Android Onboarder

Android Onboarder is a lightweight library that helps you to create a simple and beautiful welcome screen (as known as App Intro, Onboarding Experience and etc.) for your users.

Usage

Gradle

Add dependency in your build.gradle

compile 'com.github.chyrta:AndroidOnboarder:0.7'

Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.chyrta</groupId>
    <artifactId>AndroidOnboarder</artifactId>
    <version>0.7</version>
    <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

Implementation

Create an activity which should inherits from OnboarderActivity. Look at the example below to see how that library works.

public class IntroActivity extends OnboarderActivity {

  List<OnboarderPage> onboarderPages;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    onboarderPages = new ArrayList<OnboarderPage>();

    // Create your first page
    OnboarderPage onboarderPage1 = new OnboarderPage("Title 1", "Description 1");
    OnboarderPage onboarderPage2 = new OnboarderPage(R.string.app_title, R.string.app_description, R.drawable.my_awesome_image);

    // You can define title and description colors (by default white)
    onboarderPage1.setTitleColor(R.color.black);
    onboarderPage1.setDescriptionColor(R.color.white);

    // Don't forget to set background color for your page
    onboarderPage1.setBackgroundColor(R.color.my_awesome_color);

    // Add your pages to the list
    onboarderPages.add(onboarderPage1);
    onboarderPages.add(onboarderPage2);

    // And pass your pages to 'setOnboardPagesReady' method
    setOnboardPagesReady(onboarderPages);

  }

  @Override
  public void onSkipButtonPressed() {
    // Optional: by default it skips onboarder to the end
    super.onSkipButtonPressed();
    // Define your actions when the user press 'Skip' button
  }

  @Override
  public void onFinishButtonPressed() {
    // Define your actions when the user press 'Finish' button
  }

}

Tips

Remember that you can (Inside your Activity that extends OnboarderActivity):

  • Change dot's colors (active and inactive)
  • Darken the layout where buttons are placed
  • Change divider color, height (in dp) and visibility
  • Choose to use FloatingActionButton or not
  • Set text size of title and description
  • Force multiline description to be centered
  • Set title to skip and finish buttons
  • Hide skip button from the user
setActiveIndicatorColor(android.R.color.white);
setInactiveIndicatorColor(android.R.color.darker_gray);
shouldDarkenButtonsLayout(true);
setDividerColor(Color.WHITE);
setDividerHeight(2);
setDividerVisibility(View.GONE);
shouldUseFloatingActionButton(true);
setSkipButtonTitle("Skip");
setFinishButton("Finish");
setSkipButtonHidden();
setTitleTextSize(12);
setDescriptionTextSize(12);
setMultilineDescriptionCentered(true);
