Gradle

Step 1:

Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Step 2:

Add the dependency

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.mpetlyuk:initial_tips:$latest_version'
}

Usage

1. Create view for your tip:

val inflater = LayoutInflater.from(Context)
val tipView = DataBindingUtil.inflate<ViewDataBinding>(inflater, R.layout.item_tooltip, null, false).getRoot()
/* Decorate your tip view according to your wishes */

2. Create tip:

val tip = Tooltip.Builder()
    .attachTooltipView(tipView)
    .withEnterAnimation(AnimationComposer(FadeInAnimator()).duration(ANIM_DURATION))
    .withExitAnimation(AnimationComposer(FadeOutAnimator()).duration(ANIM_DURATION))
    .withGravity(TipVerticalGravity.BOTTOM, TipHorizontalGravity.LEFT)
    .withAnchorView(/* anchor view */)
    .build()

3. Create a queue of tips:

val tooltipsQueue = LinkedBlockingQueue<Tip>(listOf(tip))

4. Show tips:

TipsManager.showTips(binding.root as ViewGroup, ContextCompat.getColor(this, 0 /* your resource color for dimming */)) { tooltipsQueue }
