what Android layout or view type to be used to create horizontally swipeable images. What I am after is like what is used by a lot of app when we firstly install it or when it was just updated. Usually app uses this type of view to explain some main features of the app.
Hopefully I am making sense. Thank you.
You can use android ViewPager.
Visit http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/view/ViewPager.html
You can use a ViewPager class to implement this feature. Check out the tutorial here
You can also use coverflow to show swipable images with good animation that is more good than view pager only.

I'm looking for a a tutorial or a start for creating swipeable intros like this image for introducing and helping users in using the app, I know it is based on android swipeable views but all the links I found had tabs, and since these kinds of intros are very popular I though maybe there is a better and more forward way to do it.
Thanks very much
Try to use : Android-ViewPagerIndicator lib(https://github.com/JakeWharton/Android-ViewPagerIndicator)
You need to use a ViewPager and a library called ViewPagerIndicator for the small circle at the bottom.
I want to create a GridView like this one:
But, I don't know how! I know how work with Android GridView, but not like this one.
Suggestions of library or any tip will be welcome.
Thanks.

The View you are referring to can quite easily be created without using a GridView. If your components (clothing, bags, shoes etc.) are static, you can use nested LinearLayouts (with weights) inside a ScrollView.
Suggestions of library or any tip will be welcome.
You can try StaggeredGridView: Link

Does anybody know how the article layout in the Google Currents Android app is built? I'd like to use some very similar layout for my app.
Example:
The first thing which came to my mind was to build up an the layout with a WebView with multicolumn stlye (http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/). Am I on the right way or is my suspicion completely wrong.
How do I get the page flip through the swipe/fling gesture and how to get the corresponding page indicator at the bottom?
Thanks in advance! :-)
You must use native views android and not webView because it is not efficient. But if you begun on Android you can actually use a webView is a good learning.
However, if you're interreses the layout android http://developer.android.com/ the website is a very good teaching technique. And what is the view of pourfaire text scroll from right to left, I encourage you to use the library ViewPagerIndicator.
I hope I have helped you!
I've been updating an Android app today which so far had a single TableLayout-based View. Now, I'd like to duplicate that View with another set of backing data, and use horizontal swiping to switch between both. At some point I'd also like to add a third "page" with a different TableLayout.
I haven't really found any good ways to get this going. I've been looking at http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/lateral.html, and I actually copied the code fragment for the Tabs Pattern with NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS. That results in a little dropdown widget being added to the View title in the action bar, but clicking it doesn't show the tabs I set up (with actionBar.addTab()). I'm also not sure how to set up the view (XML) code to stick the TableLayouts in there.
I should mention that I don't have to care for pre-4.0 Android for this, so compatibility is not (much of) an issue.
Try to Use ViewPager Widget you can find useful links on the web, this widget handle the horizontal swiping between views.

Try ViewPager. Here is an Android Developers Blog post on ViewPager: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/08/horizontal-view-swiping-with-viewpager.html
Here is a small sample app using ViewPager: https://github.com/commonsguy/cw-omnibus/tree/master/ViewPager/Fragments
None of the other answers ended up helping much. However, this one is pretty good:

Can anyone let me know how to implement this feature specified at
http://vimeo.com/24475654
Specially i am interested to know how to give dots below images which get changed when we swipe the images. Is there inbuilt function or any open source to implement this ??
Another way to do it is by using ViewPager from android support package. Here is a tutorial on how to use it: Android User Interface Design: Horizontal View Paging
As for the 'dots' below you can refer to this custom library for a ViewPager indicator: JakeWharton / Android-ViewPagerIndicator
You can use the native Gallery to do this and extend it to look like the one you want.
It has on selected item listeners so you can simply select the dots that correspond to the selected items.
Here is a Gallery tutorial: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-gallery.html
