Many apps when I launch them for the first time, take me through a slide show. I want to do the same in my app. I have no idea how it's done and how to go about it. Is there a library that does this? What are some ways I can do this? From my question you can see I have no clue how to even start going about it; but you can also see that the question is clear. So thanks for any hint.

Create an Activity for the instructions. Check in your MainActivity whether the app is first launched. If so, start the activity.

You have to start a new Activity for this, containing a slideshow with your instructions. First check if the tutorial has been already launched before, maybe using SharedPreferences to save the status.

So it is truly a slideshow? I call it a slide show, but I didn't know that it actually was. So it is truly a set of pictures that I am running in front of the user? Thanks. – Katedral Pillon Feb 15 '15 at 17:01

There are many styles for app tutorials, images slideshow is only one of them, and maybe the most simple to make. – Davide Feb 15 '15 at 17:05
