Embed tutorial with application - android

In my application the customer want me to embed a tutorial to help users learn it. This tutorial would be in the form of a screen with animations showing how to perform tasks.
Before implementing this ... I want know if there is any framework already out there, that I can easily use?
Thanks

You could embed a video file using a VideoView.

No. You'll have to do this manually. Designing a general framework or library to do this would be very hard since the use cases will wildly vary from app to app.

Charts/Graphs in Android Studio

I'm developing a dashboard app where I need several different charts/graphs. Is there any way that I can create them without any library? And if so, can you teach me how?
Thanks in advance!
If you want to learn how to use a chart properly I suggest you to watch this tutorial.
After that you can start something with live data and/or github arsenal implementations. But first start with the fundamentals. Hope that answered your question also.

What tools are better to create a mobile app with a db, buttons, forms

I'm a noob self learning programmer and i'm wondering how can i make an application for mobile. As an example, so you can understand what i need (and easier for me to explain), think of an application where the user can store products and related information by filling forms (an icon, price, name, features, weight...) and then consult stored information.
For me it looks like the best way to create it is by using web related tools like HTML, CSS, MySQL...
The problem i find is that i don't know how to create a web shaped application and then turn it into a mobile app.
I'm sorry if i didn't explain the best way, but hope you guys get my point are able to put me in the right way!
Thanks a lot in advance!!
P.S. Beyond HTML and CSS and a little MySQL i have basic knowledge of JS, C++ and C#.
As a newbie, it's better to do the correct choice at the beginning.
For Android development, the entry point is the developer portal: https://developer.android.com/
The app you've thinking of is quite classic: You won't have troubles to find some tutorials on the web.
You can do that with either SQLite or Firebase Realtime Database, you choose.
I guess, the easiest way will be creating responsive website and then include that in your app as a WebView. However, this might give users the feel that you're just loading the website in a WebView if you don't include some features like, maybe, push notifications, update checker, theme changer, something like that.
You can alos find a lot of easy tutorials and templates to build a WebView app.
P.S.: I myself have made an Android app of my friend's blog by first making a website and then using WebViews.

Best way to make a video merging mobile app

I am looking to make a mobile app that will allow the users to take X number of videos and it will combine them together to make a single video. Users will also be able to choose what to put in between each video recording and background music.
I have more experience with Xamarin/C# than with native Java/Obj-C but the only method I have found online that might accomplish this would be with using native with FFMPEG. Is this the case? Is FFMPEG even going to work for this? Is there a way to use Xamarin to accomplish what I need to do?
Thanks
Have a look at the AVMutableComposition and its related classes.
There's an example here, about halfway down the page: http://www.raywenderlich.com/13418/how-to-play-record-edit-videos-in-ios
It looks like it's covered by Xamarin: http://iosapi.xamarin.com/index.aspx?link=T%3AMonoTouch.AVFoundation.AVMutableComposition

Best practices for wrapping web app for Android

Im looking into wrapping a existing web app for Android. Im doing some research to find the bets ways to do this?
Does anyone have any good links or tips that might be good to know?
Thankful for advice!
The standard way to do this is to wrap the web app in a WebView. The android dev guide also has a whole section on things you should do when wrapping.
I don't know what is the meaning of your wrapping.
But if you want a tool to make an application that looks like a native android app but instead use the the web technology, you can use PhoneGap.

Android Graphics Making Line/Bar Graphs

I need to create a graph for a page of an android app i am creating. I have looked everywhere on line, but i can't find a good tutorial for graphics and graphing? And i also don't want to use somebody else's code.
What methods am i supposed to use inorder to create a proper layout for lets say a line graph?
Can anybody recommend a tutorial for making a graph that is actually usefull?
Thank You in Advance
You can use the library chartdroid without having to worry about any copyright mess.
Otherwise go here for a tutorial that might help you write your own.
I implemented graphs a while back using the jQuery based JavaScript library flot to draw graphs on android in a webview. Graphs can be drawn using HTML and JavaScript files stored locally, or from the internet. You'll find some useful information to get you started here but i dont know of any tutorials, i think writing your own code from scratch to display graphs would be alot of work, i think you should consider using existing libraries!
