Custom instruction overlay with highlighted view (without using ShowcaseViewLibrary)

I would like to know if there is any simple solution to creating an overlay where an element would get highlighted.
So the final result would look something like this:
I would like to avoid using ShowcaseViewLibrary from variety of reason (it doesn't have the look I need, it's no longer supported etc.).
I thought about using FrameLayout but I am not sure how to achieve the highlighted existing element. Also putting the arrows or bubbles to the elements so they connect precisely.

A quick and easy way would be to make a copy of the Activity you want to demonstrate with overlays added and just show that. It's what I do and it works fine.

Please note that this code is incomplete and is under development, you should tweak it according your needs.
This layout will draw a circle around the View over its Rect.
Instead of drawing the circle you could drawRect to the Rect bounds of the target view or drawRoundRect if the View's Rect and background drawable Rect are complementary.
Drawing the line (drawLine()) should be from the target view:
startX = (rect.right - rect.left)/2;
startY = rect.bottom;
endX = startX;
endY = startY + arbitraryLineHeight;
if the endY is larger than the layout height you should be drawing it upwards rect.top - arbitraryLineHeight, otherwise you draw it as it is.
arbitraryLineHeight could be descriptionViewRect.top which makes it more dynamic, instead of using a constant value.

Animate draw to canvas in drawable

I have a drawable that draws a progress bar using onLevelChange and calls draw() to make a line at bottom on canvas. How can I animate this line draw?
public class BorderProgressDrawable extends Drawable {
private static final int MAX_LEVEL = 10000;
private int mLevel = 0;
private Paint mPaint;
public BorderProgressDrawable(Context context) {
mPaint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
mPaint.setColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.accent));
mPaint.setStrokeWidth((float) CommonMethods.dpToPx(context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics(), 4));
}
#Override
public void draw(final Canvas canvas) {
int width = canvas.getWidth();
int height = canvas.getHeight();
float visibleWidth = (((float) mLevel) / MAX_LEVEL) * width;
canvas.drawLine(0, height, visibleWidth, height, mPaint);
}
#Override
public void setAlpha(int i) {
mPaint.setAlpha(i);
}
#Override
public void setColorFilter(ColorFilter colorFilter) {
if (colorFilter != null) mPaint.setColorFilter(colorFilter);
}
#Override
public int getOpacity() {
return mPaint.getAlpha();
}
#Override
protected boolean onLevelChange(int level) {
mLevel = level;
return true;
}
}

Custom progress bar with different height

can anyone help me create a progress bar with a styling like this one:
I know this is a common question and solution can be found, but I didnt saw a progress bar with the progress heigher than the other part.
So can someone help me create this?

So wih the help of #pskink's code, I've managed to create a solution for this issue. So here is the code and I hope it will help someone in the future!
public class ProgressDrawable extends Drawable {
private final int mForeground;
private final int mBackground;
private final Paint mPaint = new Paint();
private final RectF mSegment = new RectF();
public ProgressDrawable(int fgColor, int bgColor) {
mForeground = fgColor;
mBackground = bgColor;
}
#Override
protected boolean onLevelChange(int level) {
invalidateSelf();
return true;
}
#Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
float level = getLevel() / 10000f;
Rect b = getBounds();
float gapWidth = b.height();
float segmentWidth = b.width();
mSegment.set(0, 0, segmentWidth * level, b.height());
mPaint.setColor(mForeground);
mSegment.set(0, b.height() / 3, segmentWidth, b.height() - (b.height() / 3));
mPaint.setColor(mBackground);
canvas.drawRect(mSegment.left, mSegment.top, mSegment.right, mSegment.bottom, mPaint);
}
#Override
public void setAlpha(int alpha) {
}
#Override
public int getIntrinsicHeight() {
return 3;
}
#Override
public void setColorFilter(ColorFilter cf) {
}
#Override
public int getOpacity() {
return PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT;
}
}
and usage:
Drawable d = new ProgressDrawable(getActivity().getResources().getColor(R.color.toolbar_text_blue), getActivity().getResources().getColor(R.color.toolbar_text_blue));
dataProgress.setProgressDrawable(d);
dataProgress.setProgress(percent);

