Create tap target view in the Android application.A Tap Target implementation in Android based on Material Design Onboarding guidelines.Animation View to Highlight particular Views for Android, it can be Used with Views that you see important.

Creating New Project

  • Create a new project in Android Studio from File ⇒ New Project. When selecting Empty Activity and proceed.
  • Add taptargetview and stetho dependency to your build.gradle and rebuild the project.
dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
    implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'
    implementation 'com.getkeepsafe.taptargetview:taptargetview:1.11.0'
    implementation 'com.facebook.stetho:stetho:1.5.0'
}

Choosing the Colors

  • Open colors.xml located under res ⇒ values and add the below color values.

colors.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <color name="colorPrimary">#3F51B5</color>
    <color name="colorPrimaryDark">#303F9F</color>
    <color name="colorAccent">#FF4081</color>
</resources>
  • Open dimens.xml located under res ⇒ values and add the below values.
<resources>
    <!-- Default screen margins, per the Android Design guidelines. -->
    <dimen name="activity_horizontal_margin">16dp</dimen>
    <dimen name="activity_vertical_margin">16dp</dimen>
    <dimen name="title_text_size">20dp</dimen>
</resources>
  •  Open Style.xml located under res ⇒ values and add the below values.
<resources>

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">

        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>

</resources>
  • Create four XML layouts named activity_main.xml  under res ⇒ layouts.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

  • Create Class SampleApplication.java and modify the code as below

public class SampleApplication  extends Application {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {

  • Finally open AndroidManifest.XML and make WelcomeActivity as launcher activity. 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="targetview.wappteh.com.targetview">
