An Android library for highlighting elements.

Highlight

Highlight is an Android library that highlights UI elements. It can be integrated into other Android apps to showcase an app's usage. The following screenshots demonstrate the concept:

Integration

Copy the 'highlight' folder to your project. Make it known to Gradle by adding the module to settings.gradle:

include ':app', ':highlight'

Then add a dependency in app/build.gradle so that Highlight will be compiled as part of your application:

dependencies {
    // Other dependencies...
    implementation project(':highlight')
}

API

Here is an example on how to define a Highlight for an UI element:

HighlightManager highlightManager = new HighlightManager(this);
highlightManager.addView(R.id.some_widget).setTitle(R.string.title)
                .setDescriptionId(R.string.description);

Refer to the demo app to see a complete example.

Status

This is an early version. It works fine for basic usage but needs more ways to customize the look-and-feel of the hightlight. Feel free to send a Pull Request!