Android: Animate Custom Drawable programmatically

I have a Custom Class extending Drawable as seen below which is meant to draw an Arc. From my MainActivity controlling the Drawable, I am redrawing it based on some input values that I translate to the appropriate "angle" for the shape. E.g.
This is the initial state of the drawable:
This is the second state of the drawable:
Red arrow indicates the motion i am trying to achieve
I am trying to "animate" the change from state 1 to state 2 with a sweeping motion. Any ideas on how to do that? Should I redraw the shape a number of times gradually transitioning between state one and two?
My Drawable Code:
public class CircleLoadingBar extends Drawable implements Drawable.Callback{
private Paint paint;
private Canvas canvas;
private float angle;
private RectF outterCircle;
private float padding=30;
public void invalidateDrawable(Drawable drawable){
final Callback callback = getCallback();
if (callback != null) {
callback.invalidateDrawable(this);
}
}
public void scheduleDrawable(Drawable drawable, Runnable runnable, long l){
invalidateDrawable(drawable);
}
public void unscheduleDrawable(Drawable drawable,Runnable runnable){
//empty
}
public CircleLoadingBar(){
this(0);
}
public CircleLoadingBar( int angle){
this.angle=angle;
this.canvas=new Canvas();
paint=new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.GREEN);
paint.setStrokeWidth(padding);
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
paint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.ROUND);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
outterCircle = new RectF();
}
public void setAngle(float angle){
this.angle=angle;
}
#Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas){
canvas.save();
Rect bounds = getBounds();
outterCircle.set(bounds.left+padding,bounds.top+padding,bounds.right-padding,bounds.bottom-padding);
int[] colors = {Color.RED, Color.GREEN, Color.RED};
float[] positions = {0,0.2f,1.3f};
SweepGradient gradient3 = new SweepGradient(innerCircle.centerX(), innerCircle.centerY(),colors,positions);
paint.setShader(gradient3);
canvas.drawArc(outterCircle,90,angle,true,paint);
}
#Override
public void setAlpha(int alpha) {
// Has no effect
}
#Override
public void setColorFilter(ColorFilter cf) {
// Has no effect
}
#Override
public int getOpacity() {
// Not Implemented
return 0;
}
}
My MainActivity Code:
public class MainActivity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate();
setContentView(R.layout.main);
textView= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview);
circleLoadingBar= new CircleLoadingBar(10);
textView.setBackgroundDrawable(circleLoadingBar);
}
public void stateUpdate(float angle) {
circleLoadingBar.setAngle(angle);
textView.invalidate();
}
}

After a lot of searching around, I found the answer.
Summary:
I needed my Custom Drawable class to implement Drawable.Callback and Runnable interfaces (see code below).
CustomDrawable.class
public class CustomDrawable extends Drawable implements Drawable.Callback, Runnable{
private Paint paint;
private Canvas canvas;
private int angle;
private RectF circle;
private float cx,cy;
private float mHeight,mWidth=100;
private float mRadius=20;
private Drawable.Callback cb;
private boolean running=false;
public void invalidateDrawable(Drawable drawable){
super.invalidateSelf(); //This was done for my specific example. I wouldn't use it otherwise
}
public void scheduleDrawable(Drawable drawable, Runnable runnable, long l){
invalidateDrawable(drawable);
}
public void unscheduleDrawable(Drawable drawable,Runnable runnable){
super.unscheduleSelf(runnable);
}
public CircleLoadingBar(){
this(0);
}
public CircleLoadingBar(int angle){
this.angle=angle;
paint=new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.GREEN);
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
paint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.ROUND);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
circle= new RectF();
}
#Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas){
canvas.save();
Rect bounds = getBounds();
circle.set(bounds);
canvas.drawArc(circle, 90, angle, true, paint);
}
public void nextFrame(){
unscheduleSelf(this);
scheduleSelf(this, SystemClock.uptimeMillis() + 250);
}
public void stop(){
running=false;
unscheduleSelf(this);
}
public void start(){
if(!running){
running=true;
nextFrame();
}
}
public void run(){
angle++;
invalidate();
nextFrame();
}
#Override
public void setAlpha(int alpha) {
// Has no effect
}
#Override
public void setColorFilter(ColorFilter cf) {
// Has no effect
}
#Override
public int getOpacity() {
// Not Implemented
return 0;
}
}
Now that your Drawable implements both, you can just "run" it as a separate thread, initiated and controlled by your activity via start and stop functions.
