How to set Showcase View in android

A Material Design themed ShowcaseView for Android

This library is heavily inspired by the original ShowcaseView library.

Since Google introduced the Material design philosophy I have seen quite a few apps with a nice clean, flat showcase view (the YouTube app is a good example). The only library out there however is the original one. This was a great library for a long time but the theming is now looking a bit dated.

Gradle



Add the jitpack repo to your your project's build.gradle at the end of repositories Why?

/build.gradle

Then add the dependency to your module's build.gradle:

/app/build.gradle


NOTE: Some people have mentioned that they needed to add the
           @aar suffix to get it to resolve from JitPack :

compile 'com.github.deano2390:MaterialShowcaseView:1.2.0@aar'

How to use


activity_dashboard.xml



DashboardActivity.java



Now, test your app to press shift+F10 and see the effect of showcase view in android app.
