I need to add help menu in my android application to help users know about the app for first time when they start Should show pop up screen like this
well, I can do this by adding such images but Is there any library or sample project available that I can use to achieve this!
here is developers link down there is a semi transparent image
What needs to happen is getting the locations of the relevant views and pass them, in an intent, to a help activity with a transparent background. Luckily, there is an open source library for this. Check out ShowcaseView . It is what you are looking for.

I am building an android app and been following a particular design on this link
This is the design I have build so far
I have been trying to make a background similar to the one in the link. Which is transparent. Or I don't know what it's called.
Could someone help me provide any details to it? What it is called and how can I make one?
Seems like in the link it is just a blurred image. You can create on yourself and set it as background.
You can use this for make your background transparent
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
I've seen this in some apps , When the user runs the application for the first time, it shows some semi transparent screen shots that points to a certain part and shows some texts under it .
What does it calls ? How can I make some for my application ?
Edit:
this is the image of what i mean :
thanks

I am trying to create an android instant messaging app for a school. So I had downloaded Telegram's app code from github.I was wondering how I could add more emote icons to it, so that I could make few new sets of icons and add it to the existing ones. Or can you tell me how to add custom emoji's to the code.
I couldn't find any tutorial online.
You should upload your code, so we can see what it is about.
Also provide a link to download the project from github.
You also need to know the basic of Photoshop. If you want to
create custom icons you rreally need to know how thinks work.
you can find the Emoji's Map, and extend it with your Emojis, Entry Should look like:
sEmojisMap.put(0x1f354, R.drawable.emoji_1f354);
it's little complex to deal with . but this link mey help:

Im developing an app and wanted to add some page browsing with those dots to identify your current page like the image below, can someone tell me how is that control called?
Thank you in advance
There is nothing in the Android SDK that provides this "out of the box". It is probably implemented as a LinearLayout holding ImageView widgets, though there are plenty of ways of doing it. If your intention is to use this with a ViewPager, there is an implementation of this UI in the ViewPagerIndicator library and perhaps in other open source libraries as well.
If you really want to see what that app is doing, use uiautomatorviewer to inspect the running UI of that activity and see what widgets are involved.
There is no default Android view for that.
Take a look at this:

I'm attempting to create an activity which allows a user to mask out part of an image. The way I'm trying to achieve this (yes trying, because it still isn't working for me, please see my other SO questions), is by painting a color over the base image using the canvas. I saw an app this morning which basically does exactly what I need and I thought I'd ask here if anyone knows how the app is doing the hard work and if there is a good tutorial or documentation somewhere for this concept?
Basically you press part of the image and it automatically masks out to the edges of the object in the image, you press again to add more, and press to remove.
the app is called "AThumb Cut" and hope its ok to link to it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instacut2
This is an amazing application indeed. They work like Magi tool in PhotoShop. Try this tutorial it tells you how to do it in Java.
