for the transparency as well?
I experimented with a dialog fragment but mine looks nothing like the screenshot above. (no transparency, position at center, etc...)
I have never used it so I can not give you a code example. However it is documented in the Help Section of the developer documentation.
This library can help you too.

I am building an Android application in which I would like to add a button inside the TabLayout. I understand that it is technically feasible but please confirm if it is the recommended approach in Android.
For the reference, below is the sample screenshot. I am looking for similar implementation but instead of displaying only image, I would like to display a checkbox along with a label.
Please help me understand the recommended approach and also please share if any reference in the official documentation about this.
As there are no answers so far, I would like to share my research's key points.
It is not recommended to use icons or some other buttons within the TabLayout.
The TabLayout should be totally allocated in the full width otherwise the user experience will get negatively impacted when we add more number of tab items.
I need to create horizontal selector like in Uber android app (Please check screen shot). But that selector list must be dynamic means (Array[1,2,3,4...]). Please check screen shot:
I trid a lot but nothing worked with grate UI like this, I have trid also this link: check link. Its worked but bad UI because its uses paint to create things. Please help me to achieve same thing. I am trying it for payment selection option based on region. So its must be dynamic.
You can use android ui widget seekbar for this purpose and then customize it.
Also you can refer the following example

I am looking for a way to create a short overlay intro of an app to display to first time users. These posts gave me some understanding of how it can be done, but not entirely:
How do I create a help overlay like you see in a few Android apps and ICS?
How to use LayoutInflater / ViewStub for an overlay
I do not understand how to access my elements correctly, since my root layout element is a LinearLayout that includes an Actionbar and a ViewPager instead of containing actual elements.
Are there any frameworks that does this for you?
I think that this library : ShowcaseView is your best option.
As its name implies, it allows you to recreate the Android 4.x showcase view; ie :
.
The documentation of the project explains how to implement it.
Word of advice though : this kind of explanation view is viewed as bad design most of the time : if your application is well designed, you don't need to provide a tutorial to the user, it is supposed to be intuitive.
It can be totally justified in some cases of course, just be sure that :
-your users really need a tutorial.
-it is not because you are doing something opposite to the Android convetions.
Have a look at MaterialShowcaseView. It inherits from ShowcaseView and is up-to-date.
This is neither a code-question nor technical issue, so I admit that it can be somewhat off-topic with StackOverflow, but I'm in really need of help because I already took lots of time.
I'm working with a help window implementation and I'd like to do this with a type of view that I've seen in some of Android button options. In some versions of Ubuntu, the view can also be seen when you point your mouse arrow within an application shortcut in the main taskbar. It looks like a balloon-type dialog box. Bellow is a screenshoot of the view:
My issue is a somewhat softheaded one: I don't know the technical name of this UI component, and so I can't search for documentations and examples.
I've already searched for several combinations of terms such as dialog-box, menu, balloon, popup-menu and so on, without success. Can someone tell me the name of this UI and, if possible, post a simple example of usage in Android/Java?
Thanks in advance!
There's no native UI with that approach but, you can use any viewgroup you prefer (depending on the content of it) and set the background of this viewgroup to be a 9 patch drawable.
That looks like a popup. It's not a standard component, but you can create one like that with PopupWindow.
See how to create popups in Android for details implementation.
There is no UI View for that: check http://greendroid.cyrilmottier.com/ There is something like QuickAction. Simple to use and free ;)
I was just wondering if anyone knew of an open-source custom view or even a way to make a decent strip of buttons on Android similar to the image below
I have looked at the tab views and such Android provides and it isn't what the client is looking for in terms of aesthetics. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
You probably should implement a custom RadioGroup to implement the UISegmentedControl you have shown in the image. see this github project which implements just that!

Here is another resource i've used to implement the same thing you're after:
